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?

Hmm I'm not sure, I'd be very unwell at the very least as I would be 5.5 stone

InfiniteSheldon · 21/09/2020 17:43

This has made me feel so much better about my weight I'd still alive but skeletal which actually means I don't really have that much to lose

CoffeeRunner · 21/09/2020 17:44

I’d probably be alive but at my height, scarily underweight.

Yes, although I'd look pretty skeletal.

ChelseeDagger · 21/09/2020 17:46

Probably not. Five stone at 5'9

iklboo · 21/09/2020 17:47

Yes but I wouldn't be very well.

DragonPie · 21/09/2020 17:47

I would be 4 stone so probably dead. I weighed 7st until I was about 30.

Rudolphian · 21/09/2020 17:47

I'd be 6 stone. So like a skeleton and really sick

Worldwide2 · 21/09/2020 17:48

I'm 5'3 and 7st 13lbs
So half I think I'd be dead lol

HaudMaDug · 21/09/2020 17:48

No chance, I'd be 3.5 stone.

anniversarywoes · 21/09/2020 17:48

I'd be just over 4 stone, so no, not alive Confused

Moonmelodies · 21/09/2020 17:49

Have a look at the Sabia and Loren YouTube channel, Loren had a halfectomy about a year ago, and is doing really well ...

@Merryoldgoat

You and me both, my friend!

JaceLancs · 21/09/2020 17:50

I would be dead or very poorly

BillywigSting · 21/09/2020 17:51

I'd be alive and at the very bottom end of a healthy bmi at 6.5 stone. I am only 4ft10 though so I really don't think it's realistic.

About 8 stone is where I'm comfortable. I do definitely need to loose a significant amount of weight.

nonevernotever · 21/09/2020 17:51

I wouldn't even be unreasonably thin. I am working on it and have lost a stone and a half so far, but would still be 8.5 stone now

frumpety · 21/09/2020 17:52

I would weigh just under 10 stone , so for me very slim , but very much alive Smile

bathorshower · 21/09/2020 17:52

Given I've just read a concentration camp survivor's testimony from someone who weighed 32 kg (5 stone) when she was liberated, yes, but I'd be very unwell (as was she).

fishonabicycle · 21/09/2020 17:52

I'm a 5 foot adult and about 7 stone 3. So definitely would be dead if I halved my weight. I do work hard to keep my weight down though.

LadyCatStark · 21/09/2020 17:53

I’d be just over 4 stone so if I was alive, I’d probably be in hospital and very unwell.

pandafunfactory · 21/09/2020 17:53

Yup

Newnamenewopenme · 21/09/2020 17:56

4 and a half stone, I would definitely need new jeans!

EveryPlanetHasAYorkshire · 21/09/2020 17:56

It would give me a BMI of about 11 so I doubt it.

blubberball · 21/09/2020 17:58

I'd be 7 stone.
