I've lost a couple of stone over the last year - I was a bit overweight at 11st 7 and am now 9st 7. I was a size 12-14, still a size 10-12 which I'm kind of disappointed about. Some days I still feel really chubby, other days I feel great. Which is normal, I suppose, taking into account time of the month and what my diet has been like. My next plan is to start exercising properly and tone up a bit.

I'm 5 ft 4.and 8st 12lb. Bit heavier than usual but been training loads so hope it's muscle lol. Size 8

Whu · 11/04/2024 22:17

5ft 3 / 10 stone/ size 12.
I exercise a lot - including weights so some of that weight is muscle - stomach could definately be flatter though. I have a pretty good diet but also a sweet tooth!

CharlieDickens · 11/04/2024 22:18

I'm 5 4 and 9 st 2. I'm an 8-10 but owing to middle age and stress, am probably closer to 10 at the moment.

Hollyhead · 11/04/2024 22:19

Currently 9stone but look best at under 8.5 stone but not less than 8. Really want to lose about 10lb to be a size 8-10 rather than a 10 too tight but 12 too big.

Titsywoo · 11/04/2024 22:20

13 stone. Feeling pretty overweight now. I'm acutally happy with anything under 11.5 as I'm ok with being a bit overweight. Currently obese so need to drop back down under 12 stone asap to stay healthy. Looks wise I like how I look though.

unclejonnymademydress · 11/04/2024 22:20

I'm 5ft 3 and 8 stone 5 and size 6-8.

Have been as low as 7 stone 5 and as heavy as 11 stone.

popplego · 11/04/2024 22:23

I'm shorter than you (5'1.5) and weigh 9st currently, I was 10st in January. I definitely still have some fat to lose but I look and feel far better at this weight. Ideally I'd like to lose about another half a stone.

theeyeofdoe · 11/04/2024 22:23

I’m 5’4” and vary between 9-9.5 stone. Feel fine about that.

Well done on losing two stone!

Shortcutsgalore · 11/04/2024 22:23

I'm similar to you op. I was 8/10 and around 8.7 pre baby, but I've never managed to get back to that even though ds is now 4 (though I also have DD who's 2). Christmas this year was a low - I could really feel the weight gain. I started slimming world in January and went from 10.11 and a 12/14 to 9.10 and a 10/12. I'm trying to think more about the fit of clothing than a weight this time - I'd like my size 10 jeans to be roomy. Weight gain is just pants when you're short - every pound is so visible on me!

buckingmad · 11/04/2024 22:25

5ft2, gave birth 14 weeks ago and am 8.5 stone. I’d like to get back to somewhere between 7.5 and 8 stone. I got back to 8 stone after my first child so fingers crossed i can at least manage that again. Pre babies I was 7.5.

unclejonnymademydress · 11/04/2024 22:20

I'm 5ft 3 and 8 stone 5 and size 6-8.

Have been as low as 7 stone 5 and as heavy as 11 stone.

I am precisely, to the pound, this person. Except 8 st currently.

3peassuit · 11/04/2024 22:26

I’m 5’ 3” and weigh around 8 stone 7. Size 8 high street.

PickAChew · 11/04/2024 22:27

5'4, 9st4 and 10-14, though I don't buy ready to wear that much, these days.

tigerbear · 11/04/2024 22:30

I’m 5ft 2 and 9.5 stone - heaviest I’ve ever been, all the weight is on my tummy and middle. I look pregnant when I’m naked. Not feeling good about myself at all, and have finally decided to do something about it - signed up with a PT yesterday (did first session with him already, and can barely move today 😩)

I look at my best at between 8/8.5 stone, so aiming for that in time for summer holiday.
However, last time i was that weight, was over 6 years ago. Now at age 46, perimenopause has kicked in, and find it much harder to lose weight.

BearlyUp · 11/04/2024 22:30

9st12, size 10-12-14 depending on the shop. I’m fine with that.
I’m curvy with big knockers.

sleepfortheweek · 11/04/2024 22:31

I'm 5'2.5" and around 9st 7lbs. Size 12. Fairly busty. Would like to be a stone lighter. I eat well and currently running 20-30 miles a week but my tummy will not shrink!

Lightest I was was 8st 2lbs and a size 8. Doubt I'll ever be that size again.

mlc0 · 11/04/2024 22:32

Im 5'3 & I'm currently 171lbs not sure what that is in stone cos I way in pounds. I'm a size 12-14 , quite comfortable but trying to lose a bit of weight!

imsureineverdo · 11/04/2024 22:33

I'm 5'3 and size 6, no idea on weight, maybe between 8 and 9 stone?

Stumpedasatree · 11/04/2024 22:35

5ft3 and 8 stone I think. I am happy with my weight, I lost a stone a few years ago, and have put on a little back since I started weight training. I do work out every day as I’m used to it. I’m very nervous of menopausal weight gain and lack of fitness/ strength.

ILoveChocolateandCoffee · 11/04/2024 22:36

Hi im 11stones something. Im 5footish, with being short is not a good look. I have big boobs big belly and nowhere to hide!

AllTheChaos · 11/04/2024 22:38

5’2”, 6 stone 10lb, down from 12 and a half stone. My boobs and bum have both vanished, my waistline is straight up and down. Not happy about it, and I’d love more muscle, but my weight loss was caused by health issues so not a lot I can do. I was borderline obese before, and definitely needed to lose weight, but not this much! I was happy at about 8stone, or 9stone when more muscular, as still felt strong and had shape. Now I look and feel scraggy.

AmaryllisChorus · 11/04/2024 22:38

I'm 5' 4 and weigh 11 stone. Way too much for me. I feel good at around 9st 7lbs of very toned muscle.Long way to go!

WoodBurningStov · 11/04/2024 22:40

I'm heavier than anyone else on this thread and I feel awful. I've put on several stone in the past 7 years due to various reasons.

I was happiest at 9st, I was a size 10 and carried the weight equally in my body. A bit heavier on my bum and thighs but still felt good

VerityUnreasonble · 11/04/2024 22:41

5ft 2, currently about 10.5st / size 12. I'd ideally like to be about a stone less but I'm not overly unhappy. Anything under 9st I start to look a bit too thin for my preference (lowest weight as an adult about 8.9 and size 6/8, highest around 12.5 and size 16)

LightSpeeds · 11/04/2024 22:41

I'm 5'2" and am about 8.13 (way too heavy for my liking. My scales tell me I'm 'hidden obese', which is probably true).
