If you’re 5”8 what’s your ideal weight

[GoGoFloFlo]

If your goal is to look slim, fit and athletic but not super skinny

Thanks

10st 4. Currently 10st 9 and struggling to shift it 🙃

10 13 and size 10. Ideal would be 10.4 . I can manage 10.9 if I need to but can’t get that low. Pretty toned and fit so I look ok

How is that possible? What dress size are you?

Interesting how weight and clothes size can differ so much - I’m 5ft 11 and 9st 8, and I don’t think I will ever get into a size 8!

9'5, size 12 with a stomach

This is really interesting, I’m 5ft 8 and am now 9st 13lb wearing size 10/12 but up until this year I was a size 22 up to 26 for my whole adult life (last time I was this weight I was 10 years old) so being this size is very very new and very very weird.

i don’t think I look skinny and my clothes size would suggest I’m not overly thin so not sure how low I will go but I think about 9 and a half stone,

I’m 9 stones 7lb. Size 8-10

I’ve gone from 11 to 10 stone 7 but definitely still have at least half a stone to go but more like a stone. Annoyingly when I was happy with my figure I didn’t ever weigh myself so don’t actually know what my ‘happy weight’ is.

Currently 9 stone 8 lbs.
I prefer 9 stone 6 lbs.
My goal is 9 stone 5 lbs but I never seem to hit it!

I'm 5’8” and I weigh just over 8 and a half stone at the moment. I look too thin if I go below 8 and a half so I do sometimes have extra calories by way of milkshakes.

i ride and hike every day and I’m late 50’s. All of the women in my family look the same figurewise, so genetically we are predisposed to be slim? 🤷🏻‍♀️

This is so true. I'm 5'8" and ideally around 9st which is a dress size 10. I have a small frame with puny little wrists and ankles and a pea head. Heaviest I have been was 11st (edited as typo originally said 12) at which I was a size 16 and very unhealthy although I believe still comfortably in the healthy BMI range.

I'm 5'8" and 62yo. My healthy summer weight is 9st10.

February weight, eating enough to feel warm and energetic, about 10st2.

I'm between a size 10 and size 12.

I’m 5ft8 - just over 9 stone just now, but around 9 and a half stone is my ideal and where I sit naturally. I’m a size 8/10 in tops and size 10 in bottoms at this weight.

I put on about a stone when I took sertraline and I just looked/felt puffy. At 10 and a half stone I was a size 12.

It’s really interesting. I’m 5’8.5 and at my heaviest, a few months ago, I was 13 stone 6. I felt (and looked) very overweight.

I also weight train, but feel so much better now I’m 9 stone 6 and just as strong.

It is interesting that you would not be able to fit in to a size 8 with such a low BMI, but then I suppose we are all simply recounting height and weight with no recourse to our frames. If, for example your hip bones are eighteen Inches apart you would never fit in to a size eight no matter how little you weighed.

10½ stone, size 12 bottom, 14-16 top. I'd like to be 10 stone but my face looks haggard at that weight.

It’s true. When I got married, I was 117 pounds, which made my BMI 17 or 18. I was still never a size 8.

I’m 5’7” and anything under 10st is ok, but ideal is around 9st 7lbs.

I’m 5’7.5 and weigh about 9stone1. I’m large framed and muscular but lean. Have big shoulders and no waist so often need a 12 in tops and jackets but more usually 8-10.

It is interesting but then easily explained by us all having different body shapes. I have a wide skeleton, so wide shoulders and hips, so anything below 10.5 stone looks terrible on me as the weight is spread over a bigger area.
Some people carry a lot of weight in their stomachs so need a bigger size trousers. Some people have huge torsos and then some are all leg etc

5ft 8in I look best in clothes and naked at 10 stone - less and my boobs lose fat and I look awful naked. I don’t weigh myself anymore - I try to stay at size 12 I think that’s about 10st 5lbs, it’s easy as long as I watch what I drink.

I’m 5ft 7 and I look my best at 9 stone 7 pounds.
I can probably go up to 11 before I start looking overweight.

I was really slim looking at 11 stone. Size 12 though but I am broad, hourglass with big feet. A lot of effort to stay there so didn't mind size 14 at 12.7 but have ‘grown’ into a 16 at 13.7. Looking to lose a stone.

I’m 5’8.5 and weigh 11 stone 8, wear a size 10. It’s the lowest weight I’ve ever been in my life (lost just over 13 stone on weight loss injections). I don’t want to lose anymore now as I’m starting to look a bit skinny and bony so I’m just working on maintaining my current weight.

11 7 is a happy weight for me. That’s a size 10/12 top and size 12/14 bottom half.
