Just under 5’8 and I’m 103kg, shedding it at the moment.

Piplette · 18/02/2020 20:52

I'm 5'7 and currently 12 stone 10 four months post partum. Pre pregnancy I was 11st 7 so that's my initial goal.

When I was younger and before children I sat between 10 and 10 1/2 stone but that is but a distant memory now!!

TheWordmeister · 18/02/2020 20:54

I am a smidge under 5'8 and I like to weigh around 9 st 7 or less.

TankGirl97 · 18/02/2020 21:07

I'm 5'8 and weigh 9st 10lb (61kg). I'm pretty comfortable where I am, a size 10. Pre-kids I used to like being between 9st and 9 st 7, when I wear size 8/10, but three children later I can't be bothered to work out enough to maintain that.

Youngatheart00 · 18/02/2020 21:07

I’m just a smidge under 5ft 7 and 10st definitely my ‘best’ weight. I’m a way off it at the moment.

Bringringbring · 19/02/2020 10:36

Extremely underweight here at 5’7 (can’t bring myself to write weight due ), but I’m trying Damn hard to put on weight and making slow progress. My dream is to reach 7 stone 10, and then that will make 8 stone seem realistic.

Allcrimps · 19/02/2020 11:13

At 5'7 I look fairly chunky if I go above 9st3! I have a tiny frame though, no boobs, bum or hips. I'm currently just over 9st and would like to far to about 8st10. I have to stay fairly lean and light (but muscly!) for my sport too. I'd love to be able to carry a few extra lbs but I look so terrible (I just puff up! Moon face and no hint of a shape about me except for a round pregnant look belly). I envy women with hips and a waist.

Bless you @bringbringbring Flowers

Chienloup · 19/02/2020 19:28

I'm 5'7" and weigh 12st4. (Size 16). I would like to be 10 stone again, at which weight I am a 12-14.
Even at 8st 13 I was still a size 10-12. At 9st 7 I was a sz12 in most shops.

OhLook · 19/02/2020 19:31

I'm 5'8 with a quite narrow/boyish frame. I was always between 8-9 stone until my late 30s. Now I'm really 40s and nearly 11 after a lot of comfort eating. I feel hideously overweight for me. I would love to be 9 stone again.

OhLook · 19/02/2020 19:32

Sorry, I'm 5'7, not 5'8!

scotlandtobali · 19/02/2020 19:40

I'm 5"7 and weigh anything from 10st 12 to 11st 5, not sure 9st would suit me?

HarrietM87 · 19/02/2020 19:43

I’m 5’7 and 64kg at the moment which is a 12 for me. 60kg was my pre baby weight and a size 10.

jellybean85 · 19/02/2020 19:56

I'm 12st and would like to way 11 or just be under 70kg, that puts me comfortably ar size 12 which is what all my clothes are (currently a bit snug)

I'm muscular from sport so any less and I start to look a bit bony at the shoulders and collar bone, currently feeling a bit too cuddly and too cheap to basically go up a size for my whole wardrobe

Shodan · 19/02/2020 19:57

5'7 and three quarters here Grin

Currently 12st 7 (size 12-14) and dieting to get down to around 11 and a half stone ish. I have quite broad shoulders on an hourglass shape and a fair bit of muscle from many years of karate training, so I'd feel slim but not gaunt at that weight.

I was around 9 and a half stone after a break up twenty or so years ago and t wasn't a good look on me- I looked seriously undernourished.

champagneplanet · 19/02/2020 20:05

I'm 5'7 and 11 stone (have recently lost 6 lbs). I would like to be 10.5 stone and comfortably maintain it with regular exercise and a reasonably healthy diet.

For me personally anything below 10st would be too hard to maintain.

Mixitupalot · 19/02/2020 20:06

Oh good god, I was already feeling shit about my weight gain (1st 4lbs in 6 months 😳) DH just said are you sad today because your putting so much weight on!

Ffs yes I am actually.. anyway I am 5’8 and 12:4 so I need to get to 11st to be my target/comfortable weight. Now I feel like eating 10 chocolate bars and 5 cream buns.

dementedma · 19/02/2020 20:10

5’6 and 12 stone 5. Would like to be 11stone but first goal is to get under 12.

Purplecatshopaholic · 19/02/2020 20:13

It’s amazing how different we all are. I am 5f 6 and 8st 7. A small size 8. I look waaaay better at that than when I hit menopause and slowly crept up to over 11st. Just does not suit my build. I am much happier smaller.

AnneTwackie · 19/02/2020 20:14

The same as you!

wehaveafloater · 19/02/2020 20:18

5'7" currently 165lbs aiming for 147lbs

99problemsandthecatis1 · 19/02/2020 20:28

Currently 12 stone 6. Want to be 10st 4 but I was last that in 2013. I think 11st is more realistic for me now.

BrassicaBabe · 19/02/2020 20:33

Ooh, v interesting!

5'7 and currently 10.5. That leaves visible rolls with a tight t-shirt. (Currently something I'm v pissed off with. Another story) Like to be 9.10-9.13.

If I get to around 9.8 or lower I look old! (46). Face or arse appears to be true for me 🤦🏻‍♀️

MozzchopsThirty · 19/02/2020 20:38

I'm currently 10st 1 which is far too big for me, due to Xmas and 2 holidays

My goal weight is 9st, fasting and exercise solid!!!!
