Hi,
For all the 5ft5 (165cm) ladies, if you don't mind saying, how much are you weighing at the moment and what size are you?

Trying to figure out what goal i want to aim for....
I'm currently 10st6 (down from 15st1) and a size 14

I am a cm taller, I’m 11st 3lbs or so, down from 22st, and currently a size 14. Some of my tops are size 12, but lower half is definitely still a 14.

I am initially aiming for 10st 3lbs and see how I feel when I get there, I may readjust downwards.

Littletreefrog · 07/12/2025 17:26

I'm 5ft 5 and 10st 7 down from 13st I'm between a 14 and a 12 depending on the shop and the style of clothing as I have no boobs so can get away with smaller tops. I ideally want to drop the 7lbs but I think more importantly I need to tone up. I'm not on any weight loss injections though if that matters

Claudette7934 · 07/12/2025 18:57

5ft 4 here. Down from 14 stone to 8 and size 6-8.

i know that sounds very light but I have very tiny features:frame (my wedding ring was a size G) and I’m just back to the weight I was from puberty until late 30s.

I’m absolutely delighted as I thought I would never get back to it.

Itscoldouthere · 07/12/2025 19:05

I’m 164cm so about 5ft 5, started at about 84kg (13.3 stone) now hover around 59/60kg (9.6 stone) in maintenance for the last 5 months, although I did drop to 57kg I’ve put a few kg on.
I was a tight fitting 16, but now 12/10 depending where I shop.
Im working on building back muscle as I lost my bum in the process, but I’m 62 so not expecting miracles, but I’ve certainly made progress with weights on my upper body, arms, shoulders, back, but still have a belly that doesn’t want to shift and I don’t really want to loose more as my face has suffered enough 🤣

lissie123 · 07/12/2025 19:22

I’m 5’5” and weight 10’7 down from 13’3. I’m a size 12 now and just within the healthy BMi range

Twasasurprise · 07/12/2025 19:37

I'm 5'5", 8st 10lb, currently size 8-10 I'd say. I was BMI 38 now down to BMI 20.

(I'm mixed ethnicity, so BMI 18.5 to 23 is my Healthy range. Very happy where I am in the middle.)

Lookingforthejoy · 07/12/2025 19:43

Me. Although I think I’m 5” 5.5.

I’m at 9 1/2 stone which was my orginal target as it’s the middle of healthly bmi. I’m wearing 10 on the top and 12 on the bottom. All my remaining fat is around my tummy so my waist to height ratio isn’t any where near the healthy range so now I’m aiming for around 9 stone.

Zempy · 07/12/2025 19:55

I’m just over 5ft 4. Started at 13:8 and I’m now 8:4

OneThirdLess · 07/12/2025 23:50

I'm 5'5" and a size 10, I'm 9st 7lbs and been maintaining around that for a few months. I'd been size 18 and 15 stone.

I aimed for 10 stone initially and then dropped a bit more to get my waist/height ratio in the healthy zone.

clubsspadesdiamondshearts · 07/12/2025 23:51

5’5 and I feel I’m healthiest between 54kg and 59kg

Pavementworrier · 07/12/2025 23:55

How come all of you at healthy weights are receiving injections? (I do think they should be available for everyone because of the various health benefits aside from weight loss but I thought it was really hard to get them if not obese)

SilenceInside · 08/12/2025 00:04

@Pavementworrier the qualifying criteria are a starting weight that is in the obese range (30 or higher, or 27 or higher for certain ethnicities) or in the overweight range of 27 or higher with a weight related health condition. Once you start taking the medication, you can continue to take it until you are in the healthy weight range. That’s kind of the point of taking it. You can also continue to take it in order to maintain your weight, if you need to and you’re not L soju any more weight and getting into the lower end of healthy.

People have posted their starting weights on this thread.

We were overweight and were prescribed medication, but you can choose to continue to take the medication indefinitely for weight maintenance, even when a 'healthy' BMI.

EveryDayisFriday · 08/12/2025 00:17

I'm 5ft4 (163cm) and down to 10st4 from 15st5. I'm a curvy hourglass and currently a 12-14 bottom and 10-12 top, Bra = 32E from size 20, 38GG bra.

PurpleCoo · 08/12/2025 06:33

Gosh it's interesting isn't it, the difference in sizes at different weights.

I am 5'4 and weigh 67.5kg, which translates into around10st 9 I believe. I am mostly a 10 now. Sometimes a 12. However I exercise a lot, including weights, so I am quite muscular/toned (always exercised a lot before MJ, but the weights have been since) and I am also an hourglass, so still have decent sized boobs and bum too with a small waist.

Oyi · 08/12/2025 10:21

I'm 165cm, have gone from 18st 9lb to 10st 4lb. Wearing size 10-12.

I want to lose another 7lb I think, just so I'm comfortably in the healthy BMI. Waist to height ratio is 0.45 which is right in the middle of healthy.

DGonMJ · 09/12/2025 07:55

I’m 165cm started at 79.8kg and now hover around 58-59kg, went from a tight 14 (16 really) to size 10. Also mixed ethnicity here so prefer to keep bmi below 23. Although I was happy at 64kg.
Have been maintaining same weight since September.

MistressRoydon · 09/12/2025 14:56

165 cm starting weight 12.5 stone now hovering a pound up and down at 9 stone 12 - been maintaining for 5 months on 5mg and very happy. Thought i wanted to lose more but at 60 i have some saggy skin and dont think my face can take losing any more. But am so glad I did this and grateful - I can’t see my self coming off any time soon bearing in mind the other emerging health benefits.

mjjourney · 09/12/2025 20:26

I’m 5ft 5

Started at 14st 11 (size 16/18) and currently at 10st 3lbs and a comfortable size 12 (not actually tried a 10 as my brain can’t fathom it!)

goal weight is 9st 7lbs

Kazzaa46 · 10/12/2025 06:22

I’m 5 ft 5. I’m currently 10 stone 3 and am mostly wearing a size 12. I had originally planned for my target to be about 10 stone.

I have quite slim arms and legs now but still have more fat on my middle than I’d like. The curse of being apple shaped eek!

I’ve lowered my target weight to about 9 st 7. I’m hoping another 10lb will shift this stubborn belly fat as I don’t feel like there’s anywhere else I can lose it now 😆

MotherTuckinGenius · 10/12/2025 15:28

Another five foot fiver here and currently 9st 13 lb and size 10/12 down from 15st 3 lb and size 18/20. I’d like to get to 9st 10 lb eventually but for the moment am happy maintaining at this.
