5'7" and 14 stone. I am at my fattest ever. Feel it too. Would like to be about 11.5 stone. After having DS1 6 yrs ago I was 12 and a half stone and looked great!

Size 18/20 on top.
Size 14/16 trousers/skirts.
Yes, 2 sizes smaller below than above.

But I have nice ankles and a pretty face!

elliott · 08/03/2006 12:15

5' 4" about 9st (prefer to be just below!)
Agree about the dress sizes. as a teenager I weighed more like 8st 7 and was borderline 10/12 - now I'm always a 10 for trousers!

cutekids · 08/03/2006 12:16

5'41/2 - 9st but trying to get to my normal weight of 8.3lbs in the next 6 weeks.

I just need to get my arse on the cross trainer for an hour a day - did it before and shall do it again, if only I can prise the Walkers away from me.

maisiemog · 08/03/2006 20:19

I don't think the weight thing is crucial here, obviously there is a big range of healthy weight to height ratio, dependent upon build.
If you are exercising and building muscle your weight may not vary, but your measurements may be very different.
Maybe we should post measurements - but I'm scared to look. Shock

Cutekids

why would anyone say any horrible comments?

I wouldn't dream of saying anything to anyone about their weight

Ok, my Sister and i do have a joke about our weight, but thats allowed!!

Losing weight is the 2nd hardest thing I have ever done (bringing up my twin girls and one having SN is the hardest!)

I have lost large amounts or weight twice and put it back on Sad

Not brave enough to put my weight down!! It's somethign I don't tell ANYONE!!!!

anniebear · 11/03/2006 21:22

Measurements Shock

Hold on, will just go and cellotape 2 or 3 tape measures together lol lol Grin

serenity · 11/03/2006 21:29

Only posting to support lazycow (you're not the heaviest!)

5'10, about 16 stone(ish) and an 18/20, but I'd be happy to be a 14 - any smaller than that would be unhealthily light for my height (and too short in the arms and legs Wink )

Far too lazy to lose weight though.

flutterbee · 11/03/2006 21:34

Lazycow - I'm heavier than you (much heavier) but obviously not as brave as you because I won't put my details down here.

I made a decision at the begining of the year to do 2 things quit smoking and loose weight, smoking was the most important so I have done that, I now haven't smoked for 9 weeks. Now as soon as I move to my new house (hopefully next month or so) I shall be on my diet dropping the pounds.

goreousgirl · 11/03/2006 22:05

5ft 5 - 10st 5lbs and on the rise! Aghh - help!

Size 14.

3.5 years ago was 12st, then got to 9st 2lbs (loved it) - got pregnant, managed to get back down to 9st 8lbs and now back up to 10st 5lbs - so totally despondent and gutted!

Sorry if you're reading this thinking 'why is she telling us all this?' !!! Just getting it off my chest.

foundintranslation · 11/03/2006 22:14

Am 5'1 and a bit over 9st (9st 3 or thereabouts). Used to be 7st 10ish pre-pg. On top I'm a 10-12 atm (minuscule norks despite bf), at bottom I'm a 12-14. Wouldn't mind losing a few lbs (8st something would be nice) but not unhappy as such.

evansmummy · 21/03/2006 18:56

5'4 and 11 st 4. Baby and quit smoking weight. before, when I didn't even dream of being mum and smoked and drank coffee endlessly, I weigh 8 st 12. Am dreaming (vainly) of getting it back. Have lost a stome with Slimming World. So far.

Tinker · 21/03/2006 19:00

5'6" and under 9 stone atm, not sure what I am really. Have dropped from a 12 to a 10

size 16
Sad!!!

hellywobs · 30/08/2006 14:58

I'm just under 5 foot 4 and weight 9 stone 10 so my BMI is only 23.5 or so and I am not overweight. BUT my waist is 32 inches which apparently means I have a much higher chance of getting type 2 diabetes. So I am trying to lose inches not weight. I am however trying to eat very sensibly and not snack and have signed up for some swimming lessons to start in September My aim is to have a waist of 30 inches by Xmas.
