I'm 5 ft 7 but when I was 11 stone I felt overweight, yes.

Emma765 · 22/08/2018 16:56

I'm 5 ft 5 and not 11st at the moment but when I was i didn't feel overweight.

DunesOfSand · 22/08/2018 16:58

It's my target weight. My mum (same height) is overweight at that point. I need to be nearly a stone heavier than her to fit the same clothes.

Kingkiller · 22/08/2018 17:00

Yes, a bit. That's pretty much exactly what I am and puts me at a size 14. I'd udeally be between 10 and 10.5 stone.

I’m 5 ft 6 and ten stone and I feel overweight.

PostNotInHaste · 22/08/2018 17:01

It’s my target weight, 5.5lbs to go.

ivenoideawhatimdoing · 22/08/2018 17:01

I’m five seven and eleven stone and I feel disgusting but then I see biscuits and it’s not so bad...

PostNotInHaste · 22/08/2018 17:02

It is going to depend hugely on body shape, frame and muscle I think.

WeShouldOpenABar · 22/08/2018 17:02

Yes I am right now overweight, I blame maternity leave, I prefer to be the other side of 10 7, I never manage under 10 gave up that dream years ago

user1471529986 · 22/08/2018 17:06

I’m 5.6 and 11.2 stone and I feel good and am the fittest I have ever been and a definite size 12. I have lost 2 stone this year. Could prob lose another stone look really good but happy that I don’t look overweight. Def must depend on body type etc reading the posts

Carrrotsandcauliflower · 22/08/2018 17:08

Im 11,6 and 5ft6 and I am overweight. Currently trying to sort that out.

JeremiahBackflip · 22/08/2018 17:09

I'm 5ft 7 and feel great at 11 stone.
I'm currently 12 stone and feel ok.

Singlenotsingle · 22/08/2018 17:11

I'm 5ft 6" and 11 at is my target weight. I'm a Size 12 at 11 stone, and look good. Or at least, I will do when I get there!

fbsg · 22/08/2018 17:16

Yes. I am 5ft6. I lost about a stone from 11 to 10 a couple of years ago and felt good. Since then I have swayed between under 10 by a few pounds to over by a few pounds and have generally felt ok about it, but recently I have crept up to 10st 8 and I am not happy about it.

I keep trying to change things but can't stick at it for long. Life is complicated at the moment but should be settling down soon and I will hopefully be doing something about it then.

Melfish · 22/08/2018 17:17

I’m almost at 11 stone and feel very blobby. Feel better around 10 stone: will start tomorrow or perhaps the day after.

sirmione16 · 22/08/2018 17:19

I'm exactly this, and no i don't. However my mums 5'7 and her ideal is always 10st4 soooo

It depends how happy you are when you look in the mirror not when you step on the scales

confusedcob · 22/08/2018 17:19

I'm 5'6 and 9 Stone. This is my ideal weight, I would feel very incomfortably wobbly at 11stone but it all depends on your build I think.

gamerwidow · 22/08/2018 17:20

Not because at 11 stone I’m not overweight. I feel fat at 12 stone though.

applesauce1 · 22/08/2018 17:23

I'm 5ft 8 and am usually 9.5 stone and a size 10. That's my comfortable ideal weight.

When I was 20, (living abroad and not doing a lot) my weight crept up to 11.5 stone and I felt really over weight. I was a size 12-14. I started getting dimply arms and felt really self conscious. Came home, went back to 9.5 stone and felt comfortable again.

It's a personal thing- I don't look at others who are 12-14 and think they're overweight, or think anything at all. But I personally feel overweight when I don't fit a size 10. I've always been very self critical...

feemee · 22/08/2018 17:24

Yes, I do.

Tryingtogetitright · 22/08/2018 17:29

I'm 5ft7 and 11stone is my usual weight. I like to be just under, and if I go over I try to cut down a bit. I'm a size 14 and happy with that, in an ideal world I'd be a 12 but I'm too lazy to diet!

OllyBJolly · 22/08/2018 17:32

I'm 5ft 7 and feel overweight if I get close to 10st. My ideal is around 9st7. Towards 9st I feel scrawny.

If I gain it's around my bum so clothes are tight, if I lose it's around my face

Everyone is different.

wildthingsinthenight · 22/08/2018 17:35

5ft 6 and 11 stone and yes I feel overweight

shapeshifter88 · 22/08/2018 17:37

I'm 5.7 11 stone and 22% body fat so can't be overweight
