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 be very chuffed as I'd be a weight I would likely never see as I really struggle to lose weight

@TorkTorkBam

Glad to have been of assistance Grin

I'd probably be dead. If I was alive it would only be on life support in hospital!

MsTSwift · 21/09/2020 17:34

No have got to 9 st 9 and am 5 foot 6 my grandmother was 4 stone on her deathbed

PumpkinPie2016 · 21/09/2020 17:34

Probably but I'd be extremely unwell as I'd only be 4.5 stone.

SunbathingDragon · 21/09/2020 17:34

No, not unless I was also going back in time to be a young child.

SummersNearlyOver20 · 21/09/2020 17:35

Dead as I’d be 3.8 stone

megletthesecond · 21/09/2020 17:35

Definitely not.

TroysMammy · 21/09/2020 17:35

I'd be just under 5 stone. I expect I would be pretty unwell although 17 years ago I dropped to 5 1/2 stone and was fine, divorce and a lot of cycling. I'm just under 5ft and used to be a small frame.

eatsleepread · 21/09/2020 17:36

So many of you are of a normal weight. I have no right to envy, as I am very much what I eat!
Anyway, good on you all for working at it. 👍

I would be 5ft 9 and less than 5 stone, guess I would be hospitalised or dead.

Bloomburger · 21/09/2020 17:36

No.

NNCD · 21/09/2020 17:37

I’d be a healthy weight for the first time since age 7 - I’d be delighted !

DioneTheDiabolist · 21/09/2020 17:37

No.

Tootletum · 21/09/2020 17:37

Maybe on life support...

lonelyonee · 21/09/2020 17:39

I'm currently 7st 4lbs so no I assume at 4st 7lbs I'd be dead 🤷🏼‍♀️

FatGirlShrinking · 21/09/2020 17:39

5ft 8 and I'd be 7 and a half stone so very skinny but alive and functional.

Blingismything · 21/09/2020 17:40

I'd be 6 stone 2lb so verging on being ill.

Deadringer · 21/09/2020 17:40

Yes but i would be skin and bone

littlepeas · 21/09/2020 17:41

5.5 stone at 5ft 6in - borderline, definitely very unwell, quite possibly dead.

MulticolourMophead · 21/09/2020 17:41

Halving my body weight would be very good for me, and I'm already on the way to doing that.

And on that note, it's time for my evening walk now that I've finished work.

tiredanddangerous · 21/09/2020 17:41

I'd be alive and at the bottom end of the healthy weight range for my height. I am very fat.

Merryoldgoat · 21/09/2020 17:42

I’d finally be a healthy weight 🤣

Chesneyhawkes1 · 21/09/2020 17:42

I'd weigh just under 4 stone, so I don't think so

nevermorelenore · 21/09/2020 17:42

Yes, I'd be very skinny because I'm tallish but would be alive. That's so embarrassing. I'm working on it though.
