5 ft 3, how much do you weigh?

[Jula332]

After years of avoiding the scales out of the fear I would slip back into having a weight complex, I braved it today when visiting my osteopath.

I'm 10 stone and stand at 5 ft 3. My dress size ranges from 10-12 depending where I shop.

I'm not sure whether to be relieved or disappointed as whilst I haven't been at all careful about dieting or maintaining, I've heard a few people say how being within 8 stone is the ideal for somebody my height.

I'm not obese but am a bit flabby in some places. I think I look nice in clothes.

If you are 5 ft 3 or close to, how much do you weigh?

I’m in weight loss mode at the moment. I’m 5ft 2.5” and weighing in at 9st 8lbs. Planning to get to 9st 1lbs (9st would be a delight).

In my 20’s and 30’s I weighted 8st to 8st 5lbs and felt great. That weight would be too harsh on my late 40’s face now .

My weight gain is primarily tummy, chest and thighs.

I don't think clothes size is an accurate guide. I find the sizes vary hugely depending on the shop. Which is annoying.

About 8 stone here and a wardrobe of size 6, 8 and 10.

Way too close to 11st. When I was 18 I was under 8st and got turned away by the blood donation people. I've had 2 kids since then and it's probably not realistic to get back down that far but I think I would be a lot happier at 9st. If only this was possible while still eating several chocolate bars each day.

12.4 currently but working on getting down to 10 stone. Currently a size 14 and apple shaped. Pre kids I was a size 10 and 10 stone.

5”1 and currently 8st2

I always feel envious of those who carry weight well - I very much don’t. Apple shaped, so it all goes on my stomach and before I know it if I over indulge for even a few days - can’t do up my jeans any more! Very small frame so I look best somewhere around 7.5st.

Clotheswise usually XS/26 but lockdown put paid to that and now none of my nice summer clothes fit

This thread would be so much more interesting if everyone posted their age.

5'0" currently 8 stone 4 size 6/8 but planning on getting down to 7 stone 10 just to get my legs trimmer really.

5ft3 and 8st2. I usually wear a size 8 but can be a 10 or a 6 depending on the store.

I was 7st8 last year and looked gaunt so I put on half a stone. At my age (46) I end up looking haggard if I drop below 8st, in my 20s and 30s I looked good at 7st8.

About 9 st 7. I was getting closer to 9, but have put a bit on again.

I wear a size 10, pretty sure my 1990s size 10s wouldn't look at me though!

I feel a lot better than when I was just over 12st.

Was 14 stone size 16-18 in Oct, 12 stone now size 14.

Im 5’ 1” and weigh 8st 8. Creeps up to 8st 12 . I have big boobs (34DD) and they weigh, out of proportion. I wear 8-10 bottoms, 10-12 tops.

6ft and 10stone, size 10

Oh im 46. With a slight mum tum.

5'4 and go between 8st 9 - 8st 13lbs. I feel my happiest at the lower end. I'm 32.

I'm just under 11 stone and size 14-16

Every now and then I lose weight down to 10 stone and look and feel better for it .

Then I get a bit lax with my eating and put it all back on again

I've been doing this for the last 19 years since having my DS

Agree

20's 8st3
30's 9st4
40's 10st5

See a pattern? This is why I'm on a diet to get back to 9st4 I do get told I look younger so dont want to lose too much.

I'm 5' 3" and used to weigh just under 8 stone. Haven't weighed myself since lock down. Size 8 doesn't fit me anymore.

Okay, if you want ages...
5ft 3:
In my 20's I was 8 to 8 1/2 stone

In my 30's 8 ½ stone

In my 40's after giving birth i was at the highest 9 stone 2, but mostly 8 stone 10.

I'm now nearly 47 and 7 stone 8, though intentionally so. And I feel like my old self again!

5ft 2 and 8st 6. I want to get down to 8st. Before children I was 7st 10. The heaviest I’ve been was after I was pregnant and I was 9st7 and I felt fat. Size 8-10, I have big boobs.

10 stone on the nose. 9 is slightly too slim for me, was 11 after I had my 10lb baby and felt huge.

7 st 10 lbs. I don't have a big frame.

I'm 5'1 and 9st. Size 6/8 on top, with little to no bust, and size 10/12 on my bottom...thanks to a massive bottom.

I put on a stone over the Christmas period two years ago and have never been able to get rid of it!

I'm about 11st 5. I look and feel shit. I don't look too bad from the front but I store all my fat in my arse and thighs and my arse is colossal right now. Not happy I need to make changes

I’m 5ft 4. Aged 33. Was always around 9 stone before kids and that was perfect for me. Now I usually average being 10stone. Right now I’m 10st 10 and feel awful! Currently doing the 30 day shred and trying to eat healthy to get the weight off!

5.4 and10.10lb currently. I prefer to be 10.4 but at nearly 50 I'd settle for 10.7 and be toned.

I'm currently doing couch to 5k to shift a few lb and tone my back and belly.
