does that sound ok to you?

I know i need to tone up but i really cant be arsed to deprive myself to lose any more weight (i was 9 stone 9 oz pre baby 2)

Shall i just be happy with how i am and still enjoy my food/wine whilst toning up and exercising when i can?

sounds perfect to me....

I'm 5ft 6 and 10 stone 4. I think it's fine. I was 9 stone 5 pre kids but that was 20 years ago and if I weighed that now I'd look dreadful.

I am 5ft 7 and 10 stone is my target as I fit comfortably into a size 12 at that weight.

thank for the replies!

I just love my food and wine! I've lost over a stone since having ds (its taken me nearly 2 years!!!) but i quite like having a figure instead of being stick thin

That is fine, the top weight for your height IIRC is 11.1, so going off my own body mass, I'd say you were quite slim. I'm 5.5 and 9.13 and a comfortable size 10.

i think your weight is good and you shouldn't worry but if you feel you want to loose some, try soups. They are very nutricious and healthy and they will warm you up. Excersise is good if you don't mind it. I'm too lazy.

I'm 5ft 6 and I used to be 10 st and spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to lose weight, I'm now 11st 5. You are perfect, maintain your weight by walking when you can and drinking lots of water.

Sounds fine to me - I actually adjusted the goal weight WW gave me from below 10 to 10 stone 3. Whenever I gain, I aim to get back to that. At that weight I fit in all my clothes.I refuse to starve! But I am trying to get fitter.

rookiemater · 08/02/2008 22:41

Ok fedda not that much water !

Praline girl I think a lot of my weight gain is due to refusing to be happy at 10st. I remember joining WW at 10st5 which I'd love to be now and they quite happily accepted me and my £4.95 per week which made me feel that clearly I was too heavy then.

I think being fit is a good goal to have, very few of us take our absolute minimum of 30 mins 3 times per week.

Yes, everything in moderation (how come I never know when to stop?)
