I'm just curious (nosey).
My starting weight in August was 10st 11, I am now 9st 9 and back in size 10.
But I feel like I still have a long way to go! Trying to figure out what's the average kind of weight for this height....

60kg

JellycatElfie · 25/01/2019 20:01

I weigh 63kg and was 65kg pre pregnancy now 9 wks post partum but I feel horrible. I think it’s not so much about weight rather shape and where you carry weight.

I used to be 8st 10 when I got married a few years back. 2 kids in 2 years destroyed me!

10 stone on the dot. I'm 7 months pp though, once I stop breastfeeding in 5 months I'll start trying to shift half a stone

Karwomannghia · 25/01/2019 20:03

10 st size 12 but can get in 10s. Much prefer being 9 st 8-10.

surferjet · 25/01/2019 20:03

11 stone < fatty >

goodolddaze · 25/01/2019 20:04

8-10

Kindofnewtothis · 25/01/2019 20:05

11st5 yet I'm a size 12? Doesn't seem right when comparing to all of you. Then again I have no boobs or bum so maybe that makes me fit into a smaller size. Either way I'm overweight and am currently dieting.

AmIRightOrAMeringue · 25/01/2019 20:05

62 kilos. I need to shift the last 3 to get down to prevent pregnancy weight. Feels impossible though!!

AmIRightOrAMeringue · 25/01/2019 20:06

Oh and I'm a 12. I've got v wide hips but everywhere else is ok

SoyDora · 25/01/2019 20:06

When I’ve not just given birth (currently 2 weeks PP) 9 stone 4lbs is my ‘fighting weight’.

MrsGrindah · 25/01/2019 20:07

This is what frustrates me about weight.im 5ft 4 and look way too thin at 10st or under! Yet apparently that’s at the top end of what I should weigh!

SoyDora · 25/01/2019 20:07

Oh and I’m a clothes size 10.

1Bobbinwinder · 25/01/2019 20:07

9st 7. I'm quite muscly and pear shaped so people always think I'm slimmer than I am. I think I look pretty good!

MrsJamin · 25/01/2019 20:07

Using a weight as an indicator of health isn't a great idea when you get to size 10, I'd give up using the scales altogether. I've changed shape in the last 18 months, physically slimmed down but weigh the same as I've put on muscle but lost fat. How do you feel? What do you feel like when you look in the mirror? Do you feel strong and healthy?

Whatelsecouldibecalled · 25/01/2019 20:09

I’m 10st 11 and wear size 10 clothes. 🤷‍♀️

Snowydaysaregreat · 25/01/2019 20:09

12 stone.. Size 14.. Hate it, currently trying to eat less junk.. Have awful sweet tooth. Day 3 it's killing me.
I've always been plumper. A few yrs ago anxiety triggered an eating issue and dropped from 13 St to 10 in a few months.. Everyone said I looked ill.

Aiming for 11st.

Zoflorabore · 25/01/2019 20:09

Well after reading the previous responses I'm not going to give my answer but it's a million miles away from these Grin

Funnily enough, i started SW today and am glad I have.

Popskipiekin · 25/01/2019 20:09

57kg. I was 62 pre pregnancy, but sadly that was also when I had boobs. Bye bye, boobs Sad. I prob fluctuate up to 2kg or so at certain times of month. I’d look rubbish at under 55kg I reckon, but I expect 55-65 would do me fine.

inthekitchensink · 25/01/2019 20:13

56kg as a 20 year old, 60kg as a 30 year old, 85kg post partum 😂 Slowly back to somewhere around 65kg but happiest at 62kg or below. Hourglass with big boobs & the weight carries horribly around my stomach

Momo18 · 25/01/2019 20:14

13st, lost 8,lb so far, I used to be10st before pregnancy and a year of stuffing my face after. Hoping to get back to 10st :)

DONTPICKTHEMILKSPOTS · 25/01/2019 20:15

11st 6lb, size 14-16 having just had a baby 5 weeks ago.

I'm usually 9st 12lb
