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 2 and 7 stone 8 (size 6).

I'm 5ft4 & about 11 stone, size 12 I run & walk lots. I'm probably the fittest I've ever been but I'm not happy with my gunt. My meals are good but my snacks are bad! I am always hungry & I eat LOTS of biscuits, chocolate & crisps. I know I need to stop but the more I exercise the more I want to eat! I try to cut down & eat healthy but after 3-4 weeks of eating carefully there is no change so I give in.

Pixiesgirl · 11/04/2024 22:46

Same height and no idea what I weigh, somewhere in the 14 stone range probably. Just to give a different perspective.

Happy that I plateau around this weight and have not gone higher. I'm a size 18 and quite frankly couldn't give a shite.

fashionqueen1183 · 11/04/2024 22:47

I’m about 7 stone 3/4lbs and a size 6-8 on top and size 10 jeans.

I got up to 10st when I was pregnant both times but it came off after 9 months. I always go back to the same size.

Welliwould · 11/04/2024 22:49

5'4" and 14 stone or just under. size 18-20 in tops, 16 in bottoms. Depressing. feel very unfit and lardy.

Any heavier, i really feel uncomfortable. Any lighter i generally feel ok but people comment on my weight. I went down to 6st 4lbs after a breakup last year 🥲

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

I came here specifically to tell you that I'm 5ft2 and significantly heavier than the responses I've read so far. I don't even own scales, because frankly they're the enemy - but I'm likely somewhere in the mid-late teens. I haven't been a size 10 since I was about 19.

This is in no way a "fat off," or strange unhealthy brag btw, just wanted to raise my chubby hand 🙋🏻‍♀️.

Youcunnyfunt · 11/04/2024 22:59

I yoyo between 8.5 - 9.5 stone and I’m 5 foot nothing. I’m fine with being around 8.5 but prefer being around 8 stone.

RubyTuesday10 · 11/04/2024 23:01

5ft 3 and weigh 10 stone 12. You’ve done really well OP, I feel depressed about my weight.

swapcicles · 11/04/2024 23:02

I'm gonna raise my chubby hand too!
5ft 2/3 and this morning was 15st 5.
Size 18/20, I'm big all over and always have been which I guess is where the weight is.
Been a stone heavier and think if I was around 11st I'd be about a size 12.going on previous weight loss although now I'm doing it slow, steady and sensibly, no faddy diets for me!

NavyPeer · 11/04/2024 23:03

I fluctuate between 63-65kg.

I have slightly more muscle than average and definitely feel a bit stockier and solid compared to other girls of my height

I’m a size 10 basically everywhere and a 28 inch waist in jeans and fitted clothes. Surprised that people lighter than me are saying they are a 12-14. Where are you all shopping?

Youcunnyfunt · 11/04/2024 23:03

Honestly though, it doesn’t matter what everyone else thinks or feels - do things that make you feel good (rather than just look good). The looking good will follow because your mindset will shift and you’ll start to see what we see!

jackstini · 11/04/2024 23:05

5'1' and almost 10st

Too much around my middle after 2 x cs and if I could do something about it easily I would

I'm 5ft 4 and weigh 12stone 5. I've lost a stone since Xmas and intend to continue losing

PotatoPudding · 11/04/2024 23:11

5’2” Currently 9st 4lb, up from 8st 12lb. I look and feel overweight. I am a wobbly size 12.

BettyShagter · 11/04/2024 23:11

I'm 5ft 3", between 8st 10 and 9 stone, and 55 years old.

I was always between 8st 3lb and 8st 7lb until menopause hit and an underactive thyroid, about 3 years ago.

I feel good about it and mostly wear a size 10 or sometimes 8 depending on the style and where I buy my outfits from.

TakingTheHorseToFrance · 11/04/2024 23:18

This is a big eye opener for me I'm 5ft2 and 9st 3lbs.

My lowest was 8st 7lbs and i felt brilliant. When i go over 9st I feel very very wobbly. I have a PT but have been eating crap.

These replies are giving me a push to get under the 9 st

Smallyeti · 11/04/2024 23:24

5’ 1” and 8 st. I’ve lost 2st 7lbs over the last year on Wegovy. I have severe arthritis and really high blood pressure. I’m in less pain and my BP is normal for the time since my 20s. I’m in my 60s. I feel able to walk easier. Im weaning myself off the Wegovy and am determined to keep the weight off. I just couldn’t lose it before as my portion size was way too big for my level of activity. I hope to goodness I can keep my portion size down and I’m not too hungry once the drug is out my system . All my clothes now fit or are a bit big and my bras no longer dig in painfully. It’s been an expensive thing to do but I used my PIP to pay for it and it’s been a very good use of the money health wise.

No you are not. I am well over 20 stone.

paristotokyo · 11/04/2024 23:34

5ft 2.5. Currently 9 stones and had second baby 3 months ago but back to pre-pregnancy weight. Before my first was born I was 8.5 stones though and I'd like to get back to that as I felt my best then but it's been a struggle to lose that half stone since then. Lightest I've been is 7 stones and I felt really underweight for me personally.

Flintthecat · 11/04/2024 23:35

5"2 and 11 stone.

Have been just over 8 stone when following slimming world religiously before lockdown, but it's crept on over the last year or so- I'm blaming turning 40, stopping running and hormones. This is my heaviest ever and I hate how I look in photos taken last week and how unfit I felt on the walk where they were taken - I think I was in denial before then. I've started some exercise again- the next thing is to look at my diet- I want to be around the 9 stone mark.

Mookie81 · 11/04/2024 23:57

Was 14 st 3 pds, am now 12 st and feel amazing. Planning to maintain between 11-11 and a half. I know that's technically still overweight but realistic for me to live at.
I'm keeping 🤐 about people who feel 'chubby' at 8 or 9 st.

Runnerinthenight · 12/04/2024 00:05

I weighed 14 stone at my very heaviest. I lost weight in every pregnancy and put it back on while breastfeeding.

In my early 60s I've gradually lost weight over the last few years (appetite much less, wasn't trying) so that now I'm 9st 7lbs and I don't want to lose any more because my face would look gaunt. I'm anything from a 10-14 depending on the fit, and bigger if it's fitted trousers! It's weird. Mostly a 12 though.

I'm a shit shape though! Very slender legs, not a big bum, narrow shoulders, decently trim arms, but a gargantuan tummy!! I have no idea how much I'd need to lose to get rid of that!

Whiskeyandkittens · 12/04/2024 00:13

5 foot 3 and 8 stone 8 - at least half a stone of that is on my boobs, so am a size 10 on top and 6-8 on the bottom. 24% body fat, 26" waist - then a completely out of proportion pair of giant tits that make me look like I'm wearing a tent if I wear anything on the looser side 😅

I run a lot and weight train, and have come to the conclusion that I'm stuck at this size and shape now whatever I do, so I might as well be happy with it!
