5 ft 10 how much do you weigh?

Inspired by the 5 ft 3 thread.
Prior to lockdown I was 10 and a half stone and pretty strict with myself diet wise. I am now 11 stone and more relaxed and can't decide whether to try to loose half a stone or stick with where I am now.

@Hardbackwriter. I'm the same. I really have to starve myself to get to under 11 stone. I don't know how people do it!

Limeavocado · 09/07/2020 22:12

@JorisBonson same! Best for me to keep quiet about mine 😂

Quite inspiring though to see so many fellow tallies who clearly look after themselves so well!

ExpectingToFly · 09/07/2020 22:14

Oooh I'm 5'11'' and weigh about 13stone. I've always been around 10 stone 8/9 but then after my first child I settled at 11stone. But now after my twins 2 years ago I'm 13stone. 12/14. Can't seem to shift it. Try not to give it too much headspace

bringbacksideburns · 09/07/2020 22:17

I'm nearly 5.9 and was super skinny most of my life and never put weight on or had to worry about what I ate.

Got a little bigger after children but still a nice 10/12.

Then came the Menopause..

I've just weighed myself after reading this, because in the middle of lock down I know i was nearly 12 stone - the heaviest I've ever been. i have only lost a couple of pounds so still 11.9 ish.
I think I'd feel better if I could stick around the 11 stone mark realistically.

How much are you supposed to be at 5.10?

Hardbackwriter · 09/07/2020 22:20

How much are you supposed to be at 5.10?

I just looked it up and the healthy BMI range for a 5'10 woman is 9st3 to 12st6, which obviously is a pretty broad range

Wannabegreenfingers · 09/07/2020 22:21

11.8, ideal weight is 11 stone. I look ill at anything below 10.5. Also very surprised at the number of people who weigh so little at this height.

Longdistance · 09/07/2020 22:22

Well, I’m 5’10” and about 15 stone 🙈 I have been 63kg before up and down over the years. Lockdown has not been kind to me Sad I’m a great cook.

laidbacklife · 09/07/2020 22:38

I’m 1.76m, so 5 ft 9.5” and weigh 60kg, which is around 9.5 stone. I’ve been the same weight since I stopped growing (bar pregnancy of course).

BurntOrange · 09/07/2020 22:39

This thread shows how much frame and shape can make such a difference. I've got 34G boobs and am 11st 7 at nearly 5ft 10. The lightest I can remember being is about 10st 7 and it was a huge effort. I also have wide hips and shoulders, big feet etc. Frame plays a massive part it what can look slim at different weights/same height

aloaf · 09/07/2020 23:53

I normally range between 50 and 55kg. Currently breastfeeding baby DC which has made me weigh more towards 50kg.

Pipandmum · 10/07/2020 00:00

When younger I was 10st 10 and a size 10-12 but had to exercise a lot and be super careful about what I ate. I'd be happy now at 12 st and a size 14 - at 5' 10" I think that looks good. I'm almost 60 and a mother no point trying to compete with a 30 year old!

Nanalisa60 · 10/07/2020 00:09

I’m same height as you and have also gone up to 11 stone might even be a bit over by now to frightened to go on the scales, I know I’m getting bigger as I now have four boobs!!

I’m going to try and get back down to 10 and a half, because I hate the four boobs!! I I’m not buying bigger clothes.

ItsLeviOsanotLeviosA · 10/07/2020 00:18

I’m 5’ 10” and 8 stone 10. I suffer from anxiety though and have a fear of food so there are days where I eat very little. My ‘good’ weight is 9 and a half stone.

IAmTheBFG · 10/07/2020 00:29

I'm 5 ft 11 and about 11 st 10 - I don't mind being this weight as I'm still a size 10-12 because I have a big frame (broad shoulders, broad hips, size 10 feet, massive hands). I look my best at around 11 st 4 though, but up until 12 st 7 I look reasonable.

babbi · 10/07/2020 00:48

Sorry nothing of value to contribute except to say I have major height envy .
Tiny 5ft 1 here ...
I would love to be your height and would wear high heels to go way over 6 ft !!!
Tall women look so glamorous

Justgivemewine · 10/07/2020 00:59

5’10 and currently 11st 12lb

After losing a stone and being really pleased about how much better/fitter I felt I have put it all back on since lockdown started 😲😥

Too much comfort eating and lack of access to exercise clubs I am a member of. Never mind at least I can get pissed at the local pub instead 😡

Justgivemewine · 10/07/2020 01:03

Oh god @babbi, being tall is not all it’s cracked up to be. Finding trousers that aren’t ankle swingers, towering above all your friends, having big feet and never being able to find nice shoes....................

Icanflyhigh · 10/07/2020 01:05

Didn't see this thread. Just made one about myself. I'm fat.
5'4" and 12st 7lbs.
Disgusted with myself after seeing a picture taken at the weekend. I look like a fucking barrel.

ILikeyourHairyHands · 10/07/2020 01:13

I'm just over 5'8" and 10st 5lb, Bit chunky atm tbh.

MinnieMountain · 10/07/2020 06:48

5ft 10. I don't normally weigh myself but I'm 10st 1lb.

Frame size makes a big difference. I'm slim boned. Weight goes on my stomach first, so I have to keep it off.

MonsteraCheeseplant · 10/07/2020 06:53

@babbi I've not enjoyed being tall my whole life! I hate being the height of the average male, always taller than my friends. Feeling big, not cute. I thought of myself as the BFG...i'd love to be petite. The grass is always greener! Grin

daytripper28 · 10/07/2020 06:58

I'm a bit shorter at 5'8'' and weigh 9 and a half stone.

sunnycloudyrainy · 10/07/2020 07:02

I'm amazed too I'm 5'9 and although I'm carrying too much weight at the moment it's nearly impossible to get under 11.5 stone for me, which is a size 10 Confused.

vanillandhoney · 10/07/2020 07:05

I'm 5'9 and currently just over 12 stone. I've lost about 16lbs since May and ideally want to get down to 10 stone.

As for clothes size, I fit into clothes that are anything between a 10 and a 14 - it really depends on brand! Probably about a 12 as average though.

My happy weight is about 10 stone or just a bit more. I used to sit there comfortably but it's a bit more of an effort these days Blush

earlydoors42 · 10/07/2020 07:38

@hardbackwriter you look great! I feel a bit cheated that I only ever fitted into a size 8 when I was 9.stone... I am a size 12 now at 10 stone. Maybe I have big wide bones!
