Yes I weighed yesterday in Boots. I’ve finally gone up to 14 Stone.

Im doing something about it - cutting calories and last night went out for a gentle run

OP, don't run yet. You'll knacker your knees. Wait for that and see it as a goal to lose weight for. Fast walking will do you as much good and 90% less impactful on your joints. Give them time to catch up.

Go you!

I’m same height and weight, just finished couch to 5k, knees are fine, I jump rope and cycle, no knee issues but weight also stagnant so massively cutting portion sizes now.

I was 4’11’ and 18 stone 6lb so I feel your pain op. The main thing is you are doing something! I started over two years ago and am now a size 4 and maintaining a healthy weight for my height.

Hope its going well OP, I had a similar reality check a few years ago and after bumps along the way have been maintaining for a year now.

I've managed to lose just over a stone since the beginning of June, I'm now 13st 3, I'm already feeling the difference

@RowsOfFlowers yes size four . As it turns out I’m only very slightly built and not the ‘big boned’ woman I’ve been thinking I am for years 😂 I’m in the healthy bmi range for my height and look in proportion as I’m tiny , height wise . On the upside , I fit children’s clothes so get to wear some pretty zany outfits these days!

Girlllll, we need to talkkkk.
I have no idea where I’m going wrong with my weight loss but naturally I’m very skinny too, at least I was until I hit my late 20s.

This is tongue in cheek but go on antibiotics- I've lost nearly half a stone after 3 days on them. Luckily I was ten stone so not quite so overweight but now down to 9 and a half ish

I got my tonsils out and lost about 2 stone 🤣
