What’s your weight and height?

I’m 5ft 4 and after years of being overweight I’m finally down to 9 stone 6.
Recent conversation with friend who said I should aim for about 8 and a half stone for my height despite me currently being in the ideal BMI range.
just wondering what others are and if you are happy with your weight.
I realise we all carry weight differently so not a goady threat by any means.
For the record I was 11 stone before the weight loss.

I'm 5ft 4 and if I were 8 and a half stone I would be very thin and hungry.

I realise we are all different but my optimum weight is 9st. Anything less involves undereating and hunger.

Same. I'm 5ft 4 and have never been 8.5 stone in my life.
I'm a size 8-10 and weigh approx 9 stone 4.

5'6 and 10 stone 11. Desperately trying to get into a 'healthy BMI' weight, which I believe is 10, 2.

Dont want to go any lower, just dont want to be overweight. But Im quite flabby

I'm 5'6 and 11 stone.

My BMI is in the healthy category, I know this because I worked hard to get here!

useitorlose · 03/06/2024 06:14

I'm also 5ft 4, 131lbs currently but happiest at 125. I was 149lbs last July. I'm 56.

coffeewithmilk · 03/06/2024 06:18

I'm 5'1 and currently 10st6lbs
I'm 3 months postpartum with my second child in 2 years. Have lost 8lbs so far
Want to get back to pre pregnancy weight of 9st

Twilightstarbright · 03/06/2024 06:19

5ft 5 and 122lb/55kg after losing about 4 stone. I don’t look too thin! I have a tiny build and my body fat percentage is higher than ideal which I’m now addressing. I’m monitored by doctors btw.

TeaGinandFags · 03/06/2024 06:24

Well done on your weight loss.

Lose more useless weight by ditching bitchy friend. They sound a nightmare. Or jealous.

I'm 5'7" and I don't have scales so no idea what I weigh. But my clothes are a bit baggy do I must have lost a couple of pounds.

Iaminthefly · 03/06/2024 06:32

I'm 5,4 and 8,2.

Ideally I'd like to lose a few lbs and tone up a bit. I have a really small frame though. Any heavier than I am at the moment feels too big for me.

AutumnOcean · 03/06/2024 06:40

5ft7 and 10.4 stone. I would like to be 10 stone but struggling to lose the last bit of baby weight (and I really like chocolate 😁)

Banshee9 · 03/06/2024 06:50

Is it body fat % that's is key here?

I'm 5 foot and 9 stone but my % is high so I've just been told that I fall into the "obese" category for my age range and need to get that sorted.

shearwater2 · 03/06/2024 06:58

5'7" and 12 st 11. I'm 48 and have been trying to get down to normal BMI for 15 years. Not for want of trying. I go to the gym 4x a week. Measurements 37-29-38 so a size 12. Height to waist ratio, cholesterol, blood pressure all healthy and my resting heart rate is 48. Currently losing 1lb a week on 5:2.

5 foot 4 and 94kg. Hate how I look but can’t seem to get a hold of myself since having a baby nearly 2 years ago. Feel disgusting and am revolted by how much I can eat.
Now feeling even bigger after seeing how overweight I am compared to everyone else on this thread.

You are not disgusting or revolting. You had a baby not long ago and no doubt have a busy life. Give yourself a break. In time you can work on it if you want to. But you are not disgusting, either way. 💐

Please don't be too hard on yourself. I used to be obese and never posted on these kind of threads because everyone else seemed very dainty compared to me and made me feel huge. But walking around I could see plenty of much larger people and I think statistically over 60% of adults are overweight or obese, which you definitely wouldn't think judging by the answers on here.
So I think it's one of those questions that people are more likely to answer if they're not overweight. Much like the questions about salaries and savings, everyone seems to be on 100k a year and no one works in Asda or is married to a bin man.

If you go on the weight loss topic and ask the same question you will get a much different set of responses.

Meggie2008 · 02/06/2024 21:13

I feel like only tiny people are going to answer this thread.
Anyway, I'm 5'10, and I'm 98kg, which I think is around 15 and a bit stone.
I'm a size 14 in tops and a 16 on bottoms

I was just thinking the same!

Tana433 · 03/06/2024 08:27

I am 5ft 2 and 10st. A year ago i was 14st 7 so happy with that although aiming to get nearer the 9st mark. I didnt realise M&S did vanity sizing though. I was thrilled to get into size 14 jeans but guess im still probably a 16 then, slightly disappointing!

I'm obese and I answered it!

MorrisZapp · 03/06/2024 08:44

I'm 5 foot 4 and 11 stone. I'm a stone too heavy but christ it's hard to shift after fifty. I can't cope with hunger at all.

CactusMactus · 03/06/2024 08:53

5.1" & 8.3 stone
trying to get back under 8 stone....

pepperaunt · 03/06/2024 08:58

I’m a not-so-happy 10 stone 7 at 5’4”. Ideally I’d like to lose a stone but have yet to find the willpower!

henlake7 · 03/06/2024 11:12

Im 5ft 5, 9st 13 and a size 8-12 (depending on the shop!).

Currently on a diet and aiming for 9st coz I have abit of arthritis and I think being on the lighter side might suit my joints better.
Although I was 17st a couple of years ago so although Im quite toned from exercise I have major loose skin issues....which really dont bother me, Id rather have a healthy body then a 'perfect' looking one!

AuntieMarys · 03/06/2024 11:15

6 feet tall, 12 St 8. Size 14.
Could lose a few lbs but at 65 I enjoy life too much. I'm fit and healthy

Claide · 03/06/2024 11:17

Im 5ft 6 and at my slimmest I was 9st 6.. and looked really thin, I defo couldn’t have gone any thinner without being unwell/gaunt looking.

currently 12st after having a baby but hoping to be closer to 10.5 with some hard work!

ImFckingMattDamon · 03/06/2024 11:22

I'm almost 5 ft 3 and am currently 8st9 which feels a little big on me, I prefer to be around 8st4. I know that I am not overweight but I don't carry weight well, it's currently on my face and tummy and I just look doughy and jowely. I am very delicate framed however so I don't have much leeway for weight gain.

Incognitomato · 03/06/2024 11:22

5ft 6in and 8 stone 9. Reasonably happy with my weight but I work really hard to keep slim thanks to a massive health event a year ago.
