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?

Nope

I think I’d be alive (30kg at 5’4”) but I’d weigh only a couple of kg more than my small for age and very slight 9yo. It would not be a good look.

muckycat · 21/09/2020 20:23

I'd be alive, 6 stone something at 5'6" but I would look like a skeleton, joints and ribs sticking out everywhere as I'm quite big boned

Currently in the process of losing half my body weight. I've lost 63lbs, got another 77lbs to lose, and that has me at 133lbs in my final form. Lol.

So I could just about get away with losing half my body weight right now, but not for too much longer.

WatchoutfortheROUS · 21/09/2020 20:27

Nope, I'd be dead, very dead Halo I'm not super skinny, but halve your body weight is an awful lot to lose! Anyone still alive must be very obese to begin with I'd have thought?

WatchoutfortheROUS · 21/09/2020 20:27

*halving

amysaurus87 · 21/09/2020 20:38

Yes, just. Would put me on a par with what I weighed when I was struggling with an undiagnosed eating disorder at university

WooMaWang · 21/09/2020 20:40

I’d be under 5 stone and not very well (I’m 5’6” tall). So I don’t think it’d be a great idea.

DipSwimSwoosh · 21/09/2020 20:41

I would be dead I think.

Susannahmoody · 21/09/2020 20:41

I'd be around 5 stone. Very very ill.

polkadotpixie · 21/09/2020 20:45

It'd be borderline. I'd be 4st 10lbs so I'd be at deaths door at least

Time40 · 21/09/2020 20:45

I'd be very very dead.

MaverickDanger · 21/09/2020 20:46

Halving this weight would make my BMI 14 but then I am in my third trimester. It would be 12 at my pre-pregnancy weight.

Jemenfouscompletement · 21/09/2020 20:47

I'd be 4stone 9 at 5'8 maybe not dead but not very well

ScrambledSmegs · 21/09/2020 20:51

I would be about 4.5 stone, at average height. so pretty much on the cusp of barely alive/dead.

bengalcat · 21/09/2020 20:52

No - unlikely as I'd be 30kg
