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....

5 foot 3, so almost 5 foot 4. 7 stone 6lb and worrying about being overweight. I have very slender wrists and ankles, so anything else looks huge. I am bigger than people think (shop assistants etc assume I'm a size 6, but more like a 10-12 on my bottom half). Sad

SpeckledDot · 25/01/2019 20:46

Forgot to add: 8st 12lb and mainly size 8 dress size, but a 10 is sometimes good too. I have big hips and bum

@Zara85 I felt quite big at 10st 13, it was technically in the over weight category. Where do you shop? In Next at 9st 7, 8 is fine but some 10, fat face I'm a safe 10 with some 8s, 12 doesn't fit me anywhere I shop anymore, I have so many size 12 trousers that aren't wearable for me anymore. I find it fascinating how different people can carry weight, I'm slender but not toned, so when I was 10st13 it was fat not muscle at all!

JoeyJoeyJo · 25/01/2019 20:57

I'm currently 11st on the dot and a size 12. I've never in my whole adult life weighed less than 10st, when I'm 10st I'm between a 10 and a 12 in clothes.

All the other posters show such a range of weights and sizes for our height, just shows how we carry it so differently!

NotN0wBernard · 25/01/2019 21:03

9.5 stone at the moment. I was ill last summer for a few months and dropped down below 9 stone and looked horrendous. 9.5 stone seems to be my new happy place, only kept in check by running as I love my food.

Zara85 · 25/01/2019 21:06

Okay this may well get removed but sod it Grin this is me at 9st 9 and a size 10. No boobs, not since breastfeeding anyway! More like bags of air. Wide hips and very wobbly bum and thighs! Bad Cellulite on arms and legs. Aiming to he 9st 3 ish for summer hols so another half stone to go

7 st 10. But I have a very narrow frame, my feet are a size 3

To be honest that’s carrying some belly fat too, I could probably do with loosing a few pounds to tone it up.

Zara85 · 25/01/2019 21:08

Try again...

I'm the same stats as you, op, exactly the same.

You look great to me.

halfwitpicker · 25/01/2019 21:10

I'm smaller hipped and bigger boobed that you though. My arms are bigger too.

SweetbutAPsycho · 25/01/2019 21:12

I'm 5ft5 and about 11.9 stone. I'm a 14 top (36E boobs) and 12 bottom. Definitely need to loose weight but I 'carry' it well and look deceptively healthy

alltheusernames · 25/01/2019 21:13

You've got a beautiful figure OP, shapely in the right places! I have love handles on my hips that I hate. My weight seems to go there if I put some on.

alltheusernames · 25/01/2019 21:14

You've got a lovely nipped in waist, and a smooth line from your hip to your thigh, I go out at the hip, then in and the out again which doesn't look great!

RCohle · 25/01/2019 21:14

10 stone. I prefer to be 9!

LikeACowsOpinion · 25/01/2019 21:16

I'm 5ft 2 and weigh 6.5 stone.
Size 0

mcmooberry · 25/01/2019 21:17

57kg for me too although I might be nearer 5 foot 4 and a half as I'm shrinking.

EustaciaVye · 25/01/2019 21:19

Would love to have that waist. I am inverse triangle. About 9stone 3 and a size 10

TheBreastmilksOnMe · 25/01/2019 21:19

I’m 5ft 5.5 and weigh between 9st 9 and 10st 3. I fit into size 10-12 clothes and I’m very happy overall with my weight.

CloudsCloudsClouds · 25/01/2019 21:20

8st 4lbs, size 8 / XS. Slightly underweight I think, struggle to wear skirts and dresses without looking shapeless. I was 10st 4lbs at my heaviest and probably looked best between 9st - 9st 7lbs. I also lost a bra size going back down to 8st, from 32DD/E to 32D.

Octopus37 · 25/01/2019 21:22

9st2 at the moment, don't feel great. Size 10-12. Quite small boned with size 7 feet which is a wierd contradiction. I did get down to 8st10 in the Autumn, would like to get there again but can not get in the diet frame of mind at the moment.

DrinkFeckArseGirls · 25/01/2019 21:22

57kg

Fluffypot333 · 25/01/2019 21:24

5 foot 6 and eight and a half stone

GimmeBread · 25/01/2019 21:24

Well I'm 5' 4" and I'm currently 12st 2lb - bit of a chubster really. Ive had a really bad year health wise and had to drastically alter my diet and I cannot shift from this weight.

2 years ago I was 10st 8lb and I'd like to be there again but, fuck me, it's so hard 😢😢

GimmeBread · 25/01/2019 21:25

@MrsGrindah - I can't let myself go below 10st 4lb or I look ill. 10 8 is ideal for me but I'm a curvy girl anyway.

Super curvy right now 🤨

TheCanyon · 25/01/2019 21:26

@Zara85 you look perfect as you are!!! Those hips are magic, not like mine, I have saddlebags I believe they're called? I think.

My usual weight is between 8st3 and 8st7.I'm going between 7st13 and 8st 1. I actually look like shit I think atm. I was very sick in oct and went down to 7 stone then when better I ate shit loads so put it on fast. But when i started my meds I went from 8stone3 to 9 stone 3, I felt horrendous.

I wear a 6 on top and an 8 on bottom. Im much like you, have wide shoulders, little waist, big hips... except my hips are in and out like a beast Grin
