I'm 5ft 8, I like to be around 10st 3 a 10st 7. Sound heavy but I'm quite broad so look very skinny if I weigh any less. At 10st 7 I'm a size 6-8 bottom 12 top.

When I went on a diet my mum suggested I aim for 9 stone. I had to tell her I would look malnourished at that weight! She is 4ft 11 though so I don't think she had much concept about what I should weigh! Grin

I am 5ft 5 and 8stone 13. I was 9.11 last November and hated it. i feel much better at this weight, I wouldn't mind being 8.7.

DownWithThisTypeOfThing · 15/06/2015 06:50

The lightest I've ever been as an adult is 10st and I was a size 10 (except my waist which was an 8). That would be really heavy for most of you on this thread and probably a fantasy weight for me rather than a target weight!

I weighed myself this morning in my dressing gown and was 10 stone 1 lb....i am really happy with that.....would feel really good at 91/2 stone.....i am in a size 10 top and 12/14 bottoms x

My ideal weight is 7.5 stone as that is when I've looked my best as an adult.

I'm barely 5"1 and very petite - tiny wrists/neck etc.

MugsLife · 16/06/2015 17:57

I was just about to write the same thing DownWith. 10st is the lowest I've been as an adult. Now I'm 11st9 and need to lose a stone to get a healthy weight. I'm 5ft5. I'm aiming for 10st, although I think 9st would be good.

postmanpatscat · 16/06/2015 19:04

I'm 8st 6 and 5ft 4. My pre two weeks of all inclusive holiday weight is 8st to 8st 2. I have tiny wrists and a persistently skinny ribcage. If I gain it's all on my tummy bum and thighs.

5' 9" and my ideal weight is 10.5 stone.

Am currently nearer 12. Which is still an improvement on this time last year when I was a good stone and a bit heavier. I was one of the WW product testers in the autumn lastyear, and it helped me shed 20 lbs. Then I stopped going. ):

At current weight I don't look overweight - am a larger frame. However eating has been bad recently and I have a belly which I didn't really have before.

On a mission to shed a stone (or as much as poss) before my summer hols. 6 weeks!

iwantgin · 17/06/2015 08:51

Ideal weight in my head is 10.5 stone.

My goal weight for Weight WAtchers - set by the leader - was 11.5 stone.

I'm 5'5" and weigh around 68kg at the moment, but was 66.5kg on my wedding day last month. Damn US honeymoon, lack of exercise and big portions! I've been as heavy as 100kg and as light as 59kg as an adult, but getting down to that light weight took a crash diet while working two jobs and it wasn't healthy for me. I'm generally at my healthiest when my BMI is around 23, but I'm closer to 25 at the moment and it needs to go!

I have a relatively large bust, small waist and carry a serious amount of muscle on my lower body - I grew up in competitive martial arts, got thunder thighs as a teenager and never lost them. I've become more built through the shoulders too in the last year or so because I'm swimming and lifting more than I used to be. Clothes-wise I am generally a size 10, up to a 12 in some tops for boob room and down to an 8 in A-line skirts that nip in on my waist and skim over the QUADS OF DOOM.

toffeeboffin · 19/06/2015 17:48

I'm 5'5 and around 9 stone 8, would like to get down a few pounds. I'm a size ten. It's good to see other people's goals.

It's odd, but my chest looks a bit scrawny but my tummy is still fat! I think a couple more pounds will be a good compromise.

hstar1995 · 05/07/2015 17:28

I'm 5'2 and 14 stone 13, would like to get down to 9 stone 8

twgal · 08/07/2015 19:41

I'm 5 ft 6 and I'd love to get to 9.3 st or even 9...

I'm currently 10.9 st, so that's a long way to go.

mimishimmi · 13/07/2015 02:18

I'm 5'4" and 130lbs (59kg). Coming down very slowly from a high of 80kg+ after my second child ... eight years ago Blush The weight I've felt best at was between 120-125lbs so aiming for that.

CharleyDavidson · 27/07/2015 21:50

I'm 5'6" and 13.8 Blush due to a)medication b)being inactive waiting for and then just after an operation on my hip and c) (most importantly) being a greedy person who loves food, cooking and the social aspect of eating out.

I've lost 4lb on the first week of properly thinking about losing weight and want to carry on at least until I see 11 stone 3 on the scales. It's the top of my healthy BMI and the lightest I've been as an adult. If/when I get there then I will re-evaluate.
