12 stone at the moment. Finally managed to lose a few pounds by low carbing. Size 14-16 on the bottom and 12-14 on top.

I was recently at a photoshoot for clothes on average sized women and it was amazing the variation between us even all at a size 14 - turns out I have a long body and short legs.

I used to be a stone heavier and in 2021 I lost a stone. Not sure why but my weight seems stable now. Have definitely lost some muscle though.
I take HRT too which I think helps.

Way too much! I’m 5ft 2.5 inches & am around 14 to 15 stone (don’t know exactly as I threw my scales out ages ago & the guy who weighed me at the hospital in November said he couldn’t get an accurate reading). I’m happiest around 10 stone as I looked quite gaunt in the face when I was just above 9 some years back. Need to start exercising again as I haven’t been able to do much at all for a couple of years & I need to quit the demon drink.

I can't imagine anyone looking gaunt at 9 stone when they're only 5ft 2.

Are you sure you didn't have jealous friend/family member telling you this?

I am 2lbs into losing the 10 perimenopausal pounds that crept on over the past year. I'm happiest under 10st.

Roo84 · 04/02/2023 22:05

Pretty much the same as you OP.
37, 5ft 7 and 12st 11lb, size 14. I have yo-yoed in last few years down to 12st and back up again.
Still clinging onto hope that I will one day reach my wedding (and pre kids weight) from 10 years ago, which was 10 st 2. However that dream seems to be slowly slipping away...

10 stone bang on

I have to eat 1400 calories a day to stay at this weight.. or run a lot then I can eat a bit more.

Otherwise I gain weight slowly but surely

Well that’s quite an unpleasant comment.

People have different builds and bone structure you know?

RoseThornside · 04/02/2023 22:44

56, 5'7", 9 stone 3. I sometimes put on a few pounds (love cakes, love chocolate, love stodge) but I notice because my work trousers get a bit tight round the waist, so I cut back for a couple of weeks until they're comfortable again. Nowadays I'm a size 10 but in my 20s I was a size 12. Except I was slimmer in my 20s!

MuseThrower · 04/02/2023 22:50

5ft 7, 12st 6.

I occasionally manage to slim down to 11st, but I usually end up back here after a few months.

I eat very healthily, don’t drink at all and do plenty of exercise. I’m not prepared to eat any less than I do, so 12st 6 it is.

I’m 48 and on HRT.

I've lost a stone since getting treatment for a pituitary tumour.

PurpleFeather · 04/02/2023 23:08

I’m 5”8, mid thirties. Maybe 8 stone 4lb? (53kg). Technically underweight I think but I have a very narrow frame so I look quite healthy, just slim.

user1472145047 · 04/02/2023 23:08

I am 48, 6ft 1in and weigh about 13 stone. Want to lose about a stone but have no motivation at the moment to do so.

Cadburysucks · 04/02/2023 23:12

5 foot 2 gained a few pounds recently to 11 stone, was about 10 10 a few months ago. Used to be 8 stone before menopause.

Size 12.

18 months ago I was about 10kg heavier but had a very stressful time and lost a stone. Much happier at this weight so trying to keep the weight off. I don't exercise at all (due to disability) so just trying to eat less.

IDontWantToBeAPie · 04/02/2023 23:19

I'm 5'4 and I'm 63kg. I hate it and am on the edge of overweight

IDontWantToBeAPie · 04/02/2023 23:20

63 is 9st 9lb and it's max but that's almost overweight

IDontWantToBeAPie · 04/02/2023 23:21

Also these responses terrify me. I've re. Trying to get to 8st for a decade (I'm 28).Am I destined to never be slim??
