I'm just curious what others would think my likely weight is from this picture. I'm 5ft 2 for reference.

I am about the same height as you and was 13.5 stone a year ago, so would have said around 15 stone, but like you I thought I looked smaller - but I had just lost track of what over weight looks like, especially if you are fairly toned. Weirdly I am quite a bit lighter now, but still think I look quite heavy for my height.

Chocbuttonsandredwine · 28/05/2023 19:55

15st size 18-20

ItsJustJust · 28/05/2023 19:56

My guess would have been around 14. Definitely not nearly 17.

Out of interest; what dress size do you typically wear OP?

AlanJohnsonsBeemer · 28/05/2023 19:56

12 stone.

16-18. Typically 18 in jeans, 16 tops. I wear a lot of dresses and the vast majority are 16. I'm wearing a 14 dress today but it is stretchy Jersey material.

14st - 15st

I used to do the weighing at a slimming club and it is honestly so so difficult to tell what people weigh before they get on the scales. Some people are much heavier than you think and some much lighter. Everyone carries weight differently, some have higher muscles mass and some ethnicities do genuinely have heavier bones.

Mary28 · 28/05/2023 19:58

Wow I would never have put you at that weight in that photo. Very hard to tell even with your height given. I was going to say 11-12 st going from a friend of mine who is a similar height. You carry it well. You must have a decent sized bone structure. Well done to you on losing weight by the way. It's not easy.

WomanUnknown · 28/05/2023 19:58

I would guess around 14 st

FiveShelties · 28/05/2023 19:58

15stone 10 pounds, without looking at previous posts. Is there a prize?

That definitely shows how well you carry your weight.

I’ve gone from 15st7 immediately post childbirth to 12st7 in the last 9 months, 5ft3, but my fitted dresses are still generally an 18, 16 at a push. Definitely my mummy tummy!

Monkeynuts57 · 28/05/2023 20:00

I Think you have a good figure, I was going to guess 12 stone - my mums same height and similar build I think from pictures!
I don’t think You look overweight! And Maybe a size 14?

Chickpea17 · 28/05/2023 20:00

14st

I'm 16st 13 and bmi 42.5 on this picture. I don't feel as big as my weight suggests, but I wasn't sure if it was just me. I've lost weight since, but I keep looking and thinking do I really look almost 17st? Anyway, thanks for answering. Maybe I'm not going mad.

You look nothing like that heavy to me,. Are you quite fit? I'm 5'4 and looked a similar shape to you when I was twelve stone. Can't see how you can be shorter and four stone heavier and still have shape.

Dragonsmother · 28/05/2023 20:01

You’re the same height as me. But wow!! You look amazing. Your tummy is flat.

I weight 13stone and have a totally different body shape to you. I look like a small round ball!! I wish I had your body shape.

Deadringer · 28/05/2023 20:02

I would have said between 11 and 12 stone. I am about an inch taller than you and almost 14 stone, but I think I look a lot bigger than you.

QOD · 28/05/2023 20:02

How weird!!! I think I look bigger than you but I have a huge tum. Same size and height ase

Not fit whatsoever sadly. I put weight on all over and loose it all over so I suppose I don't look out of proportion (although I am definitely more bottom heavy). Who knows. It's a bloody mystery!

I’m the same weight as you but taller at 5’9’’ and I look much bigger! You look great OP. I don’t 🤣

Tummy definitely definitely not flat, I promise.

You sure the scales are right?? There is no way I would have guessed that. I was thinking 13.7-14 region.

I’m pretty much the same weight and I’m 6 foot, and I look way bigger too!

Peanutlatte · 28/05/2023 20:06

75kg -80kg

Millicentmargaretamandaholden · 28/05/2023 20:07

No you definitely don’t look that heavy and at 5 foot 2 I’d have expect someone at that weight to be a lot bigger and less shapely. Lucky you and well done on weight loss.

JocastaElastic · 28/05/2023 20:07

13 stone and 4 lb?
