To have a goal weight of 8 stone

[Skyfullofstars70]

I'm currently 11 stone and 5'4.

I'm 5ft 4.5 and a size 10 at 10 stone 7lbs. My hips show and my wrists look very skinny. I can't imagine being 2.5 stone lighter - I was just shy of 10 stone as a slim active 17 year old.

Forgot to say im 5feet7

Why, OP? You haven't given us much to go on.

I'm 5'4" and weigh 7st 8lb. My GP doesn't have a problem with my weight. At my lightest I was 7st 4lb. My periods have never stopped and I conceived once on the pill and once in the first month.

Depends on your frame I guess but I'm 5'3" and when I was just over 8st that was considered low enough to be classed as anorexic.

Obviously I had other disordered eating symptoms, I'm not saying being that weight and height makes you anorexic but it does suggest it is quite small.

You don't need to be small to have an eating disorder or be diagnosed with one.

I'm 5ft 2, and used to weigh just under 8st pre-DC. I wasn't too slim, just petite.

I'm same height. Pre baby I was probably 8.9 and slim as a size 10. That's my aim to get back to that

i wouldn't be able for it. I'm 5'2"and even when I was watching what I ate so carefully it was in the same ball park (but not quite) as an eating disorder, exercising like a maniac I was 8 stone 10. I'd happily take that body back now! but as jillian would say, it ain't coming for free.

body shapes differ so wildly though, for some people, that could be there never get off the sofa, no idea what they've eaten this week weight. and they will wonder why it's not achievable for you too. So don't compare yourself.

I am 5ft 2.

I weighed 8 st at one point and looked very very tiny and skinny. My mum at 5ft 2 weighed 8 stone and looked curvy and not too skinny at all.

So all depends doesn't it.

I went from 13 stone to 8 stone. Not sure what I am now. Heavier than 8 stone but not by much.

Do you own any soft toys?

I'm 5' 2". I was 7 and a half stone forever until having DS last year.

I was healthy, curvy and happy thanks. (And yes it is a healthy BMI).

I think it depends on whether you've been that weight as an adult and been able to maintain it. By average standards, 8 stone is very slim. I'm 5"3 and 8 and a half stone, I'm young with no children and still struggle to maintain this weight. If you exercise a lot and are very strict with your diet then it might be possible but you might struggle to maintain it. I'd aim for 9 stone first and see how you feel.

I am very tiny built but I got told I looked too skinny and 'kid like' at 8 stone perhaps it was because it was such a difference to my 13 stone and people have skewed perceptions of what a healthy weight looks like. I wasn't curvy but I am just not built to be at any weight.

I was shocked by the amount of people who thought it was ok to tell me I looked like a little skinny girl!

I agree that it can be a very hard weight to maintain unless you are very active. I personally found the amount of calories I had to eat to maintain it was very restrictive. But I am not a very active person.

I am 5' 6 and weigh 8 stone. I am trying to gain at least another half stone as I look really skinny. better than when I was 7.5 stone

My goal weight is 8 stone and I'm 5.2. Before kids I weighed 7 and a half stone so in my opinion 8 stone for a 5.4 person is reasonable. Very slim but not skinny.

I am 5' 7.5 and weighed 8.5 stone when I was in my 20s.

I would love to be that slim now but it seems unattainable (sadly). I think I would really have to starve myself and give up wine.

8 stone is very small. I'm 5'3" and 8st7lb, and I'm a size 8 to 10. I'm small enough and very happy with the way I look. At 8 stone, I think I'd start to look unwell, or at best wizened.

YANBU.

That's my weight and height and I'm not underweight, I'm strong and healthy.

That's my normal weight and height. Currently 8'8 having given birth 12 weeks ago and not trying to lose the extra weight at the moment as breastfeeding but will get back to my prepreg weight. It's not underweight and I've conceived 2 children first month of trying in my late 30's.

Why have people commented just to say they don't give a fuck??

8 stone at 5;4 is fine.

I've no idea if YABU or not as you haven't said how tall you are.
