How much do you weigh

I'm wondering how much other people weigh in comparison to their height?

I think I kid myself sometimes that I'm tall(ish) and plenty of other people are my size, so looking for some inspiration/ a reality check!

I'm 5'7 and 14 stone. Size 16-18 in trousers. Following slimming world at hope to get back down to around 10 stone but my first mini goal is to lose a few more pounds and get out of the obese Bmi category Confused

I'm 5ft3 and I'm 9 stone 6, want to loose another half stone and come in 9 stone or just below. I know 9 stone 6 isn't large by any means but I was 8 stone before falling pregnant... Probably alittle too slim looking back now, so I think just under 9 stone would be my happy medium.

I'm 5"4 and 9 stone 10, and where size 10-12.
I was 12 stone 3 6 months ago and a size 16. I could try and lose a bit more weight but I've bought myself lots of lovely new clothes and want to wear them! After being overweight my whole life, I'm thrilled to be able to fit into regular sizes.

I’m 5’2 and 13st 5.

I’m a comfortable size 16 but creeping into the 18’s. I was 14st 11 a few years ago and low carbed and got to around 12st 7 which is still heavy but I felt so much better. It’s creeping back on. I eat well in the week but weekends is like a green light to eat and drink whatever I like. I also sit down al day at work. I need to get back on track or I will have spent all of my life fat (I’m 46 so have missed the best years of being slim enough to wear lovely clothes) 😞

PineappleTart · 15/05/2019 08:17

I'm 5'5" and I weigh 16 stone. Have recently lost a stone & trying to change eating habits to lose more

BrillyPribble · 15/05/2019 08:20

I'm 5"10 and 14st 4.5 (14.7 a week ago!). I'm a definite size 18 round the waist now because it's all on my stomach.
I've just started using MFP to track food, I'd like to lose 2 stone.

BillywigSting · 15/05/2019 08:21

4'10 and 12.5 stone.

Heaviest I've ever been (including when pregnant) and feel like a blimp.

Would like to loose around 3-4 stone. Somewhere between 8 and 9 is my comfortable weight. I look best at 7.5 but the lifestyle that is required to maintain the weight is utterly miserable.

Oysterbabe · 16/05/2019 20:54

5ft 4, 11st 1, size 14. I want to be around 10st as I'll be a 12 and I'm happy with how I look at that weight.

moonbells · 16/05/2019 21:40

Another 5'7 10st size 12.

Last year I lost almost 6st (had been 15st 4 and size 20-22) and though a bit of a wobble since Easter I'm now back on track for 9st 7 again by end June. That's the main lesson I learned - don't let it get too far out of control before going back on the wagon.

When I was younger (I'm post-meno and 51) I used to be an old size 12 at this weight. That's two modern sizes smaller. Same person, same weight. And I'm probably fitter than in my 20s (parkruns etc - another thing I discovered last year). Go figure.

So whoever noted that frame makes a massive difference, so does age, whether you've had DC and post-weight loss body composition.

beela · 16/05/2019 22:45

5'3 (and a half!), 9.5 stone size 10.

I was 12.5 stone and pushing a size 16 two years ago.

I'm happy at this weight, but would like to lose a couple of lb before we go on holiday so that I don't have to lose them when we get back Grin would much rather be in credit.

TroysMammy · 16/05/2019 22:48

Quarter of an inch under 5ft and 9st 2lb. I feel and look like a little fat blob.

IHaveBrilloHair · 16/05/2019 22:51

5 foot and 6 stone 12.
I need to gain weight and am seeing a dietician about it next week.

5'3" 9st3. I've lost about two stone since having second baby in September by breastfeeding and running with a double buggy, no dieting (the opposite Blush)
I don't know what I'm going to do when I stop feeding her, as I'm getting used to my spare calories! I'm loathe to cut down on food now but probably should before I go back to work. She's not a good sleeper though so I crave carbs and sweet stuff. Same with my first but I didn't lose weight with her, really.
I'd like to be 8st10 ideally but that old expression that you need to choose between your arse and your face past a certain age is true, more like arse and neck in my case Hmm

Lookingforadvice123 · 17/05/2019 06:43

I'm 5"6-7 and currently 11 stone 9, but I had a baby 12 weeks ago and still have over a stone to lose! Pre-baby this time round I was 10 stone 7 ish, and at that weight I'm a size 10, I would say I look slim to average at that size. At a few lbs lighter (10 stone 2 ish) I'm still a size 10 but look really slim.

beela · 17/05/2019 07:06

@LaPufalina I was thinkng about that expression about arse re face the other day, it is so true! I feel like it's a very fine balance.

GinUnicorn · 17/05/2019 07:07

5,8 and 9.8 stone.

I used to be 9.4 pre baby so some work still to do!

Iris1654 · 17/05/2019 07:10

5ft 6
8.5 stone.

I’m the lightest I’ve been in years! It’s Bloody loving seeing hip bones😀

Amibeingdaft81 · 17/05/2019 07:14

5’7

7 stone 6

Scrawny (I write this as I stiff my fave with granola and almond milk!)

Marlena1 · 17/05/2019 07:17

5 ft 7 and I weigh 10 st 10 lbs. Had a baby 7 months ago and really struggling to loose it. I blame being so stuck with her. Wanna be around 10 stone which is actually perfect for me.

Pizzaaddict · 17/05/2019 07:19

5’8 9st 3

Parsley65 · 17/05/2019 07:22

I'm 5'6'' and 12 st 7 lbs.

I had a baby 16 years ago and am really struggling to lose the extra pounds Blush

MenstruatorExtraordinaire · 17/05/2019 07:28

I’m 5ft 7 and weigh 12 stones, currently a size 14. Am aiming for 10 1/2 stone, but would be happy with 11st in reality. When I'm 11 stone I'm a comfortable size 12.

I've only ever once got down to 10 stone for my wedding and it was a brief visit.
