Sorry this has been done on another thread but I'm intrigued as I'm trying to lose weight.
What weight are you if you are 5'3".?

I'm 10.7 and I'd like to be 9.7

I'm 5ft3 and currently 10st7, was 11st1 3 weeks ago. I haven't got a set target weight but aiming for around 9 stone.

Lebranic · 19/05/2016 12:24

5ft 3, currently 9.2ish but need to be 8.7 to feel good. Very small frame carrying a lot of excess weight on hips and thighs. Would need to eat very little though and have a healthy appetite! Eat the same as my 6ft 3 dh most days!

Iamblossom · 19/05/2016 12:30

I'm 5ft 3.5 inches.

Was 9 stone 5 pounds forever, then did 5:2 and am now 8 stone 8 pounds, maintaining by doing 6:1. Lowest adult weight was 8 stone 4 pounds when I was strict 5:2 but have relaxed it a bit. I love being this weight.

Am 41 if that has a bearing.

Roomba · 19/05/2016 12:45

I'm 5'2". Currently weigh 8st 8lb but have put on about 8lb recently due to mostly stopping BF when my appetite hasn't reduced yet.

The heaviest I've been (outside of pregnancies) is about 10st, which was too much for me personally. I was very pear shaped too so had an big arse and thighs at that weight.

Thinnest I've been was about 7st 2lb - but everyone said I was too thin at that weight. I still had a bottom, but my breasts vanished and I looked very gaunt faced. You could see all my ribs and spine.

UpOnDown · 19/05/2016 16:42

I'm 10 stone 5, want to get down to 9 stone at least.

Wheresthattomoibabber · 19/05/2016 16:46

I am 15 stone. Clothes size 18 on bottom, varying on top. At 12 stone I am a 12 on bottom.

MegBusset · 19/05/2016 16:53

I'm 9st 10lb, trying at the moment to get below 9st 7lb which is a comfortable size 10 for me. The lowest I've ever been as an adult was 8st 7lb about 14 years ago, I lost a lot of weight due to illness and it didn't suit me. I would lovE to stick at 9st but would have to eat like a bird to maintain it and i like food and wine too much to bother.

windygales · 19/05/2016 17:45

Forgot to say I'm 10/12 in Next clothes, L at H&M.
I'm feeling rather tubby at the mo. Got a gut and feel like it's unhealthy! But after 2 kids it's inevitable.

I'm also 5"3 and 13 stone Blush. I am working on it though and I'm happiest at around 10 stone. I do think I carry it pretty well, I'm a 14-16 clothes.

MsColouring · 19/05/2016 20:08

11lb. Have lost about a stone and a half over the last two months. Trying to keep that trend going.

MNetter15 · 19/05/2016 20:14

I was 9 stone 2lbs on the scales this morning, 2 lb's more than I'd like. I can stay around 9 stone relatively easily, but have to work hard to go under it (exercise and fairly restrictive with what I eat). I think I looked best at 8stone 12 or so, but just enjoying eating that bit extra at the moment.

I was over 13 stone at my heaviest.

RaisingSteam · 19/05/2016 20:18

A bit over 11st, 9st would be my ideal. I fit into size 14 at generously sized places like M&S. IIRC the healthy range is between about 8 and 10 stone at our height isn't it? Quite a lot of room for variation.

waterfallsandmountains · 19/05/2016 20:18

I'm 5ft 3" and weigh 7.5 stone and take a size 6 in clothing

TotalConfucius · 19/05/2016 20:28

I'm 5'3" and 11st7 at the moment. But I'm heavily muscled and also blessed with a huge chest which doesn't diminish with weight loss. I look ridiculous at anything under 10st, really like a caricature. I'm still in the process of losing 5 months of winter stews, lost only 4lbs in weight but nearly 5 inches round my middle, which is just the muscle tightening up again.

FiveShelties · 19/05/2016 20:29

I am 5ft 4ins and am delighted to be 9st 13lbs and a size 12 - have been trying to get back below 10 stone for 2 months. Have been 13.7 at my heaviest and 9.7 at my lowest. Would love to be 9.7 again - one day ........ Smile

Autumnchill · 19/05/2016 21:00

5'3 and as of this evening 11st 12lbs

Dontlaugh · 19/05/2016 23:39

My own experience at this size is that if I go over a certain number then I look way bigger - it's part of being this small, and I am particularly small boned and petite, there is no way I could carry 10st nor even 9st.
I feel healthy and good at 7 st +, but think I could benefit from perhaps weight training or similar, I'd love to be stronger, muscle would benefit me I think. I am 40 this year if that informs.

madmother1 · 19/05/2016 23:41

9st 10lb. I lost a stone last year and have kept it off. Just need to lose a few more pounds.

Aducknotallama · 20/05/2016 06:54

9st and aiming for 8st 7lbs. I was 12st 8lbs two years ago though so not unhappy with how I look, I train 6 times a week so am fairly muscly.

Pinkvici22 · 20/05/2016 07:01

I'm just over 5'3" and currently weigh 9 st 12lbs, aiming to lose about 10lbs in the next 6 weeks. 9.2 is my ideal - any smaller I don't look good. I'm quite muscly (arms and legs) and hourglass figure.

SusannahD · 20/05/2016 07:04

I'm 5ft 2. I weigh 8st 7lb, I was around 10 stone but have lost this weight gradually over a couple of years through eating more healthily. I now seem to be maintaining at this weight through continuing to eat well with treats a few times a week. I'm comfortable at this weight.

RiverWhy · 20/05/2016 07:09

Another lb down, so 11 12 today, Im sooo hefty!

NapoleonsNose · 20/05/2016 07:11

I'm 5'3" and currently 13.7 which is waaaay too heavy. At my lowest I was 10.1 which made me a size 10. Currently a 14/16 with huge norks. I'm a work in progress and would be happy to get back to around 10 1/2 stone.

Mothersruin75 · 20/05/2016 07:14

I'm 5ft 3 and 3/4s!! I'm currently 11st 10! I was 13st 12 at the start of the new year. I am far too heavy and look large. I should have gone into a size 16 at my heaviest but actually having to squeeze myself into a 14 was the kick I needed. I look good (large 10/ small 12) between 9st & 9st 7 so I'm hoping to get there.

Hamiltoes · 20/05/2016 07:18

5'3 and 8.5 stone, I'd like to be around 9-9.5 as thats when I'm a small ten and I'm really booby so think I look best at that.. Its hard though.
