To think being 8 stone at

[Iftheclouds]

5’4 is very slim?

I'm 5' 5 and I've never been 8 stone in living memory - I first weighed myself as a teenager and I was 10 stone then.

I think it's very slim and I'd sell my granny to weigh that little!

Yes, but you get the competitive undereaters satin they're six foot talk and a size 4.

Yes, of course it is.

Everyone's body shape is different but I would say usually yes. When I was 8 stone at 5'6 (pre kids!) I was very, very thin to the point of looking bony and people constantly making rude remarks.

It brings a BMI of 19.1 which is at the slim end of 'normal' and that sounds tine to me.

I have similar BMI when race fit

Haha, yes. I was savaged a while back for suggesting that a 5'8", 9 stone woman being a size 6 was unusual. I was told my idea of 9 stone was fat and flabby, hers was pure muscle 😂

Yes, slim.

Pre kids at that height I was 8st2lbs. I was skinny but ate loads. I'm a couple of stone heavier now 28 odd years later and I suit it better.

It's a BMI of 19, so I'd say slim, very slim for some depending on build. I have a BMI of 18 and I would say I'm slim. I have a small build so look healthy at this weight.

Its comfortably within healthy BMI range.
I'm 5ft 3 and weight 8 stone. I'm a size 8. I could certainly do to lose more fat, but I am naturally pear shaped, so it would take a lot to lose it.

I’m 5’3” and weigh somewhere around 8 - 8.5 stones. I guess I’m slim but I have a bit of a belly!

I think it is undeniably slim but weight doesn't tell the full story. You can have a low BMI with a very low muscle mass and a relatively high body fat percentage. I think it's better to focus the bigger picture of overall health rather than solely on weight.

my DD is 5 foot 5 and 8 stone 5. I can't imagine half a stone making her look very thin. She is slim yes but nothing bony about her. Her BMI bottom end is 7 stone 13lb. Me on the other hand I'm close to the top end of my BMI category for healthy weight.

That sounds like a normal, healthy weight.

I’m 5’5 and currently 8st, I’m definitely skinnier than I’d like to be.

I’m 5,4 and was 8 stone or thereabouts (sometimes under by a few pounds and sometimes over) in my twenties.

Yes i would say it is pretty slim, but not unhealthy or dangerous. It is within the healthy BMI range.

It is slim..But I guarantee you if you'd posted "I'm 5ft 4, 8st and feel chubby" there'd be people coming on with weight loss advice.

I think people are assuming its slimmer than it is I’m 5ft 3” and 8st and still have a belly and although I would count as “small” I’m definitely not intsagram/fitness model “slim” and just normal body size HTH

Yes definitely very slim.

Yes. I'm 8 stone 8 (when not pregnant/ nursing newborn) at 5"4 and that's a size 6-8

I'm 5ft 4 and I look my best at 10 stone (I've got an hourglass figure).

When I was 9 stone I looked a little thin.

I haven't been 8 stone since I was about 13 years old!

However, it could be absolutely fine on a different body shape.

I'm 5'6". Earlier this year I trained for a half marathon and got down to 8st 3lbs. Almost without exception people told me I was too thin and, yes, in photos I now recognise that I looked gaunt and ill.

I'm fairly chunkily built, boobs, tiny waist and bum. Some people apparently thought I was lying about the training and was really in treatment for cancer.

Too thin is actually a thing.

I think it would depend on your build though. I’m 5’3” and look too thin imo at that weight and I’m best around 9 stone but I’m fairly curvy. sIL same height but v small build looks best around 8 stone.

My dd is 5ft4 and weighs just over 7st. Yes she's very slim but her frame is tiny so she looks a perfect weight and not remotely underweight.

I was 8 stone 4 at 5ft 4 for over 20 years. Those were the days.
