Taller mumsnetters: To ask, if you are 5 foot 7 - 11, what weight you are/are happy at?

[Reasonsnottobeanidiot]

I've gained a bit of weight over lockdown. I'm normally very slim, but I am finding it difficult to know where I stand with my new weight as none friends of my friends are taller than 5 foot 6. I'm finding it difficult to read group chats of friends who have gained but are still weighing less than I was previously. I think I was too slim before but that has clouded my judgement of what is normal and I am worrying about my gain as I'm not used to seeing myself like this, so I'd like a bit of perspective and to see what feels healthy and good for other women.

If you are a lady 5 foot 7 to 5 foot 11 (or taller!), I'd love to know the weights you are comfortable at. I'm 5 foot 10 FYI.

I'm 5'7"

Really happy weight is 9 stone 4

Comfortable weight is 9 stone 11

Current weight is 10 stone 7 and for me feels uncomfortable

Background of ED and lowest weight 7 stone. Previous 'happy weight' was 8 stone 7 so this is all progress for me

I’m really happy with current weight - been on a fitness drive in lockdown and I weigh 74kg

12 stone. 5 ft 9.

I am happy with my weight. I look very sexy.

I'm 5ft 7".

Really happy at 11 stone as then a 12-14
Happy at 11st 7lbs as a 14

Thanks to lockdown am niw 12st 4lbs and a size 16 and not happy.

Would love to be 10st 7lbs and a size 12 but 2 kids and approaching middle age and just gave up on that a long time ago....

I’m 5ft 8 and my ideal is 10 and a half stone. I seem to sit more around 10 10. Size 10/12. Bmi 22. I personally wouldn’t want to be lower as it wouldn’t suit my frame - big wrists, hands and size 8 feet.

I’m 5’10” and I think I’m just over 13 stone at the moment. I feel heavy and paunchy and I know that I looked better when I was just under 12 stone, about four years ago. But I was much more toned then too, so it wasn’t all about weight.

5ft7 (and a half). 9 stone is my usual weight and I’m happy with that.

Forgot to include that I’m size 14-16 (depending on shop) at the moment. I was a 12 four years ago.

5ft 9 - happy around 10st 7 IBS. I'm 12st 7 Ibs ATM and between size 12-14. Getting ready to shift some timber!

12st, 5'9", very happy & comfortable with it.

I'm 5'10. My happy weight in my younger days was 10 stone 4. I'm in my 50s now and I'm comfortable at 11 stone. Sadly I'm a bit more than that post lockdown, but I'm working on it.

5’7.5 and am at my heaviest ever, weighing 9 stone 2. I’ve been lifting heavy weights, so that’s part of it, but I’m just naturally filling out now that I’m 43.

I was 8 stone for years, and looking back at old photographs I appear way too thin.

5’9 and I like myself best at 12-13st. I look a bit haggard any lighter than that because I have a large frame (broad shoulders/wide hips). Currently significantly over that, thanks to COVID!

I also have whopping size 8 flippers so I won’t blow over in a strong gust! 😂

I'm 5'8. My ideal weight is 10 stone, I look best at that but my body prefers 11 1/2, which puts me at a size 12. My current weight is 13 1/2, size 16 - I'm flabby with a fat face and look awful, so aiming for 2 stone off asap.

I'm 6'2 and about 13st7 and a size 14 at the mo . I've put on a stone over lockdown and I feel like absolute shit. I knew it get back to 12st7/size 12 pronto, but I cannot get out of the funk I'm in at the mo

5'8" and currently 10st 10lbs. For me personally I'd like to be at about 10st or just under. I think the lightest I've ever been was 9st 4lbs and I do miss how slim and shapely my legs looked then 😭😭 but that weight just requires too much effort for me tbh. I can still fit into size 8-10 clothes at my current weight.

I'm 5'10 and my best fighting weight is about 68 -70kg. Lowest I've ever been was I think 58kg and it was absolutely awful! I was skeletal and absolutely ill. But 70kg is good for me. I've got some decent muscle on me - not at all gamine!

Currently bouncing around a flabby 75kg and not happy about it. Lockdown has not been kind to my health either. I want to go swimming!

5'11 and I look and feel my best at 11.5 stone which is a size 12.

Around 70kg (11 stone) is my usual weight. I think I am best around 65-67kg (10 stone, 6lbs ish). But according to calculators my ideal weight is 63kg (so 10 stone).

5'7

I'm 5'7" and happy and healthy at 11 stone (size 12) after 3 kids. Easier to buy flattering clothes when I'm about 10stone 11 but it's quite a lot of effort to maintain that weight for me and makes me miserable lol.

5ft 9in. Best at 9st 9lb to 10st. Currently 11st 7lb and clothes feel uncomfortable and ill fitting.
I was 8st 4lb at my lightest over one summer when I was suffering a grumbling appendix. Everyone told me looked fab weirdly.

5’7. A year ago pre-baby I was 57kg. I was 70kg at 9 months’ pregnant and now, breastfeeding a 3-month-old I’m 54kg.

I’m 5’7 and my comfortable weight is 10st 4lb.

I have a big frame though, so anything less makes me look at bit gaunt. Still a size 14 due to wide hips. I remember being gutted as a teenager at 8st 7lbs and still fitting a size 14 on my bottom half because of it.... ah, the problems of teenagers 😂
