How much weight do I need to lose (pic included)

[fatbernie]

I don't want to weigh myself as I'm worried what will come up. I don't want to depress myself.

I think I'm around two-three stone overweight but I'm not sure.

I know you can't tell by just looking at a pic but roughly how much do you think I'd need to lose to be a normal healthy weight?

I am 5ft6.

Can't believe I'm posting a bikini pic but I need advice and have nowhere in 'real life' to get it.

Your arms look nice and overall you're not too bad. I'd say a couple of stone or two and a half stone.
But if you manage to lose half a stone it's an achievement.

There's no way on earth I'd post a bikini shot of myself.

Haha. Well my face is cut out. No one knows who I am

Id say about 2 1/2 stone

Hi, first of all well done for being so brave!

I think you need to focus less on the overall loss but just taking a target of a couple of pounds, then focus on 4 pounds etc. It works for me anyway!

I take photos once a month to see how I'm maintaining, or losing as required.

I would be reluctant to say a stone total as it's very hard to tell from a photo.

I think you would need to target the stomach area for toning, i.e. Sit ups, plank. Davina's DVDs are really good for this.

You have great arms and a defined waist, I think with short intense exercise you'll notice a massive difference.

Good luck, hope this helps.

Your arms and shoulders are a god shape and don't look flabby

I don't even think you need to lose weight probably just tone up a bit you look perfect weight to me

Without knowing height it's hard to tell, a stone or stone and a half?

I'd say aim for a stone and then see.

I think you look similar to me and I'm aiming to lose a stone.

I think you look like me, although I am slightly shorter than you. Bearing that in mind, I am about a stone heavier than I want to be, but 6lbs over a healthy BMI.

You need to tell us a bit more about what you want to be!? Curvy? Slim? Skinny?

I think I'm a little under a stone overweight medically. But to be my ideal weight I'd like to lose a stone and a half. Two stone would be amazing but then I'd be a little too slim maybe.

I'd like to be a size 10.

Maybe 2 stone? But you might find that more exercise will help you tone up and you might worry less about your overall size then.

Don't panic you're not a million miles away from where you should be.

Have you had kids?

I think you should aim for a stone, and at the same time do toning exercises. You certainly don't have far to go and you already look great.

Two stone. You'll be da bomb if you lose that 😀

What dress size are you currently? I'm your height, and one stone = one dress size roughly for me. I'm a bit bigger than you and currently around 13st, I reckon you are about a stone lighter than me!

I'm a 12/14. More a 12 though. I think I'm a little under 12 stone.

You look just like me I bet you are about 11.5 stone. I am the same height as you.

I wouldn't focus on an amount seeing as you don't know what you weigh anyway, but what I do is choose a dress or pair of jeans in the size I want to be and work towards fitting into them. I've been fat and thin so have clothes in various sizes! I find this approach stops me getting hung up on 'numbers' and let's me focus on how I'll feel when I'm wearing the 'goal' item.

FWIW if you want a number I think for somebody of your size (not that big) then 2 stone would make a big difference.

I think you look gorgeous! I would kill to have your body. It just goes to show you that most people are never entirely satisfied with their bodies. If you are unhappy with the way you look then maybe try toning a little bit as others have suggested. Again, I think you have a lovely figure.

its just your tummy, the rest of you looks great. A stone, tops.

If you want to be a size 10, I reckon a stone and a half. Agree with he others, you have a lovely shape currently and would also look fab a smaller size.

I'd say you need to
Lose a stone. You look a similar shape to me and you are similar height.

I'm a 12/14 too. I'm
About 2.5 pound over the top of my bmi but if I lost another stone I'd be a small 12.
