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 pre-menopause I was comfortable at around 9st, these days I’m aiming for 9st7. Having said that, a few years ago my daughter, who is 5’2” weighed 10st and was a small size 10 so she was a full stone heavier than me, 2 inches shorter but we were both size 10, so it’s all relative to build/frame/muscle mass etc.

I'm 5ft5 and a size 10/12 at 10st10. I do strength train though so probably a bit leaner than some at that weight.

I think you probably need to work out what you mean by feel slim so you recognize it when you get there.

I feel slimmest after I get out of a swimming pool regardless of size and I feel heaviest when bloated at any weight.

At 5ft 6 I think my favourite look was between 10.5 and 11 stone, still meat on my bones and curves and my face didn't look too gaunt but technically thats the top end of healthy. I'm now closer to 16 so have a way to go to get back down.

It really depends on how much muscle I have on my body.
At my slimmest (8st 9lbs) I had zero muscle. I’d hate to look that scrawny now, considering I lift weights 5x a week.

I think 10st is a good weight for me, as long as I have a low body fat percentage and more muscle.

I was skinny at 8st6lbs and felt chunky at 10st2lbs. Ideal for me is about 9st - 9st2lbs.

I didn’t mind the skinny 8.5stone, it’s just not realistic I’ll get there again. Plus I’ve got rid of the clothes that fit at that weight!

I’m 5 foot 4 and feel slim at 9 st and acceptable at 9 and half stone. I’m currently much heavier and need to sort myself out.

I'm 5ft5 and 10st7 currently. Feeling much better than when I was 11st5 earlier in the year but I'd like to be 10st.

I'm 5ft 4 and 9 st 2lb was my natural weight for years before kids. I'd love to get back down there. I was eight and a half stone for a while but felt better a little bigger than that.

I'm 5ft 3 and apart from when I was 6.5 stone at age 16, my weight has always fluctuated.

The lightest I've been as an adult was about 9st12lb. I was eating very little. I think between 10.5st and 11st is a good and happy weight for me.

I don't know why but I have to eat so little to be under 10st at all. And I don't want to live my life like that!

5'5" and I felt best at 10.5 - size 10 jeans, good muscle tone and curves in all the right places. It's a distant dream now, however. I'm quite heavy boned in a broad shoulders type way.

I’ve been everything from 7.5 stone (looked scrawny and sick). Could eat what I wanted and not put on weight, saw G.P as felt awful.
8.5 stone and size 6/8.
9.5 stone (muscle mostly as going to the gym and using weights) size 8/10.
10 stone (felt the best, curvy and fit) Size 10.
Currently 12 stone - size 12 (massive boobs and ass) but out of breath at times.
Cutting out alcohol and snacks and want to get down to 10/10.5 stone.

I’m 5”5 and I would love to be 8stone10. I’m about 9stone4. I can get to about 9 stone but can’t seem to get any lower now. I’m 40 in a few days. Size 8.

I agree with this at 5'6" my goal weight is 11st which is the highest point the BMI calculator suggests - any less & I start to look gaunt & pointy.

If I weighed 8st3lb which is the lowest the BMI calculator suggests I'd look emaciated.

5'4" and felt slim at 57kg but I've never been able to maintain it without a massively restrictive diet (got down to that when I was a 'raw' vegan in 2017).

I think I could be happy and healthy at 60kg without disordered eating.
That's my aim at the moment anyway, no extreme diets, just eating three healthy meals a day.

I'm on my way back down from 67kg. Depression and binge eating will do that!

I’m 5’4 and my weight seems to stay at 9 st 12 whether I eat like a pig or barely at all. Even after having a baby I was exactly 9 stone 12 3 weeks later without consciously trying to lose weight (and I went up to 12.5 in pregnancy)

My ‘ideal’ weight is 8.5 stone but I’m beginning to think my body just really wants to be 9 stone 12 so why bother

I was under 8 stone for a time & I lost my period for months

What's your build OP?
What's your weight history? I mean, have you had years of being a healthy weight and put on a lot in a fairly short space of time, or have you always been heavier?

Are you exercising? How toned are you?

I'm mid 30's, 5ft6 and currently 11st 10 (which is quite heavy for me)
I'm a size 10-12 in clothing.
Aiming this year to get to 10-10.5 stone, which in the past has been my comfortable weight. If I end up losing too much in my face ,it may end up closer to 11st.

I’m 5 foot 5 and weigh 9.5 stone. Feel chubby at 10stone.

Find these threads fascinating - 10 - 10.5st feels slim to me. Anything under 10st is really skinny on me and isn't possible to sustain without lots of unhealthy restriction. Never been under 9.5st as an adult!

I’m 5’5 and used to feel slim at 9st but would be happy at 9st 7.
unfortunately I’m currently 10st 2

I'm 5'4, feel slim around 9.5 stone. Currently about 10.5 and a bit wobblier than I'd like, but I don't feel fat. I got briefly down to 8.5stone at one point years ago, felt very skinny, but wasn't sustainable for me.

Always been heavier, sort of 11/12st was my norm but sat at 18st for maybe 4 yrs

AmKnow 9st 6lbs

I think I need to do some weights and tone up.

I’m 5’4, in my menopausal 50s. Feel good at 10-10.5 stone

I'm 5"6' and feel/look my best at 9 stone

Honestly 8st/50kg ish. Have boobs and hips but small waist and not much muscle so above this it’s largely belly and love handles etc even at size 8/10
