I know super personal but just out of interest.

I’m 5,4 and 13.5 stone- size 14 ish. I’ve just had a baby so losing weight slowly, aiming for 11stone. Which would be the higher end of my bmi, however I feel like I’m too thin and it’s not sustainable any lower even though I’m short..

@oxoxoxoxo I agree everyone is different bmi is rubbish! I told a PT the other day I had under two stone to goal, she looked at me and said "really, you look like your at goal!" But I still want to get to the bmi goal 😒. We shouldn't compare to others though this post has shown! I happily share pictures of my over 11 stone 5ft body!

5' 3" , comfortably 10.5 stone (about 11 immediately after Christmas! Once went down to 10 but felt like I was constantly starving!). Size 14 on the top, 12 on the bottom.

5 ft 6, 9 stone, size 8/10
Ideal weight would be 8 and a half stone which I can be when I do some exercise !

5'6", 15 stone, size 20

@timetogetmeback if your PT thinks you're good then you should probably ignore your weight! Plus if you're size 8-10, any smaller you would be unhealthy I should think. I'm an 8 on my bottom half and a 10-12 on the top (but big belly in the middle....Grin).

But as I said, I think most people do really know. I would say you either have big/heavy bones (that so-called myth) or loads of muscle, but one thing I'm sure of, you must look far better than me in a bikini.....[smile}

I'm 5'3 tall, 10 stone 10. Have lost half a stone since Jan, would like to be around 10 stone.

I take a size 14 top and size 16 bottom - I have narrow shoulders and fairly small boobs and was a definite pear shape when I was younger but have now developed back fat and a huge belly. I'm a classic example of fat taking up more space than muscle . Along with losing weight I'd like to tone up a
Bit, I've started doing Pilates and hoping that will help. I'm 56 and I agree that age is relevant.
