I've always been skinny / slim but after 2 kids I've suddenly realised I'm not any more following a run in with the scales at the doctors surgery Confused.

I think I have a rare form of body dismorphia where I think I'm skinnier than I am Grin. No idea what size etc I am now. I'm 5ft 8 and 11st 4lb. I have previously always been around the 9.5 stone mark.

Finding it difficult to lose the baby weight after #2 as there is NO TIME! Any tips?

5ft 6" and 11st 8lbs.

Size 14 most places, but then I don't shop where the young 'uns do anymore!

Queenofthedrivensnow · 22/01/2019 22:01

I'm 9st 2. I'm a size 6-8. I'm 5' 4

Except in h and m in a fecking 10-12!!

stopfuckingshoutingatme · 22/01/2019 22:04

5.7
10.5 stone targeting 10

As I have sadly realised the ONLY way to lose weight is to eat significantly less

Way way less Grin

And bid farewell to all the things you like

AllTheUserNamesAreTaken · 22/01/2019 22:16

I’m 5’4” and currently weigh 10 stone 12 and am a size 12/14

I am trying to get back down to 10 st 3 as this leaves me looking slim (as I’m a medium frame with broad shoulders).

JustDanceAddict · 22/01/2019 22:17

I’m 5ft4 and around 8st7.

JustDanceAddict · 22/01/2019 22:18

Size 12 generally (10 on top).

Tobermory · 22/01/2019 22:27

I’m looking with interest at all the tall people on this thread

I’m 6ft. Weigh 12st 8 ( lost 2.2 stone since end of August) and wearing a size 14 which are feeling comfy and maybe a little baggy? I have one pair of size 12 jeans... and now I can wear them and do them up!!!! Grin I certainly couldn’t a Few months ago.
I’m broad of back and hips so don’t imagine I’ll ever go below a 12. My vague plan is to lose another half stone and see how it looks!

NCjustforthisthread · 22/01/2019 22:36

ghostyslovesheets · 22/01/2019 22:44

small - lots

London91 · 22/01/2019 22:44

I'm 5'3 a size 12 and currently weigh 10st 12. I was a size 16 and 14st this time last year. My aim is to get somewhere in between 9st and 9st 7 depending on how I feel. I accept I'm never going to be skinny.

Savenya · 22/01/2019 22:46

5 5 9st 9 size 10-12

Happydowninthemouth · 22/01/2019 22:46

5 foot 1. 9.5 stone. On slimming world to get back to my usual 8 stone 4 where I’m happiest.

Happydowninthemouth · 22/01/2019 22:48

Sorry. Meant to add. Currently size 12. Want to get back to size 10

Cafeaulait27 · 22/01/2019 22:53

I think a lot of weight goes on boobs. I’m 5 foot 8 and currently weigh nearly 10 stone stone, but my normal weight is around 8.10. The last few years I’ve been snacking a lot at my desk at work because I’m bored, but I’m trying to get out of that habit now. I have small boobs (b cup). A girl I work with is the same height as me and goes to the gym 5 times a week, and is a size 8 but with bigger boobs. ( I know right) At her lightest she was 9.7 stone. But she’s thinner than me!

I think everyone is built differently so weight varies a lot.

FatandSassy · 22/01/2019 22:56

Confused everyone here is so dinky!

I'm common as muck, 36, 6 kids and 5'7". 20st 3lb... quite rotund and a size 24-26.

I am attempting to mostly get the weight off this year but at my skinniest (4 kids and 15 years ago) I weighed 14st and was a skinny size 18.

Sophisticatedsarcasm · 22/01/2019 22:57

5’6 and I’m overweight, 18 st to be exact, I hardly eat and do a lot of exercise, yet I never lose any. I don’t care what others think, I know mine is due to tablets I take for my thyroid. It’s been like this since I was young. I did lose weight briefly last year due to a stomach issue other than that it stays around 18. I’m size 18 waist but size 24 top thanks to my boobs 😂

MrsElbadrama · 22/01/2019 23:02

I'm 5ft 7, 15.5st and a size 18. Gained weight (around 3st) quite quickly 5 years ago and it's never shifted since, it doesn't go up either. I'm happy and grateful for my health and hourglass shape and if someone could give me a magic pill to drop 3st I'd take it but otherwise I can't be arsed 😂

BoswellsBollocks · 22/01/2019 23:07

I’m 5’3
Weigh 12st 4lb ish
I’m a size 14

ladybee28 · 22/01/2019 23:08

5ft 4 and 8.5 stone. Size 10 on the bottom, 8 on the top.

I'm a part-time acrobat so my body's pretty lean –one day I'm going to have to stop flinging myself about like this and I'm fascinated to see what that then does to my figure and the way I eat!!

Nothininmenoggin · 22/01/2019 23:09

Past caring reallyGrin

Slamadramafamalam · 22/01/2019 23:11

5'5, 9 st 4, size 10, age 52. I gained over a stone in a year but losing it now, on my way back to 9 stone with HIIT. Lost inches off my waist too and not currently an apple shape but I do still have a layer of soft fat and extra on my belly which is made prominent by an overhang from a c-section.

tor8181 · 22/01/2019 23:18

stopgap · 22/01/2019 23:18

I’m 5’7.5 and 124 pounds. I’m a US Size 4. I’m very athletic and love sports and working out.

Japanesejazz · 22/01/2019 23:20

5 8 weigh 10 stone, size 10, I eat whatever I want and don’t go to the gym. I do have 2 horses and 2 dogs to exercise though. I remember being devastated at being 10 stone when I was 6 months pregnant, she is 18 now, dropped back to 8 stone 12 when I was breastfeeding, my dress size has not changed but I’m much more muscular now

Epanoui · 22/01/2019 23:39

This is genuinely nuts. Anyone who is 17 stone is fat unless they are some kind of super-muscled athlete.

These threads always have some people who go 'I weigh 7 stone and am a bit tubby' and some who are all 'I'm 14 stone but not fat at all'.

Both are almost certainly deluded.
