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

[eatsleepread]

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?

I would be 6 stone but I'm 5 ft 9 so would either be dead or very skeletal

5 feet 8 and 4 and a half stone, so i dont Fancy my chances

Probably. Ish. I'd be in a bloody bad way though, if I was.

I would, sadly, be very much alive and kicking and very very healthy.

Probably need to lose the extra person I’m carrying about!

No

I’d probably be dead.

I’d be very frail, but possibly still alive.

Oh gosh, this makes me face up to my fatness. Yes, I would be very skinny (was actually that weight at 16 after an extreme diet) but still alive.

I’d be 4 stone so probably dead!

Winter coronavirus round 2; y’all need to loose weight asap to saaavvveeee the NNNNHHSSSSSSS!

Yes but severely underweight and probably quite unwell. 6 stone at 5'8" tall isn't good, is it?

I used to be 6 and a half stones - didn't get over 7 stones (non-pregnancy) until after I had my first baby (aged 30). By 45 I was 12 stones - now I'm 9st 9.

If my body weight was halved I doubt I'd survive.

Yes but pretty sick I think. The kind of weight which gets very very concerning for those with anorexia.

I’d be underweight but could soon put that right with a mountain of chocolate and carbs, so if you’ve got a magic wand and could make it happen OP, I’d be delighted.

Yes but I would be very ill

I’d be dead

No I would be dead.

Just about but I would be really quite poorly I'd say.

Definitely dead. Would be about 3 stone 5.
I'm very short though, 4ft 11 on a good day!

I’d be 34kgs, alive but skeletal.

Aaaaaand depressing thread of the day goes to....!

(Yes, I’d still be alive)

This thread takes me back to my days as a student nurse in late 70s, caring for anorexic patients.

They lived surprisingly active lives, despite being around 4st 10lb. The lowest, if I recall correctly, was 3st 12lb.

I would still be overweight I think. I'm 20 stone and 5'3.

No, I'd be 4.5 stone.

Still alive but very thin - about 3 stone below the weight where I start to look dreadful.
