V bored perma-breastfeeding, so hoping this will provide a lighthearted distraction.

You look amazing 12st seems normal for the toned physique you sport and the height you are. Who cares what these shitty media mags say about z list celebrities. I'd be proud of that figure.

I don't think Kim is 8 stone ... she regularly posts on her snapchat her weight when she's stood on the scales. Think she's more 9 stone and she's only 5 foot 3.

Weight means nothing.

Throw your scales away, and stop worrying about what other people weigh.

You look fit, strong and slim. 💪

GrumpyDullard · 05/06/2017 09:12

You had a baby two months ago??!!! Did I read that right? Now I hate you.

BeyondTheReasons · 05/06/2017 09:12

I saw a trainer at the gym and said to him - I want to be 8 stone.

He looked at me and said Hmm why?

Me: ... erm I'm not sure

Him: well what if you were suddenly that weight now and still looked the same. Why that be better?

Just use your measurements basically.

Robinkitty · 05/06/2017 09:14

I would say 10 stone as you are quite muscular.

Backt0Black · 05/06/2017 09:15

Thanks for all the nice comments BTW. I was going 'by eye' since having the baby and thought it was going 'ok' then I got on the scales and though 'hollllllllllllllllllllllllly f*ckkkkkkkkkkkkkkk'

nellie .... I'mm creased. Mine looks like Mo Farrah though..... he'll snap! I'm going to have to look at inventive ways to decrease heft in the event I'm in an emergency carrying situation.... hair, fingersnails, toenails, bellybutton fluff ....all removed at all times!

You look fab - stop weighing yourself!!

MargaretCavendish · 05/06/2017 09:17

I'm your height, OP, and although I'm a bit bigger now when I was slim the few times my weight came in up conversation people were just astonished at how heavy I was. I remember really disliking it as a teenager - all my friends were freaking out if they got near nine stone, while I was a good two and half stone heavier. It made me feel massive - not fat, just oversized! I like it now I am a bit chunkier, though, as tall and a bit overweight seems to 'read' slimmer to most people than short and a bit overweight.

UsefulEustace · 05/06/2017 09:17

I think your knees need a bit of moisturiser. Smile

Backt0Black · 05/06/2017 09:18

Respect to that trainer. In truth I wouldn't care too much if I weighed 17st but a healthy 'size'.... but I was genuinely floored by stepping on the scale and seeing the gulf between what came up and what the mags tell us is 'ok'

Yeah - little man is 2 months, I love the little horror

Muscle weighs more than fat and you look really toned and strong. And you are tall so it spreads the weight over a larger area. I'm 5'5" and 8st 9lbs whereas I used to be around 7st 5lbs and there is definitely no muscle anymore so the extra weight must all be fat/breastfeeding boobs. My friend who has 28GGs weighed them on a scale, I can't remember exactly how much they came to but it is shocking how much boobs weigh no wonder they give you a bad back! You could well have a stone in boob weight alone! You look sensational for having had a baby so recently. I'm 9 months down the line from having DD and haven't started exercising yet Blushyou've proved it's possible.

Supersoaryflappypigeon · 05/06/2017 09:18

Bloody hell you look incredible. EnvySmile

MrsExpo · 05/06/2017 09:18

Similar build to me but a bit taller. I weight a tad under 10 stone so going for 11 stone (ish). You're in great shape ....

BreezyBreeze · 05/06/2017 09:20

You look amazing.
Now stop fretting, chuck out the stupid scales and enjoy life.
Whatever you are doing works brilliantly

sparechange · 05/06/2017 09:20

You have incredible legs

RitaMills · 05/06/2017 09:20

Ignore the scales you look great, strong, healthy and athletic.

CodLiverOil556 · 05/06/2017 09:20

Just done your BMI and it comes in at 24 so not only do you look fab you're also right in the healthy weight category.

raspberrycordial · 05/06/2017 09:23

What size clothes are you in though? You are totally sculpted.

BitOutOfPractice · 05/06/2017 09:24

Fuck what you weigh you look amazing. Strong and fit and lean.

Congrats on the baby Thanks

grounddown · 05/06/2017 09:26

I'm your height and weight and I look nothing like you, tall and slim but wobbly where you are nice and toned - giving me inspiration.
I have no excuse as my last baby was 4 and a half years ago!
Congrat's on your little man
