Ok, I'd say a size 20-22 and approx 18 stone if I'm brutally honest.

redbedheadd · 01/05/2019 18:11

Size 16/18 and 15 stone?

Good luck on your wellbeing journey xx

CitadelsofScience · 01/05/2019 18:11

God people are rude. The Op knows she needs to loose weight, all her other tactics have failed so she's trying something else.
If you don't agree with the way she's trying to get motivated then jog on instead of criticising Hmm

Elena1986 · 01/05/2019 18:11

14 stone and size 16/18

All the best with your weight loss journey, I'm currently in the middle of mine and Slimming world has been excellent xx

Herland · 01/05/2019 18:11

@Cycling what's that website.

Littlechocola · 01/05/2019 18:12

Your outfit is so unflattering that even if I wanted to guess I couldn’t.
I’m not going to try because I think you are being very unkind to yourself.

MagicKeysToAsda · 01/05/2019 18:13

Speaking as someone who's been there, and because you asked for honest, I will say 16-17 stone, size 20. I think though that people who have previously been heavy (definitely me, and still a work in progress ) can find it easier to assess what another heavy person might weigh. So much varies from person to person though.

Come on over to the weight loss chat section - help and support of all varieties there!

Battie · 01/05/2019 18:13

I'm 17st 5. :)

I don't really do clothes so this I just have multiples of this dress and another black h&m dress then I wear different kimonos to hide under

This has been really helpful.

I'm definitely going to join the weightloss groups here

Well basing it on my dd who is the same height as you I’d say you weigh 15/16 stone and are a size 18/20 .

Floralnomad · 01/05/2019 18:15

X post , good luck with it OP .

NoBaggyPants · 01/05/2019 18:15

First thing on your weight loss journey, go to Bravissimo and get fitted for a bra that fits you properly. You'll look a size smaller just by doing it.

I'm not joining in on the weight thing, it's not going to help you at all.

By posting on a public forum and asking randoms to guess your weight when you're clearly unhappy about it is not a healthy way to encourage you to lose weight. Sure, take a photo, keep it on your phone or stick it to the fridge. But doing it this way must be very upsetting.

Battie · 01/05/2019 18:16

I can't afford a bravissimo bra. This is a £5 asda one I treated myself to 😂

ImpossibleNovelty · 01/05/2019 18:16

Gosh, I was going to go for 14st. I clearly have a bad baseline then! Good luck with your weighloss OP.

Battie · 01/05/2019 18:17

I'm not upset at all.

I don't think a single person has been rude.

mintleafteaa · 01/05/2019 18:17

Just came in to say good luck OP. Many many women have been where you are now. You can do it.

Bluntness100 · 01/05/2019 18:18

I think I was close, but only because I have a close friend who is about the same size as you, she's only five foot, and she was about 16 stone. So I had a base line.

She's lost nearly three stone on slimming world and is doing great.

Justmuddlingalong · 01/05/2019 18:19

Neither do I OP. But CitadelsofScience seems to think so. Good luck with your journey. The weight loss threads are where you'll find the support you want.

Battie · 01/05/2019 18:19

Thankyou mint x

@Battie If you want to lose weight you can do it, I was 15st 2 years ago..I'm 9st 7 now. It's doable, good luck.

BlueMerchant · 01/05/2019 18:20

I was going to guess 5'2 13stone 16/18 clothes.
Good luck with your weight loss. I certainly wouldn't have said you were the weight you are.

Bluntness100 · 01/05/2019 18:21

Theee is always one poster on every thread who comes on and tells everyone to fuck off. Just ignore it,

Good luck op, most of us have struggled with our weight at some point or another. For me low carbing works, and doing exercise to stay motivated,

WindsweptEgret · 01/05/2019 18:21

Over 100kg and plus size, size 18+. Only really know what 70kg looks like at your height, so just a guess really.

BlueMerchant · 01/05/2019 18:21

Just saw 5'5Blush

ParadiseInDisguise · 01/05/2019 18:22

You can be anywhere between size 14 to 18. Definitely over 80kg weight wise, but under 100kg.
