If you're 5ft5 at what weight do you feel slim?

[Mifiee]

Am coming to the end of a long weightloss journey and have come further than I originally thought I would and still don't feel quite satisfied.

I'm wondering if I have a warped sense of slim due to the fact I was close to 250lbs for many years.

So I am asking the question above to gauge :)

I'm 5,4 and I feel good (not thin) at 10 st but think i'd be perfect at 9st 7.

I have to say that I've only ever made it to 9st 13 for two weeks of my adult life 😂

I'm 5'5 and currently feel heavy at 9st. I'm most confident at 8st 10

10st felt good, with some toning up needed.

I'm 5'4 and have a goal weight bracket in mind of 10st to 9st7. Having been obese at 15st5 and currently overweight at 12st4, I have a long way to go.

this being mumsnet, you're about to get replies saying they feel best at 7.5 stones

About 8 and a half stone

I imagine it depends on where you hold your weight and how muscular you are. I'm a fat hourglass and don't want to lose all my curves.

Up to 9 stone 4 I feel slim.
Unfortunately I'm 10 stone at the moment!

I'm 9st 4 and wouldn't say I feel slim but feel at the right sort of weight. I've still got a tummy and would probably have to lose half a stone to get rid of that but think then I may look facially gaunt. Also I would have to be so restrictive in terms of what I could eat. Whereas at my current weight, as long as I remain very active I never feel like I'm on a diet

10 stone. I set myself a target initially of around 13 stone, not sure why I did that possibly because I couldnt envisage being slim or a healthy BMI, thought 'thats not for me', that is because there is a fear of success

Im more than that at the moment having put on some xmas lbs and they will be coming straight back off again over coming months.

I really notice a difference now of 5 or 6lbs, it makes a difference to how my stomach feels and my clothese feel.

Completely depends what your body composition is. I'm 5ft 4 or 5 and I weigh 9 stone 7. I'm very muscly so and between a size 6 and 8. Others would be bigger clothes size at that weight.

I’m 5 ft 4 and currently around 8 stone 12 . Which is ok but I would feel slim if I was 3-4lbs lighter. Seems to make a big difference.
But I do think it depends on your shape . I have short heavy legs which I think can make me look “dumpier” at certain weights than people with slimmer legs would look.

This.

i felt fat at 8.5 st but that’s because i was in the firm grip of an eating disorder.

i have never felt slim.

but you will get people on here saying they have wobbly bits at 7st, or a tummy at 8.

it is very hard to be objective about your own size. I now go by whether my clothes fit rather than what the mirror tells me.

5'5 and I feel slim under 53 kg.

I'm an inch taller than that and 8 stone 3 which I'm happy with.

9st 7 I feel good, but that may be because it's the lightest I ever get to. Nowhere close at the moment.

I am 9st 7 and I feel ok at this weight. My shape has changed over the years after 3 pregnancies and the menopause. I used to be below 9st and was happy with that but people told me I looked too thin as I got older. I probably do look healthier at the weight I am now.

I’m only 5’ 3 and I’ve got a relatively big frame. I feel I can do 10st if I must 91/2 I’m not trying to cover bits of me and 8’ 12” I’m living my best life but the skin on my boobs makes me want to cry.

I'm about that, feel fine anything under 9st 9, have to be around 9 to feel slim. I think it depends on your shape, I look lighter than I am as my legs carry more weight than my upper body. Even when I've been about 8 and a half my calves were not remotely slim but did look a bit less chunky I suppose!

At around 59 to 61 kilo to be slim
But to be normal. Like healthy abd noway near overweight can I am perfectly OK at 63.5

9 stone 4 is my perfect weight. A comfortable size 10, even an 8 in some shops. I'd love to be that again.

Thankyou, really interesting to read!

This hasn't happened

I'm 5ft6 so a little taller but I am looking my best just over 9stone, right now I'm closer to 10 so I'm hoping to lose a few pounds over the next few months!

I'm 6'7" and feel slim at 6st and morbidly obese at 6st4lb
