what's your weight if you're 5ft6?

[almostenglish]

I'm interested to compare really. I'm not huge at 9.5st but would be happier at 9st.

Anyone else around that weight trying to lose half a stone?

[ThisShitIsBananas]

I wonder if it's slightly biased towards those who weigh towards the lower end of the scale!

10st 13lb on track to get down to my comfortable weight of 10st 7lb started when DD was 8 weeks, she's now nearly 14 weeks

[n0ne]

5'3" and 11st. After bfing my DD for a year I got down to 9st 6lb and felt fantastic but after she weaned and I could drink booze with impunity, it piled back on again. Ah well, I'm big-boobed so it looks OK. I'm still a size 12 on a good day

[almostenglish]

It's interesting to hear all the different weights and also the differences in how we feel. As someone said, it goes to show how the BMI is a bit outdated and perhaps irrelevant.

I used to be a bit over 8st and felt great. I don't think 8st is realistic but 8.5st probably is; so really it's 1st I'm looking to lose.

I'm thinking of doing the Metabolic Balance Diet, a friend of mine did it and she raves about it. I don't want to do a crash diet where i have to starve myself eating shakes, I need real food and a plan I can sustain for good!

I'm 5ft5 (so a tiny bit shorter) and weigh 8st7, I wear a size 10/12. I have slim arms and legs but carry any extra weight around my stomach and start to look 'thick' at 9stone.

[BrandNewAndImproved]

I'm 12 St and size 12. When I'm 11St I'm a size 8 on top and 10 on bottom.

I've got muscly legs, wide hips and big bones. Anything under 11 I look weird and my bones really stick out.

[Gowgirl]

I'm between 8.5 and 9 stone but I have been as low as 7..... I'm a really bad example as I don't eat properly at times....

[Detailsoverleaf]

5 foot 7 tall
Weight 9 stone 9
Dress size 6

I'm sporty / muscular though

[KayJBee]

I'm 5'5.5". In my 20's was 8st.2 up to around 9 st.
3 kids later I'm now 10 stone, have been up to 10.5.
I'd like to get back to 9.2 and see what I look like. If I don't look too gaunt, then I'd like to be under 9st.

[Stoneagemum]

I've been as low as 7.7 which was underweight all bones and no chest and as high as 13.6 when I looked like a barrel on stilts as all my weight goes to my middle.

Currently 9 stone, I prefer 8.8 as then my belly can resemble flat, but to do this I need to watch what I eat at the weekends as well as during the week and I can't keep that up for a prolonged period of time.

[LaGattaNera]

5 foot 6 and 9 stone 10
I'm a size 8 - 10 but I do alot of running and body pump which I do think pulls me in so to speak

[searchingfortheanswer]

I am 5'5 and currently about 9st 12 I think, baby #3 is now 5 months. I am a size 10 all over at the mo. Pre preg I was 9st or a shade under. I am best at about 8st 10 - though some people would prob say that is v or too slim based on what I've read here (though I would disagree)

[QuimReaper]

9st 3 ish and look flabby as anything. 9st is acceptable, 8.5 ideal. I carry all of it in a huge spare tyre, flabby upper arms and a somewhat fuzzy jawline

Fascinating thread! I'm trying to diet myself back into the 8s for my wedding dress. Had a fitting today and it looked awful.

[QuimReaper]

I'm getting into the size 10s over 9 st 2. Funny how we all carry it so differently.

[peasareevilcreatures]

I'm 10.7 and slowly losing, I'd like to be 9.10. I'm an hourglass shape and fit into a size 12 (my old clothes before vanity sizing) or 10 (anything new I buy!)

[chickindude]

I'm 5 6 and 3/4
A very important 3/4 I weigh around 8.7
I am at my happiest at 8.4
I have been as low as 7.10 but that was years ago.
I find if I go over 8.8 I feel fat. I am a size 8 in most things. I have a fair amount of muscle, but have a real pear shape. Skinny arms & legs though.

[grumpysquash3]

I'm 12 St and size 12. When I'm 11St I'm a size 8 on top and 10 on bottom.

I am just under 5 foot 7 and about 11 stone. I am straining into my size 14 jeans :( At 10.5 stone I fit in a size 14 nicely. On the rare occasion I have been under 10 stone, I can sometimes fit a 12, but not often.

I have never been an 8 or 10, even as a teen. It's really amazing how bodies vary, for the same weight and height!

[BrandNewAndImproved]

Grumpy it's really strange how we can be the same height and so different at the same weight.

I carry my weight on my bum legs and hips. Once I slim down to 11 and a half to 11 I end up with deflated boobs, collar bones to catch rain water in ect but clothes look nicer on me and my thighs don't jiggle in shorts.

Hmm I wonder if bones and muscle weigh different to different people.

[Iwantawhippet]

Now 9 stone 7. I measured myself recently and discovered that in Hobbs I am 12 hips, 10 waist and 8 chest. I am a pear. I'd like to loose a bit more and am 5:2ing. I used to be 11 stone 2 and 14.

[ALaughAMinute]

9 stone but I'm very small boned and don't look my best if I put on move than a few pounds.

[houseeveryweekend]

im 5'6 and am just over 11stone..... i used to be just over 14 though!!! ive been going to slimming world. My goal weight is 9 stone. x

[Cleebope]

About 9 stone 10, sometimes less. I once got down to 8,6 and everyone told me I was too thin and looked unwell and older, so I promptly ate my way back up! But I have massive boobs so I would like to be 9 stone but it takes a LOT of effort! Too lazy now.

[duckwalk]

I feel huge compared to most of you all my adult life I have been 9.5st - 10st. I'm now 11st 8lbs and hate it. Look absolutely horrendous. Used to quite like how I looked but have no confidence now. Sounds big headed (please trust me, I'm not) but I'd occasionally get a second glance or a horn beep but can't remember the last time now. Tried most diets but I'm convinced it's my antidepressant?

[SpecialSnowflake]

5' 6.5" here, and around 11st, size 14.

Trying to lose weight by small changes, and totally failing due to poor self control.
I'd like to get back to 9.5st, as that suits me best. Under 9st I look bony and it doesn't suit me.
People generally think I'm slimmer than I am as I have skinny wrists/ankles, winter is flattering for me!

[ladylambkin]

I'm 14 stone just now. My lowest after children was 10 5 and I looked gaunt and ill looking. Perfect weight for me is between 11 and 11 and a half this makes me a big 12/small 14.
