How much do I weigh? (With pics)

Hi everyone

I'm really struggling with body image at the moment. I weighed myself for the first time in years the other day and was absolutely gobsmacked at how much I weigh. Maybe I'm delusional and do look that big, who knows?

From the these pics can anyone make an educated guess as to how much I look like I weigh? For reference, I'm 5 foot 7.

Thanks again

was going to say size 16. 75 kilos?

More important than your weight - you have awesome taste in clothes!! You have access to a baby for snuggles, how lovely and lucky. You enjoy spending time outside. I suspect behind the scribbles you are smiling! You have overcome an eating disorder, that's amazing.

So, from the tiny bit of information shared your weight is the least interesting thing about you. You seem to have so much more in your life than numbers on a scale, well done you

OP it’s obviously up to you but if you’re struggling I’m not sure this post will help you. Also it’s really hard to see from the pictures so any of the guesses above will be very rough guesses!
be kind to yourself. Eat as well as you can and move as much as you can x

ActDottie · 13/10/2023 14:14

I’m 5ft 9 and similar body type to yours, so I’d say 14-14.5 stone?

Mavissdaviss · 13/10/2023 14:15

You look lovely and I love your sense of style especially the yellow headband

Alwayswonderedwhy · 13/10/2023 14:15

Around 16-17 stone?

Dentistlakes · 13/10/2023 14:16

I certainly wouldn’t have put you at 18.5 stone in those pics. I was going to guess around 14.

Thanks everyone for humouring me and being so kind. I'm bloody EIGHTEEN AND A HALF STONE in those pics. I love food 🤣 actually when I said I weighed myself the other day it was actually about a month ago (was typing for speed tbh) and I've lost a stone since then so fingers x'd I can stop hoying stuff into my mouth for a bit longer and get rid of a bit more clem.

Also thanks for the compliments, I didn't post for them but I appreciate them so much. I love my polar bear jumper very much too and am super excited that it's nearly the right time of year to crack it back out!!

Edited

Just read this update! Honestly you don’t look 18.5 stone!!

Congrats on losing a stone so far though that’s amazing.

Try Nutracheck, select the losing 1lb a week option so it gives you a sensible amount of calories. It's a really good app. I've lost nearly a stone since the beginning of last month and I'm also 5'7", size 14. Three inches off my waist, now 31" and in the "healthy" zone for waist to height ratio. BMI is still 27 though and I'm 12 and a half stone. Goal weight 11 stone (BMI 24). The jeans I'm wearing were too tight last month, really comfy now.

14-15 stones. Size 16/18.

Chanhedforthis · 13/10/2023 14:22

You certainly don't look 18.5 stone op!
I'd of said 15 max.

You look lovely btw.

caringcarer · 13/10/2023 14:25

16 stone 6lbs?

Workawayxx · 13/10/2023 14:27

You look lovely and certainly not 18.5 stone. I was going to say 12-13. But well done for losing a stone! I think it's all about finding the weight that suits you - that you feel best at and can maintain without going ridiculously strict on diet.

Universalsnail · 13/10/2023 14:27

About 15-16 stone? Guessing size 18?

Crikeyalmighty · 13/10/2023 14:28

I would have said about 16 stone because before I started to diet I looked pretty similar (maybe even a bit bigger) but am only 5ft 4-

I'm now 13 stone 13 and still look biggish but bits of me look better(face, legs etc)

By the way, you don't look enormous and really have great style. It's easily pullable back if you want to- has taken me a year so far (but I'm 61) and I want to be another 2 stone down by this time next year

Lilova · 13/10/2023 14:31

I am 12 stone and 5.5" ... size 14, although can do 12 sometimes. I would have guessed you at 14-16 stone approx.

IncognitoMam · 13/10/2023 14:31

You're doing fab. I'd have guessed less than that.

I'm 5ft 8 and over 13st. I want to lose a stone ish. It's not easy. I am more toned though.**

Userxyd · 13/10/2023 14:32

I thought 14 stone based on me size 12 c. 12 stone 5'8. You look great! X

Viviennemary · 13/10/2023 14:34

About 14.5 stone.

SkyFullofStars1975 · 13/10/2023 13:50

I was going to post and say that people were being brutal...

You carry it extremely well, and look lovely.

Who gives a shit what the scales say. As long as you're happy and well, then fuck them.

She has a BMI of nearly 40 so losing weight will give her better odds at living a happy and healthy life for longer. Most people do give a shit about that.

LindorDoubleChoc · 13/10/2023 14:40

I love guessing people's weight or age! I'll always be absolutely honest and not try to flatter anyone or put anyone down.

So I haven't scrolled back through the thread to see if the answer is on here. I would say 14.5 to 15 stone.

GingerLiberalFeminist · 13/10/2023 14:40

15-16st, I'm 5'9" and looked like that at 16.5st

isthesolution · 13/10/2023 14:41

Just be careful. It is so easy to slip back into an eating disorder.

If you want to lose weight/be healthier then do so but no feeling captive by the scales. Be happy x

3luckystars · 13/10/2023 14:43

I would never have guessed that and was going to say 11.5 stone.
I love your jumper too!

grooveraidiator · 13/10/2023 14:43

i was going to say 16 stone. you carry it well.
