i would say i am fairly happy with my weight.

OP posts:
Binnie0309 · 20/09/2020 17:34

Happyish- I'd like to lose half a stone but I'm not very good at making the sacrifices needed to get there. If I could zap it off my tummy I would in a heartbeat!

ginsparkles · 20/09/2020 17:34

Currently unhappy but unable to do anything about it for now.

itssquidstella · 20/09/2020 17:35

Happy. I wouldn't mind being a bit more sculpted, and I wouldn't complain if I lost a few pounds, but I know I don't need to.

NiceLegsShameAboutTheFace · 20/09/2020 17:36

Ecstatic. I was only around 40 in the 'before' pict Sad I post on here as a reminder to ME that I'm not going back whence I came. Ever!

MilaRos · 20/09/2020 17:40

Happy...BMI 18.5 I just want to tone up a bit, but I hate exercising!!!!!

justanotherneighinparadise · 20/09/2020 17:41

Im a normal weight but trying to lose another 14lb. So I’m dissatisfied but not unhappy

lockeddownandcrazy · 20/09/2020 17:44

obese and fine with the weight - lack of clothes for sale in the size is annoying though

WeeWelshWoman · 20/09/2020 17:46

Unhappy

SecretWitch · 20/09/2020 17:48

@NiceLegsShameAboutTheFace, you look marvelous! You clearly have put in much work to get healthy.

Heathcliff27 · 20/09/2020 18:03

I'm happy but if I was a stone lighter I would probably feel better

UnaCorda · 20/09/2020 18:06

Happy with my weight, but very unhappy that so many people don't know the difference between "lose" and "loose".

hippospot · 20/09/2020 18:07

Not happy exactly but have made peace with the fact that this weight is my body's natural weight. It's in the healthy range and I've accepted the proportions are just the way I'm made. I could diet and exercise obsessively, it would not change my basic shape (flat chested, pear shaped). I'm 46 and healthy, this is more important now.

TrulyOutrageousJem · 20/09/2020 18:12

Happy (ish)
I feel fine in clothes but uncomfortable when naked. I know the clothes that suit me and I can hide the worst bits.

Pinkyandthebrainz · 20/09/2020 18:13

Happy

BoogieFeet · 20/09/2020 18:14

Unhappy, and been so since a teenager despite never being technically overweight. Doubt I’ll ever be happy about it and it’s harder and harder to even maintain. Dreading the menopause. I no longer enjoy food or socialising as just a meal out will mean gaining at least a pound and will then take weeks to lose :(

speakout · 20/09/2020 18:17

I haven't weighed myself for 15 years, I have no idea how much I weigh.
I do feel happy with my body though. I exercise daily, feel comfortable in size 10 trousers.
I could weigh 8st or 10st. I really don't know.

Rainbowx · 20/09/2020 18:25

Lost 5 stone 3 to go im happy but inpatient

Kanaloa · 20/09/2020 18:38

Quite happy. I could probably lose a few pounds to be even happier but it’s hard when working from home! So much of my normal daily exercise hasn’t been happening this year.

Ihearditthroughthegrapevine · 20/09/2020 18:40

Both. I’ve recently lost about 6 stone so happy with that but still want to lose another stone to get to my target so I’m a mixture of both.

Morgana7 · 20/09/2020 18:41

Unhappy. I’m about 2 stone overweight so nothing too bad but I would definitely prefer to be a size 10 again

MilkOfThePuppy · 20/09/2020 19:10

Not miserable, but unhappy. Apparently not unhappy enough to have done anything about it, though... I'd like to lose enough to fit into things I wore ten or fifteen years ago. It should be doable.

Fedupmum88 · 20/09/2020 19:12

Unhappy! Gained 2st since lockdown started 😩

LadySeaThing · 20/09/2020 19:16

Hmm both.

Happy - in the bigger scheme of things, I’m happy my weight is at least in the ballpark of healthy, especially at 50, having carried two giant babies and having hardly any time to exercise - It’s not bad.

Unhappy - I’d love to be a stone lighter and I don’t like my menopausal belly. But it’s sooooo hard to lose weight. Might be trying HRT soon (For other reasons) and see if that helps.

Sexnotgender · 20/09/2020 19:18

Unhappy, would like to lose a stone but I’m pregnant so not the best idea.

Lurchermom · 20/09/2020 19:26

Happier than I was, but still unhappy.
