Totally superficial I know but I think she looks absolutely fantastic.

The secret is to eat healthily, exercise and not snack all the time

I know lots of women who do these things. They're slim but there nowhere near as thin as Kate.

I'm 5ft 2, 7 stone and a size 0 (00 in jeans - 23inch waist). I don't have to work hard at it

I'm the same height as you. The lowest my weight got down to was 9 stone. To remain at this weight, I ate one small meal a day..

We're all different.

@formerbabe if you are in london get yourself here in august to watch the show jumping.
The majority of women here both watching and competing will be as small or smaller than DoC.

For all those that say would you say that someone is too fat. Yes the GC that the daily fail loves so much and run headlines saying she has slimmed down looks like she is endangering her health with the amount of weight she is carrying. Also someone in the public eye but evidently does not care about what people think of her figure.

@formerbabe

You seem to have a real problem with slim people who don’t have to work hard at it

But then I read that you used to it 7-10 cardio classes a week and it didn’t make any difference. Bloody hell, you have not been blessed! Explains your stance.

As for not believing those saying skinner. This is me. 5’7 and 7 stone 5/6

''I'm 5ft 2, 7 stone and a size 0 (00 in jeans - 23inch waist). I don't have to work hard at it''

That is not the norm. I am the same height and when I was working out 5 days a week (proper workouts) as well as watching every morsel I ate and hardly drinking a drop of alcohol I never went under 8 stone or got my waist under 28.

People were always telling me I hadn't a pick on me though so I didn't feel like I wasn't slim, but my shape, omg, I never got near a 23 inch waist. NOWHERE near it!

31RueCambon · 14/07/2019 19:29

Nobody is disbelieving anybody are they?!

But obviously what makes one person slim will leave another person fat.

Genuinely find the posters who say they're as thin as her or even thinner than her absolutely hilarious. I'd love to see a photo of them because I highly doubt they are.

CaravanHero · 14/07/2019 19:35

I’d say she eats very little and exercises a lot.

It’s not her ‘natural’ frame or weight by a long shot - you only have to google older pictures of her. Always slim but never ‘skinny’.

She’s skinny now and I don’t think it looks well on her at all.

31RueCambon · 14/07/2019 19:35

Well, In formerbabe's defence, nobody has posted a picture of a body that looks anything like as toned or as proportioned as Kates.

I dunno, obviously exercise and watching what you eat will make you NOT BE FAT but there's more to it than that. Kate's body is not within everybody's reach.

Lifeover · 14/07/2019 19:39

Most of itt is down to genes I suspect. Prob eat v small portions of meals devised by a nutritionist designed to keep v thin. Prob spend hours doing cardio.

formerbabe · 14/07/2019 19:40

I think a lot of posters on here get very upset that not all women hate themselves and their bodies.

RedDogsBeg · 14/07/2019 19:45

The 'secret' isn't to have an army of servants or a PT.
The secret is to eat healthily, exercise and not snack all the time. Perfectly reasonable goals.

But I eat a reasonable amount of good food and stop eating when I'm full.

Being slim is nowhere near as unobtainable or undesirable as it's made out to be

Very true Holy but people refuse to accept that and make every excuse under the sun whilst making disparaging remarks about people who are slim as if people who are slim and happy with their weight and way they look are doing so purely to upset or shame those who aren't.

Kate is clearly happy at the weight she is, what impact does her weight and shape have on those who are pulling her to shreds? Kate is not too thin for Kate, she is not too thin to carry out the duties she is expected to do. There have been some disgusting and thoroughly nasty posts about her on this thread, none of which would have been deemed acceptable or tolerated if they had been directed at someone overweight.

Bitter, much?

obviously you need to start with the same body type. Some women have more boobs and butt than others. It doesn't make Kate a unique example. She does have amazing legs, that some models could be jealous of.

Not everyone wants to be Kate either. Some people prefer to be more toned.

@SemperIdem Thank you! Running 😃

RedDogsBeg · 14/07/2019 19:57

From the poster who referred to the DoC and other women of a similar size as looking like famine victims. Ever crossed your mind formerbabe that slim women are perfectly happy with their size and weight? The hatred towards them is not from themselves but people like you.

Silversun83 · 14/07/2019 19:58

I definitely think genes play a big part but I also think she does probably work at it ie eats vey cleanly and does regular cardio plus toning.

I'm not quite as thin but I have been in the past (around 7 stone at 5'4) - I definitely was very obsessive about food/exercise to get to that point - in hindsight I would diagnose myself with orthorexia.

However: I do also have good genes and a fast metabolism - I am definitely not bothered about what I eat now but I am still only just over 8 stone - and that is mainly just running around after a 3 and 1-year old. (Apart from pregnancy, my heaviest weight was only 9.5 stones and that was as a fresher literally often consuming my calorie allowance in alcohol alone PLUS vast quantities of food - it only took about a month of exercising, reducing alcohol and eating properly to lose a stone of that).

And as Kate did, despite being small myself, I still had 8 and half lbs babies!

Teateaandmoretea · 14/07/2019 20:00

It's bollocks that the camera adds 10 lbs. Only fat people think that.

I agree, if you are v slim it can have the opposite effect.

Leaving the thread having seen those legs in a swimming costume 😂.

formerbabe · 14/07/2019 20:01

I didn't say that about Kate. I was talking about celebrities in general and how the glam detracts from how incredibly unwell lots of them look.

Ever crossed your mind formerbabe that slim women are perfectly happy with their size and weight?

I never said they weren't. Where did you get that from?

The hatred towards them is not from themselves but people like you

Nope, don't hate them.

I just don't think anyone who isn't stick thin is a fat, greedy bitch.

Nor do I think the thinner the better, like a lot of posters seem to.

PurpleDaisies · 14/07/2019 20:03

Kate is clearly happy at the weight she is

How can you possible know that?

Teateaandmoretea · 14/07/2019 20:04

That is not the norm. I am the same height and when I was working out 5 days a week (proper workouts) as well as watching every morsel I ate and hardly drinking a drop of alcohol I never went under 8 stone or got my waist under 28.

Why do you assume you are the norm?

TartanTexan · 14/07/2019 20:05

Cameras don’t generally add weight / but TV cameras can for some reason, something to do with the way things are shot etc.
