To ask how much you think I weigh?

[ThatLadyLady]

I’m genuinely just curious. My hairdresser said she thought I’m a good 2-3 stone lighter than I actually am, so it got me thinking!

And that’s fine, the op is five foot 4. No one says she or you need to be at the bottom of the healthy bmi range, it is a wide range for a very good reason, diffeeent body make ups, different ethnicities etc. if you prefer clinically overweight, this is also fine. No one is coming to your door shouting you need to lose a few.

@Charlenedickens I'm just chatting.

I’d say 9-10 stone 11 at an absolute push.

Please read the thread. OP weighs almost 16 stone.

I'm 5cm taller than you but the same weight.
People assume I weigh 13/14 st.
Are you reasonably muscular? That's how I manage to carry my weight.

15st

I haven't read the OP's replies yet. OP, if you are five foot three, I'd guess 11.5-12 stone.

Wow! I definitely wouldn't have guessed that! OP, you must have thick bones!

5’7”

@CrystalShoe the other possibility is that plenty of people are terrible at estimating weight, and may also have lost sight of what a healthy weight looks like. The OPs pictures show someone who is clearly obese, not just a bit overweight.

16 stone but wearing it well..... but really ' why worry what others think you weigh...im 18 stone and hate it but i don't give a flying fuck what people think i do or do not weigh x

Of course I understand. I’m not an imbecile. What’s ridiculous about that range is that it’s basically too low. I have small bones and would look like a walking skeleton at anything less than 9st.

The relative lengths of your torso and legs can make a lot of difference -- more in the legs, lighter weight. And the reverse.

Without reading the thread I'd say you look similar to me and I'm the same height, I weigh 14st

It's not too wide a range because most people of that height will be perfectly fine at the lower and the upper end. Yes the lower end will look quite slim but they'll still be healthy.

15 stone

I haven’t RTT but around 15/16 stone as you look a similar shape to me.

What a lovely response.
Well done @Cynic17
And I agree.

OP, if you've lost that much weight, I would imagine you've got a fair amount of excess skin, which must add a lot to your weight without adding as much bulk as fat would.

Losing ten stone is absolutely amazing for your health though - a huge well done to you for safeguarding your future in this way.

That’s fine, but it’s not made just for you. Plenty of ethnicities would not look like that at that weight. It simply isn’t just about you.

11 stone.

14 stone

Well done on your weight loss. I would also have underestimated your weight but I think your clothes not fitting very well doesn't help. Presumably as you have been losing weight and are still doing so your wardrobe is in a state of flux. Once your weight settles you will get used to your new shape and can buy new clothes.

Yes, you do carry it well.
My guess was 12/13 stone too.
Well done on the new you. 💐

I am that build at 5ft 1 and weigh 10 stone. She doesn't look as if she's too tall. 12 stone maybe
