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....

I would love to have your figure! I don't see it being possible I am massive compared to you. Too embarrassed to post a pic though.

TheCanyon · 25/01/2019 21:28

That made no sense eh? Missed a word or two there, Two years ago I started the meds and put on a stone.

TheZeppo · 25/01/2019 21:28

I think you look beautiful

Roominmyhouse · 25/01/2019 21:34

I’m 5ft5, 13 stone 7lbs (Blush) and a size 14-16.

Planning to get at least a stone off before summer which will make me a smaller 14.

UnderMajorDomoMinor · 25/01/2019 21:35

You look fine op.

I’m 5’5” and weigh somewhere between 10st 10 and 11st. I’m fit compared to most people I know and I don’t like tight clothes. I wear a 12 on bottom and 10-12 on top. I’m technically over weight but I don’t look it.

Blondebombsite83 · 25/01/2019 21:35

Weight is pretty irrelevant. People on here saying 11st and a size 14. I'm 14.5 st and a size 14 at 5ft 5. It's more about body composition. The last time I was anywhere near 10st I was a size 6.

RedTulip86 · 25/01/2019 21:47

58-60 kg. Size 10 bottoms and 12 top. After having kids my shape has definitely changed, double “hips” and ribcage wider than it used to be.

CurlyMango · 25/01/2019 22:16

Snowy days. Me to, same 12st.

AlmostAJillSandwich · 25/01/2019 22:21

29, and thanks to severe imobility from disability and food addiction, as of today 16 st 7lbs. Highest weight 17st 5 lbs, lowest, well, ive been over 13st since around age 13, always had weight/food issues.
Now 1 week into a 50lb weight loss ideal, i would love to be a size 12, could live with a 14. currently im an 18-20.

LoveBeingAMum555 · 25/01/2019 22:22

Interesting. 5ft 5 tall, 9 stone 10 and size 8. I do lift weights quite a bit but have a small frame so feel like I am about the right size and shape for me, although I would love to have more in the bust department!

Therighthonourable · 25/01/2019 22:26

5'4 and 7st 12lb. Size 6 in clothes in most stores apart from next as their sizing seems to be huge!!

I was 11st 6lb post baby and my bmi was at the larger side of overweight. It had to go! I didn't like the extra weight on my frame and I really couldn't afford a whole new wardrobe.

fitbciz1 · 25/01/2019 22:26

8st 10lb. Size 12.

@fitbciz1 how! How are you a size 12? Your almost a stone lighter than me i don't get it! Smile

Rtmhwales · 25/01/2019 22:43

7stone 2lbs

fitbciz1 · 25/01/2019 22:49

@Zara85 That would be my frankly epic shoulders and wide rib cage. No boobs or hips and a distinct lack of waist. I seem to have the skeleton of a larger person! To be fair I am sometimes a size 10 on the bottom. Anything that needs to accommodate the shoulders - definitely a 12.

yodafogey · 25/01/2019 22:54

Laundry probably getting stale. Hop to it! tick tock....
That'll get the lard orf...

mynameisMrG · 25/01/2019 22:56

I’m 5’5 and 14 stone size 18-20. I’m on sw to get down to 10.10. Was 9.12 at my smallest and it didn’t suit me. I’ve got wide hips and no bust so looked out of proportion.

Nat6999 · 25/01/2019 22:58

I'm 15 stone at the moment, I'm disabled & struggle to walk due to ME/CFS, Fibromyalgia & Arthritis. Before I became ill I was 10 stone 7. I don't eat half as much as I used to but some of the drugs I take list weight gain as a side effect.

HenweeArcher · 25/01/2019 23:00

62kg(ish) - Carry it mostly on my boobs and bum, am relatively athletic/muscular (sit at about 20% body fat), and comfortably fit in mostly size 8s. Under 58kg I start looking unwell.

Dermymc · 25/01/2019 23:02

11st 7 here and 14 bottom, 10-12 top
My hips and thighs are huge. I have a stupidly small waist in comparison. I'm soo out of proportion.

MujosMama · 25/01/2019 23:33

10.5 stone, size 10-12. I've not lost my mum tum from 18 months ago, probably because I haven't exercised in that time at all and love cake. I used to be 8.5 stone in my twenties. Been meaning to do something about it but had other things going on!

Lisabel · 25/01/2019 23:48

I'm almost 5ft 6 and 14st4, I felt quite slim at 10st 7.

Average weight for our height in the UK is about 11st.

You're very slim!

Lisabel · 25/01/2019 23:52

Oh and I'm a 16/18. I was a size 14 around the 12 stone mark and a size 10 at 10st 7.

I'd love to be 9st 7. 8st 13 is the bottom of the healthy BMI range for height!

Rodenhide · 26/01/2019 00:05

10.5 stone, at 5'6"
Naturally quite muscly, though, with broad shoulders and quite a big chest
Size 10/12 on bottom 12/14 on top
