Really random, but if your body weight were suddenly halved, would you still be alive?!

I don't know what made me think of this. Probably the depressing realisation that if I weighed half as much, I'd be a skinny Minnie, but very much still alive and kicking!
So I really need to lose weight.
You?

Yes and I'd probably still be overweight according to BMI Blush

Aquamarine1029 · 21/09/2020 17:28

I would be dead.

Blue565 · 21/09/2020 17:28

Hmm, I'm a overweight now but half would be 6.5 stone

Are any adults 7 stone?

Inastatus · 21/09/2020 17:28

I’d be alive but skeletal.

NurseNancyandDoctorDavid · 21/09/2020 17:29

Absolutely not. Confused

Ashdownstar · 21/09/2020 17:29

No I'd be 4.5 stone

justanotherneighinparadise · 21/09/2020 17:29

Yes I would! I think I’d be scarily underweight, but still alive.

eatsleepread · 21/09/2020 17:30

Actually, I wouldn't be that skinny ...
Very slim but not in an unhealthy way.

2 years ago most definitely, now, not even near

TheGinGenie · 21/09/2020 17:30

Yes, I'd be about 6.5 stone but that's only about half a stone underweight at my height. That's a horrible thought!

Dailyhandtowelwash · 21/09/2020 17:30

Alive but only fit for the catwalk at best. If models can be shortarses.

TheKeatingFive · 21/09/2020 17:30

Probably not no

GoldfishParade · 21/09/2020 17:30

I wouldnt

Dreamersandwishers · 21/09/2020 17:31

I would be dead - but I work pretty hard at that iyswim

TrashPanda · 21/09/2020 17:31

No, I'd be less than 4 stone.

TheGinGenie · 21/09/2020 17:31

@Blue565 depends how tall you are, you can easily be an adult at 7 stone if you're quite short. I'm only 5ft and my minimum healthy weight is 7st 4 I think

RhinestoneCowgirl · 21/09/2020 17:32

No I'd be skeletal too, very far from a healthy weight for my height.

Estrellente · 21/09/2020 17:32

Yes, probably, but I’d be very underweight.

SisyphusAndTheRockOfUntidiness · 21/09/2020 17:32

Yes, but I'd be significantly underweight.

Aswad · 21/09/2020 17:33

Ooo I’d be 6 stone/ 37 ish kg so I’d be very very poorly as I’m tall

TorkTorkBam · 21/09/2020 17:33

You've made my day. I have been moping about having become fat but hey, at half my body weight I would be dead, yes. Perversely this idea has made me feel more motivated to lose the flab I have. Human psychology is weird.

Camomila · 21/09/2020 17:33

I would be 26kg so no.

Are any adults 7 stone?
I imagine some of DHs Filipina cousins were probably around 7 stone when they were late teens, early 20s. I'm 5'3" and one of the tallest at family gatherings.

Azerothi · 21/09/2020 17:33

No, I would be 3 stone.

BogRollBOGOF · 21/09/2020 17:33

Possibly a skeleton?
Although DS is about half of me and doing fine on it Grin

OneofPansPeople · 21/09/2020 17:33

No
