Just out of curiosity. I’m 168cm so almost 5 ft 7. Weigh 69.9kg-72kg depending on the time of the month and wear a size 31 Jean. I feel massively grumpy and podgy, and tbh shocked that I’m almost a size 14! I was a size 8 (55kg) prelockdown, went up to a 10/12 after that and then even more so after having dd2 who’s just turned one. I’ve joined the gym but I’m a terrible snacker and husband also travels so I never get a chance to go. Currently feeling very sorry for myself as I’ve got the period bloat and sitting munching on salted pretzels which definitely won’t help!

I'm between 5ft 7/8 and weigh 107kg. Hate it and looking forward to being fit enough (recent op) to be able to sign up to the gym again

5 ft 8 and weight 70kg.
pre kids I was 63 kg. I was a slim size 8/10
post kids but pre lockdown I was 67 kg.
id love to get down to 67 kg put perimenopause has slowed my metabolism a lot.

5ft 7 and about 120kg.

my weight is the least interesting thing about me. If I hadn’t been sucked into diet culture for the last 25 years I’m sure I’d be less.

3 years of unpicking my worth from my weight. Fattest I’ve ever been but by far the happiest and most secure.

56kg, 5'6, would like to be 52kg again - felt better.

Thisisthedawningoftheageofaquarius · 05/04/2023 21:21

5-6 and weigh 63kg
size 10 marks and boden and 12 other high st shops.
would do 10k steps every day; a work out a few days a week. Also I don’t eat after 7 pm or before 10am. That helped me lose 10lbs and keep it off!

I'm 173cms and currently at 78kgs. It's the heaviest I've been when not-pregnant and I feel so soft and uncomfortable in my body right now.

Post DC1 I dropped to 62kgs (lots of walking and pilates) and felt (and looked) incredible.

Yuja · 05/04/2023 21:22

I am 168cm and am 55.5kg

Wowwellokthen · 05/04/2023 21:26

47yrs old
5ft 7
Currently 64kg
Size 12

Want to return to 58kg but perimenopause might prevent that! Trying NHS 12 week plan

GirlInTheDryShirt · 05/04/2023 21:29

59kg, I got up to 67kg during the pandemic and looked awful, but I have quite a small frame/light bones so being at the bottom end of the BMI range looks better on me

Babamamananarama · 05/04/2023 21:29

5'7/170cm, about 56kg which is what I weighed as a young adult, small size 10.
Thin doesn't equal healthy though - I was more like 60/61kg post kids but lost loads during cancer treatment a couple of years ago and haven't put it back on despite also going through medically induced sudden menopause. Definitely wouldn't recommend stem cell transplant as a weight-loss strategy though, given the choice obvs I would be a stone or two heavier and not have gone through that bullshit.

Dymaxion · 05/04/2023 21:32

5ft 6 and weigh just over 133 kg.

IWillBeWaxingAnOwl · 05/04/2023 22:13

5ft 7.5 and 82kg pre pregnancy. My plan is to try to drop to 70kg post pregnancy 😊

Bienemajas · 05/04/2023 22:16

I'm 170cm and weigh 55kg

bloodywhitecat · 05/04/2023 22:18

5ft 7 and 65kg. Wear a size 12 partly through habit from when I was 10kg heavier than I am now.

Random102 · 05/04/2023 22:18

5 ft 7 and 57kg.

mondaytosunday · 05/04/2023 22:24

My daughter is 5' 6.5" and weighs 70kg. She's a size 12. She's young and looks great, but I guess she could lose 5kg as she's pear shaped. No more than that though. I'm glad that her eating is normal and she has no hang ups about her shape or size, but she could exercise a bit as she does nothing but walk.

bringonyourwreckingball · 05/04/2023 22:24

5.6, 63-64kg with clothes on (on chemo so get weighed weekly) - size 12

Whatthediddlyfeck · 05/04/2023 22:27

Sorry that should be 172kg

Bumply · 05/04/2023 22:30

60 5'7" and 115kg

TubbsTattysyrup · 05/04/2023 22:33

53.07kg and 5’6”.

ThisIsNotARealAvo · 05/04/2023 22:37

I'm 5'6 and currently 77kg. Was 110 about 18 months ago, aiming for 73. I'm currently a 14. Smallest I have ever been was 70 and I looked a bit odd and everyone told me I was too skinny and should stop. That was 15 years ago though. Last few kilos are very hard to shift and at 44 it's not as easy as it was to lose the weight.

rookiemere · 05/04/2023 22:41

5ft6 and 74kg, have lost some weight over past 2 months through low carbing. I'd like to get down to 70kg to be in my healthy BMI.

TheYakWanders · 05/04/2023 22:43

I am 168cm and 67kg.
I would not worry about anyone else's weight and height comparison as it all depends on your natural build, genetics and your body - you could be muscular and weigh much more!

wtftodo · 05/04/2023 22:43

5ft 6.5, currently 65kg, a fat 10. On my frame this is a bit podgy for me. Hoping to slim back to 57 but I’d settle for 62 which makes me an 8-10.
