I'm so heavy

[withmycoffee]

I am 5'3" and a small UK 12. So I'm a little chunky for my height but not anything excessive. I wear mediums In most brands. Being shorter ideally I would be a uk 8 and wear xs but I'm in my 50s and look ok. I work out and have significant muscle but.... I am 80kg. EIGHTY. How am I so heavy?

I don't know how but you don't look even close to 80kg. I'm roughly the same height and look about the same weight at 64kg and that's with a high muscle mass.

OP, you look fabulous. I'm also shocked at your 80kg. I'm 5'7" and when I was 80 kg I was an 18 or a tight 16. I'm now 67 kg, and a comfortable somewhat loose 14, occasional 12, but depends on the cut as my ass goes on for days. I'm in the process of trying to lose a stone, but I will still only be a 12 because of where the weight will leave me won't be weight distributed.

You look fit and healthy, just forget the scales op. Anyone who works out with weights but also has a bit of excess body fat will be heavier on the scales than they'd like but your waist is only 30ins, that's an indicator of good health.
