I’ve been 9 stone 3lbs and 19 stone 5lbs in my adult life. Sometimes you just don’t care enough about yourself to worry about what you are eating- too many other things take priority. I’d say my average throughout my adult life is probably 14 to 15 stone. I’m quite happy in a size 14, (around 12 stone 5lbs for me) don’t feel big then just curvy. I worried about my health being 19 stone so that’s what prompted me. I was always curvy as a teenager too, got down to a size 8 for my wedding but was in size 12 by return from honeymoon! I lost 6 stone in covid as I was scared of catching it being 17 stone. Over the last 6 years have put 7 stone on. It’s a complicated relationship with food (particularly in my case ice cream, biscuits and sweets).

I'm 5 ft 5 in and 13 stone 8 lbs,with a BMI 31.6 which is classed as obese. Disheartening as I've lost 7 and a half stone over the last couple of years. I need to lose another 15 lbs to be in the 'overweight' category, and another 2 stone after that to be in the 'healthy' category.
