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 5ft2 so hope that's allowes. Currently 10st3. Lost 11lbs since April half term by caloroe counting.

I did slim to 9st WW gold member etc. Felt too thin. Despite looking gaunt my overhang remained (it stood out more) and I was still untoned as did not exercise. I'm looking to get to 9st 7.

I'm 5'2 and currently 48/49 kg. I've lost 12 kg in the 12 weeks since giving birth, god knows how with the amount of crap I eat.

My natural weight (no diet no exercise) normally falls around 46kg- I have a tiny frame and am a weakling. When I exercised regularly I was 48kg.

I need to start exercising really, I have no tone to my body at all at the moment but I just can't be bothered. I hate exercise! ( I do walk 2 + miles most days though)

I'm 9'1 and aiming back to about 8'7. I have very heavy legs which on their own make me look much heavier than I am. I'm at the very top end of fitting size 10 just now.

Pre children (7 years ago) I was 8'2 and size 6. 3 years ago I was a lot fitter than now and a lot happier with my shape. For me my current weight is too heavy.

ArgyMargy · 20/05/2016 07:39

8.5 slim but not skinny. I have little in the way of boobs but I blame the DC as they were bigger before breastfeeding Grin

windygales · 20/05/2016 20:33

Mmm I'm thinking I need to lose weight. Might try WW

I'm 5'3" and about 9stone. Usually forgive myself a bit of weight due to my double Ds! Interesting to see how height and weight can be similar but dress size different. I'm a 10, but take 12 in skirts / trousers.

TrashPanda · 20/05/2016 20:51

I'm 7st 3 or there abouts at 26. Don't look skinny or scrawny as very petite and have plenty of wobbly bits after 2 kids. Would like to be heavier, think exercise and weight training would help but I don't have the motivation. My diet is terrible and I don't get enough sleep. Aim to be heavy enough to give blood.

BusyBea · 20/05/2016 20:55

12st 4. I've lost 3st 2lb since having my dd 2 years ago. Currently a comfortable size 14, down from a 20! I've never been smaller than a 14 in my adult life and I'd love to be another 2st lighter.

ArgyMargy · 21/05/2016 09:44

Angrycrisplady I'm amazed you're a 10/12 - is that UK size? I'm an 8 or a 6 in most high street shops.

ByTheSea · 21/05/2016 09:54

11st3lb. Would like to lose a bit more than a stone as big norks and always weigh heavy. Current size is 14 bottom 16 top. Maybe could go down a size but I don't like tight-fitting clothes.

justabigmess · 21/05/2016 10:12

9st1. Ive been trying to get to 8st7 for what feels like years the lowest i can get to 8st13 usually after a bout of illness.

I am so fustrated with it need to work harder i carry all my weight in my legs and bum to so just look huge at the moment.

I recently gained 5lbs and lost over the past couple of weeks but i know if i carried on i would not lose 5lbs in another month never mind a few weeks!

Sleepingonthebus · 21/05/2016 10:16

I'm 5'3" and currently 13st 1 and size 16. Was 15st 6 and size 20 at Christmas so weight loss going well. Not sure what weight I'm aiming for. I'm just so happy it's coming off at all.

mollie123 · 21/05/2016 10:18

I am 5' 1" and weigh 8 stone 10 lbs
I used to be 5'2" and weight 7 stone when I was younger - how can I lose an inch to age and weigh more Hmm. I was also a size 8
I don't understand how I can be size 10/12 for jeans and size 16 for chest (do boobs really weigh that much? Smile)

nipersvest · 21/05/2016 10:25

i'm 5ft 2 and am currently 9 1/2 stone, would like to get back to 9st as i've put on the half stone since christmas.

Sanchar · 21/05/2016 10:30

I'm between 5'3" & 5'4"😯
I'm 11.7 and want to get down to 9st(ish)

Diet is fine, been sticking to 1500cal a day but no weight loss. I'm joining a gym next week to start a weight training regimen in hopes that it'll melt the fat away!

mayoketchupchocolate · 21/05/2016 10:37

I'm 5'3 and I'm 12.6. I was 13.3, but I've been doing slimming world so have lost a bit. It's been a lot slower progress than I'd like though, taken about 2 months. I really want to get to 10 stone and then reassess what I feel like at that weight.

Wheresthattomoibabber · 21/05/2016 19:53

I never win anything! I am the fattest! Sad

SpunBodgeSquarepants · 21/05/2016 20:03

Wheresthattomoibabber, err I think I win this thread! Sad

Hiddlesnake · 22/05/2016 06:30

I'm 5'3 and a half (a very important half!)
Middle of March I weighed 16st 1lb. I'm now down to 14st 6lb.
I was in size 20 trousers and 24 tops but now I'm 16 trousers and 18/20 tops. I have very muscular legs and arms due to the work I do and 3 times a week Combat Conditioning classes, but also have massive norks!
Hoping to get down to 13st by August (summer holiday in Florida!) and then 10st by Christmas.
So I've already managed my "half a stone in May" but still have a long way to go!

puppydogmummy · 22/05/2016 12:44

Hiddlesnake that's great going! I'm glad you posted as everyone else seems so tiny compared to me. I'm 5'2 and 15 stone, big in the boobs but huge in the tummy. I'm trying SW again and would be happy at 10.5 stone.

Hiddlesnake · 22/05/2016 13:18

It's not been as hard as I expected Puppydogmummy . I've been doing Weight Watchers (the app is very good) but it's mostly been about making better choices.
My legs are quite skinny and muscular compared to the postbaby tummy and huge boobs but I'm hoping the next few stone will even me out a bit!

Ilovewillow · 22/05/2016 13:21

5"2 and 8st, 7lbs! Most of it around the bun and hips!

SickRose · 22/05/2016 13:31

Ok this has just confused me more. I'm 5'3. And I weigh 13 stone! Which is so much heavier than a lot of you but I wear a size 12/14. How is this even possible?!
