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!

You definitely don't look that weight. Some people carry it better. You carry it very well considering your height. I was heavier than you a few months ago, 3 inches taller, and looked massive compared to you! I would have guessed around 14 stone at the most.

14/15 stone

I think maybe you’re just reading the comments that say you look lighter. Which is interesting really. You must see a difference from the 10 stone ago though?

Sadly not. My mum is obese and has awful osteoporosis. Her lifelong poor mobility has probably not helped, but her mum also had it and was slim. I am slim, but active, in the hope that I can stave it off, as I assume in our family it is at least partly genetic.

I truly don't. I think it's some form of body dysmorphia

I lost 6 stone after my DH died. Not intentional and not recommended - stress vomiting, loss of appetite etc. I’ve never regained my appetite and live on salads. . No one knew what I was and I’m not 9 stone. I never ask people, but they seem to think I’m only about 7 stone now. I’m not. Other people guessing never ends well. 🤷‍♀️🙄

Are you very muscular? I am about 5'2" and currently just over 9 stone. No way can you see my ribs and by 10 stone, which I have never been, I would definitely be fat rather than my current slightly over comfortable. I am underweight at 7 stone and look my best around 8 stone. I am very cardio fit but not very strong.

I say 13.5 stone or around 85 kg.

Well done on your weight loss.

I’d have put you at about 80 kg, as you look slimmer than me.

I think she said that to be nicer to you

So hard to say but based on those photos I would at about 80-85kg and perhaps a size 18.

You don't have to be muscular to have visible ribs and collar bone at a relatively high BMI, just big-framed. I've got them at BMI 25. My wrists, which have no fat on them, are nearly 6 inches around.

I would have guessed 16 stone so not badly off.

85kg

Wow, well done on the weight loss! I think you are carrying it well, I would have guessed your weight as lower.

Presumably just another mumsnetter - a normal person who defies the BMi scale in exactly the same way as a rugby player or a supermodel.

it’s very uncommon for an adult woman to have visable ribs at the age of most mumsnetters.

15st

15 stone around there.

I’d say probably about 16 stone depending on your height. I’m around 14.5 stone and probably a small smaller.

11.75 stone

op, I think what the thread is showing is people have lost sight of what a healthy bmi looks like.

And bingo. 🙄

Why is everyone still guessing when OP revealed her weight hours ago?!

16 stone ish

I would say 60 kilos.

13-14st - I’m a similar shape! Down to 12st on GLP1s.
