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 foot 4. I weigh 70 kg (11 stone 2) and not happy about it at all. Post meno spread. Also a lot of cellulite. I've started intermittent fasting. About 15 years ago I weighed 8.5 -9 stone. While I wouldn't want to be that slim now I'm older I'd like to be about 9.5 - 10 stone.

CalmConfident · 12/04/2024 00:22

75kg….i dare not convert it to stones. Too much, best at 9 stone or under

oberst · 12/04/2024 00:25

5ft 3 and 7st 10 currently but after a family bereavement I've not been eating healthily. Usually 7st 4 and size 4/6

BubblinTrouble · 12/04/2024 00:36

I’m 5ft and fluctuating between 6.6-7 stone. I’m just straight up and down but always been slim. Wish I had a bigger bum and boobs but don’t know how I get that. I do lift weights but probably not heavy enough.

Gingerisgoodforyou · 12/04/2024 00:44

5' 3" and 8.5 stone. Would love to be back at 8. At 7 stone I looked scrawny. But it's shape I'd like to change really. Always used to be slim, but post dc I have a definite belly.

Haribosweets · 12/04/2024 01:25

4 foot 11 and 12 stone. I'm desperate to lose 3 stone. I used to be 8.5-9 stone and a size 10. Currently size 16-18. Menopause / age makes it so much harder

Thatsthewayitisnt · 12/04/2024 05:20

I am 5 foot 3 and just under 13 stone. Far too heavy. I look best around 9 stone and size ten but I used to be 8 and a half once upon a time. I’m trying to lose weight but it’s a slow process.

Caspianberg · 12/04/2024 05:26

5’4 and 50kg (about 8stone). I have always since mid teens been around this. Gained 20kg (3 stone) when pregnant, but it went straight back to 50kg within weeks tbh. It’s just my natural weight I guess.

Codlingmoths · 12/04/2024 05:31

I’m 5’4’’ and 9 stone. I have been trying for a year to lose the extra half stone after having baby 3 2 years ago and nothing doing so I’d say you’ve been wildly successful! I’m a 10 but sometimes challenged around the middle to fit that where there’s no stretch.

JMAngel1 · 12/04/2024 05:44

I’m 5 foot 3 and around 8 stone. I have a definitely belly and fat that I can squeeze around my middle. I look good in clothes but not great out of them especially as I get very bloated towards end of day.
I am very petite boned though and people describe me as skinny - but if they saw me in my underwear they would re-think!! I have friends who weigh a lot more than me but look a lot better in a swimsuit and more toned. I do Pilates every day and walk an hour a day but just can’t shift the belly fat. Also do IF low carb no sugar. But I am 53 so everything gets harder!!

JMAngel1 · 12/04/2024 05:45

Sorry 52!

DomesticatedSavage · 12/04/2024 06:31

I'm 5ft 4 and weigh 10 stone. I used to be nearer 15 stone, I felt fit enough at the time so it didn't actually bother me too much, I have a large frame, big feet and hands, so could never be petite or 7st like some posters.

I lost weight at 49 as didn't really want to still be obese going into my 50s and I'm so much more comfortable now.
Clothes wise I'm a size 12 but my proportions aren't great so it's not like I lost weight and suddenly everything looks wonderful, I've got big boobs but absolutely no arse at all.

MrKDilkington · 12/04/2024 06:40

I'm 5 ft 3, age 40, and currently weigh 9st 5. I'm happy with that.
I start to feel chubby and cumbersome when I hit 9st 10. Just a few pounds make a big impact at this height.
I wear a dress size 8-10 (the 8's are vanity sizing, I'm not a true 8).

PheobeBebe · 12/04/2024 06:44

5"3, 8st 12, size 10. Quite happy with my weight, though I'd prefer to be 8st 7. I'm also aware that I need to tone up a bit

Brainded · 12/04/2024 06:54

5’2” and around 9.5 stone…size 10. Have been 7stone size 6 but that was 20years ago 😂

sawnotseen · 12/04/2024 06:57

I'm 5ft and 7stone. Always have been as an adult. 8 stone 3 and 8 stone 1 when pregnant. Both babies 7lb plus.

GobbolinoCat · 12/04/2024 06:59

@eatingalltheeverything

That's amazing weight loss, how did you manage it.
I'm happiest at 9 stone and havant seen that for a long time.
I'm raising my fitness levels and addressing diet next

iloveeverykindofcat · 12/04/2024 07:00

I'm 5"4 and 48kg at the moment which is a bit under where I felt healthiest due to stress and digestive problems. I look fine though as I'm small framed. My family is all petite and Arab and a lot of my relatives got diabetes whilst still in the "normal" BMI: we have that unfortunate tendency to thin limbs and a belly.

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.

Well done. Mmm.. lots of humble bragging on here along the lines of "Oh, I'm so wobbly, my stomach is so big, i am 8st and need to get back to 7st 7...". I mean it's all relative but please those with very low weights be careful as some weights on this thread sound as unhealthy as being overweight.

CeeJay81 · 12/04/2024 07:07

5'3 and around 9 Stone. 8 top and 10 bottom. I've been lighter but my big bum never shifts, so no point. Always going to be a pear, cant change it.

DizzyDandilion · 12/04/2024 07:14

I am between 8 and 8 and a half stone. I used to be under 8 but realise look well scrawny and old if head that way if ill or stressed. As I get older I feel that being thin, thin really doesn't suit me.

Chicci1 · 12/04/2024 07:14

Five foot 3 and 9 stone 5 at the moment. It’s the heaviest I’ve been. I feel my best at 8 and a half stone.

You do realise people have wildly different bone structures, bone density and muscle density, meaning they weigh a very different amount to someone of the same height?

LemonySnickets · 12/04/2024 07:22

5'3", 10 stone 3lbs, size 10. This seems to be my 'comfortable' weight, when I've a good balance of eating and exercising. I've have been 16+ stone (20+ years ago) and I've been just below 10 but can only stay there a day or 2 before creeping back to just over 10.

ManchesterBeatrice · 12/04/2024 07:27

9 stone.

I'm okay with it, but would like to be 8.5. Have a large boobs and hips, but a 25 inch waist, so will always be slightly heavier than other people my height I think.
