Just based on your own height/weight/dress size. Sorry is this is a strange question but just wondering following a conversation with MIL what weight she thinks I am. Thanks

am about to read thread...

but after op would guess 12.5 stone.

i'm about that height and when i weighed 11st i was just into size 16.

I just had a look at a BMI calculator and for my height it says the max I should be is 10 stone - that means I am 3 stone overweight. The thing is that even if I do lose weight I could never imagine myself as three stone lighter. I have never been a thin person and although I know I could do with losing some weight I think a stone would be enough.

Has anyone here ever had dramatic weight loss? Did you look completely different afterwards?
