Just trying to establish rough target points. Was sitting at 10st6, on about 9st9 now so quite a bit still to go. Hoping to get to a size 8.
Thank you

I think size eight is ridiculously thin for 5ft 5in. I'd be happy with 10stone 6lbs personally.

Madbengalmum · 14/04/2018 15:37

Weight 9st size 8. I am not ridiculously thin believe me!

MemoriesOfAnotherFuture · 14/04/2018 15:40

I’m 5 ft 5, I’m currently 9 stone 10 and my size ten clothes are on the tight side and I’d probably be more comfortable in a 12 just now. I’m fine with this weight but my ideal weight I like to be (for the summer) is between 8 Stone 7 and 8 Stone 10 at which I am a comfortable size 10 and can wear some size 8s.

Ickyockycocky · 14/04/2018 15:42

At a height of 5ft 5inches, 10stone 6lbs is considered a healthy weight on the BMI charts. Having said that, these charts aren't necessary correct as build and muscle weight aren't taken account of.

9 stone size 8. Slim but not ridiculously thin by any stretch of the imagination

IrenetheQuaint · 14/04/2018 15:43

Also 5'5 and weigh 9 stone. Size 10. Used to weigh 8 1/2 stone and make occasional half-arsed attempts to lose weight which collapse when offered chips or ice cream.

MrsLemonadeBrain · 14/04/2018 15:45

10st 7 x

MrsLemonadeBrain · 14/04/2018 15:45

Sorry that’s at a size 10
Feel a bit chubby ideally want to be 8-9 stone

Luckystar1 · 14/04/2018 15:46

I’m a size 6/8 and I weigh 8st 3lbs or so.

Justwaitingforaline · 14/04/2018 15:52

Size 6-8 and weigh 8st 2lbs give or take a few lbs depending on time of day

Saladd0dger · 14/04/2018 15:52

5.5ft and 10 stone 8 size 10. Can’t not drop a pound lower or I look to skinny

Justwaitingforaline · 14/04/2018 15:52

I’m also not ridiculously thin, I’m very much an hourglass shape

coffeecuppa · 14/04/2018 15:52

Bodies are strange!

5'5, 9st and a 10/12 (14 in H&M...) on the bottom half, 8 on the top.

At 7st 10lbs I was an 8/10 on the bottom half.

Such a pear...

EmmaC78 · 14/04/2018 15:54

I am 10 stone 6 and am a size 10 but verging on a 12.

WickedGirl · 14/04/2018 21:18

I’m 9 stone and a size 10

Bluntness100 · 14/04/2018 21:25

I think size eight is ridiculously thin for 5ft 5in. I'd be happy with 10stone 6lbs personally

Huh? That's the top end of a healthy bmi and verging on overweight.

MustBeThin · 14/04/2018 21:29

10st 3, I'm 8-10 on top and 10-12 on the bottom

BigGreenOlives · 14/04/2018 21:32

Dds & I are all 5’6”. Dd1 is 57kg and wears size 24 jeans, 23 inch waist, size 6 usually. Dd2 is 53kg size 25/26 jeans, don’t know what her waist size is, usually size 8 (has broader shoulders & is less hour glass). I’m 10 stone, 26/27 jeans, waist more like 30 inches. Size 10/12 (very busty). We all have size 5 ½ or 6 feet and can share shoes. I have the broadest wrists, about an inch bigger than dd1s. She however has the largest hands. So much variation.

rightknockered · 14/04/2018 22:14

I weigh around 9 stones, and am a size 4-6. I have size 5 feet, and quite broad shoulders/narrow hips, tiny wrists and ankles, narrow feet.

rightknockered · 14/04/2018 22:14

I work out a lot

wishingiwaslucky47 · 15/04/2018 13:47

I’m 5ft 5 currently weigh 11st 8lbs, and wanting to get down to 9st 4lbs. When looking back on pictures when I was 9st 4lbs in the past I still looked “chunky” in places but I think that’s because I’m naturally busty, but boy did I feel good at 9st 4lbs.

I’m really hoping I can get back down to that weight, but I’m 47 now and it might be too much for me.

oopsadaisy77 · 16/04/2018 07:57

i'll join, i'm probably 5"5 1/2 (was 5"6 but have shrunk). I looked my best at 9 stone 2lbs, but I was doing a lot of exercise (years ago) and my body fat was low. I currently weight 10 stone 2, body fat over 30% and I just look saggy and "big", yes my siblings are a little taller but weigh 10 stone and are tiny weeny.

Warsaw0912 · 16/04/2018 08:03

Size 6 - under 8st 9
Size 8 - 8st 10- 9st 4
Size 10 - 9st 4 upwards

I’m not really a pear shape but am much slimmer on top than round my hips/ bum/ thighs - at all of those weights I’d still be a 6-8 on top. And I rarely wear anything that’s fitted on the bottom - stick with skirts and dresses etc

dancemom · 16/04/2018 08:07

What a range!

I'm 5'4, got down to 9'9 wearing a size 8.

Have fluctuated back up to 10'4 but I'm still wearing my size 8 clothes

Desperately want to get back down to 9 something and ideally 9 exactly.

Nickynackynoodle · 16/04/2018 08:09

I’m 5’5” & probably 2.5 st overweight so following with interest. I’m quite muscly & when I go under 11st people tell me I look skinny so I have no idea.

As I said, 11st is a long way off yet. Today marks the first day of the first stone that’s coming off!
