Happy

I would like to be heavier. I need to put a bit of weight on following some issues that have made me lose weight.

But even when I'm at my normal weight I would like to be heavier. I'm naturally very narrow and lanky, I always wanted to be curvier.

I’m fairly happy. I recently lost weight - am still at the upper end of healthy range for my height but like being curvy (have always been) and love food. I can wear clothes I like. Would like to do more exercise/yoga though for general well-being.

I need to lose somewhere between 6 and 8 stone so I would say very, very, very unhappy with my weight. However happier than when I had 9 to 11 stone to lose so it is getting better, just slowly.

I'm not happy with my weight at all. I've been overweight for many years, but at a weight that I was happy with, and also fairly physically fit. However, the past 5 years I've piled more weight and I feel and look awful. I'm trying to get the weight off and get fitter, but its so hard!

SecretWitch · 20/09/2020 16:52

I will never be happy with my weight. A life time of disorder eating and terrible body image will do that to you.

fairydustandpixies · 20/09/2020 16:52

6st over weight here. Was 5st then 15st then 10st, then 18st, now 16st. I'm 5'7. This is over 12yrs.

Bwlch · 20/09/2020 16:52

Happy, although I'd be even happier two three pounds less.

NoGinNotComingIn · 20/09/2020 16:58

I'm happy, have been all my adult life. I'm a couple of kg heavier than normal and watching the scales creep up as I'm pregnant, but I know it'll come off a couple of months after I've had the baby (third child). I think I'm very lucky not to have any weight issues, I did think having children would make me gain weight and it'd be hard to shift but that just wasn't the case.

Happy but I still want to reduce body fat a bit. If I manage to put muscle on simultaneously whilst losing fat so not lose overall weight I'd be happy but I think I will probably end up losing weight to lose the fat.

cannotchange · 20/09/2020 16:59

Very very unhappy

Despite my best efforts at diet and exercise over the years I cannot she's even 1 pound.

I look awful and feel awful

JalapenoDave · 20/09/2020 17:00

I'd be very happy 2 stone lighter.

BatleyTownswomensGuild · 20/09/2020 17:02

In like to lose about a stone and a half, but it's

Peachypips78 · 20/09/2020 17:02

Very unhappy. Three stone over.

BatleyTownswomensGuild · 20/09/2020 17:03

Ideally would like to lose about a stone and a half. However, the issue is less about weight and more about where it is distributed. Too much belly fat by half...

frumpety · 20/09/2020 17:07

Would like to lose 10 stone , but would honestly be happy with a 8 stone loss. So not currently happy with my current weight.

GrandTheftWalrus · 20/09/2020 17:07

Extremely unhappy. I lost 7st and I've since put back on nearly 3st

Started a diet 2 weeks ago. Didn't lose a pound then found out I'm pregnant again on Friday.

So ill need to watch my weight very carefully now.

whirlwindwallaby · 20/09/2020 17:11

Most days I want to lose 2kg, but sometimes I wish I could gain 5kg and be happy about it. Slightly underweight and maintaining.

Houseplantmad · 20/09/2020 17:11

Would prefer to be a stone lighter.

2018SoFarSoGreat · 20/09/2020 17:15

Another stone down and is be at a happy weight for me. Unfortunately I'm going in the wrong direction right now.

GlitteryUnicornSparkles · 20/09/2020 17:17

Unhappy.

bunters · 20/09/2020 17:19

Very happy! For the first time in my life (and I haven't lost any weight, I've just changed my attitude)

CorianderLord · 20/09/2020 17:26

I'm unhappy, I'd like to lose a stone as it's all round my tum in a roll even though I'm a healthy weight.

MajesticWhine · 20/09/2020 17:28

I'm certainly not unhappy but I would be glad to lose 4-7 lbs

Thisisworsethananticpated · 20/09/2020 17:33

Unhappy
Gained a stone in lockdown
