what weight are you if you are 5 ft 8?

[doineedhelp]

Please lovely ladies,

I need some perspective here as people keep telling me I'm as I should be but not sure I agree....

I am 5 ft 8 , at the minute I weigh 11 st 8lb. Classic apple shape, 34ff boobs but good pair of legs! I feel I'm still fat at this weight even though I'm largely in a size 12 top and (mostly) bottom. Realistically though I'm pushing 40 so really struggling to lose anymore weight (i drink too much red wine if truth be told!)

So, what do other ladies with similar stats to me weigh?
Should I be hitting the spin bike and shakes or relaxing a little

Thanks

I'm 5'8" and two months ago 1 was 14 stone 7lbs. I joined Slimming World at the end of Sept and I am now 13 stone 2. I am back in a size 14. I am aiming for 12 stone. This sounds huge compared to some of the 5'8"ers on this thread! It is the top of healthy range for our height. The doctor who did my medical which made me realise that i really did need to loose weight measured a lot of wrist/hip /shoulder type distances/circumferences one a told me that I had about the biggest skeleton you'd get for my height. I am very muscly and at 11 stone I am pointy honey and my size 8.5 feet look like flippers!

gnocci You may not like the question - but you didn't answer it either.

Muscle maybe denser than other materials but it will always weight the same pound for pound.

Of course a pound of anything weighs the same as a pound of anything else - that's what a pound is, a measurement of weight. Nobody would ever dispute that a pound of something weighs the same as a pound of something else. If you think that anyone is saying otherwise you are accusing them of being incredibly dense.

When people say "muscle weighs more than fat" they mean for the same volume.

The same way when people say "lead weighs more than feathers" or "sugar weighs more than flour" they mean by volume.

Whenever anyone says that anything weighs more than anything else they mean that for a thing of the same size, one weighs more.

(yes, I know, mass rather than weight, gravity blah blah blah)

Seriously ivy no one is that thick.

Exactly trills

I don't care how fat you may still feel, anyone who has recently lost 2+ stone deserves a standing ovation. That's a LOT, Well done!

I'm 5 foot 7 and weigh 9 stone 3 ish. I feel quite slim at this weight.

5 foot 8. I weigh 11 stone six. I am very very curvy (34G boobs, coathanger hips). I was 15 stone 10 just under two years ago.

I still feel fat.

See having lost about 32lbs, I feel great with my 14 stone and people who know me say how skinny I look (arf!). Mind you my frame itself is big - I've got size 10 feet, massive hands, very broad shoulders, and am bloody 34GG, so most of the rest of me seems slightly smaller in comparison..!

Would like to see if I can get in the 13s though - unknown territory for me since I was a teenager...

I am 5''8 and weigh 11stone now (67kg) and am happy to say, don't worry about it!! I am 17 (Birthday was a week ago) so believe me, you're doing splendidly! I will likely gain weight as I get older as I am still developing, so don't worry about weighing 11stone 8lbs, that is a perfectly healthy BMI!

I know I am very late to this thread, but thought I would post anyway, just so you know - there isn't anything wrong with you!

I'm 5ft 8 and 9st 11. Too much for me and I have a belly. My ideal would be 9st-9st 7. I can be anything from a size 6 to 12 dependent on shop!

It's easy enough to check on the nhs website to see the normal BMI range for your height which is 8st 10lb to 11st 11lb. What is your waist measurement? Waist to hip ratio should be

5'7. 11 stone. Was 10.5 and want to get to that again. Body not doing it though.

Just so you all know - This thread is 5 years old!!

It is. I saw a reply from myself back there.

I've clearly spent too long on mnet

I'm 5 7 and a half and 11st 7 at the moment. (mid 20s)
Been slowly losing weight since I was 12st 4 last summer!
I think my ideal weight would be 10st 4, I stopped growing at 15 and was this weight aged 15-20 give or take a pound or two!
I'm a size 12-14 btw, was a 10-12 at 10st 4.

I'm 5'9 and 12 stone/77 kilos.
I'm muscley though and my tummy is flat. I'm a plough pulling shot put heaving type of woman!

19 stone and size 22.

And 5"8

I'm always amazed too by the range of weights and sizes!

I am 5, 9", size 12 and 10 st 10lbs. Pretty muscular build and fairly large frame - my personal ideal is 10.5 stone and the lightest I've ever been is 9st 11 lbs - that was too thin.

5.7 (.5) and 8 stone exactly.

Very fit, very healthy but eat quite a bit.

I don't look scrawny apparently and everything in proportion. I'm just very very slender.

I'm 5ft 9, 10stone 10 and am a 12 - 14. I've got big boobs - 32E and a big bum/ thighs on a fairly small frame. I do a moderate amount of exercise but my body fat percentage is quite high. Would love to feel more toned and less 'curvy'.

At 5'8" I weigh 62kg, yes I know I am mixing metric and imperial!

But I have an athletic (read, flat-chested) build. Size 10 in most shops.

I am 5' 7.5 and have to say that over 11stone I would feel and look really fat.

I look slim at 10st 4 but my perfect weight is 9.5 stone.

Around 9st, size 8-10
