If you are in the 8 to 8st 13lb range how tall are you?

[Eightstonequestions]

And are you naturally that weight or have you dieted or changed your lifestyle to achieve it?

People seem to view the 8 stone range as really small/light even if it's a healthy BMI weight for those of us on the shorter side.

I put weight on and lost it sensibly and now maintain it around 8st 10lb without much effort. I'm 5ft 3in.

Me too!

5ft 3 and weigh 65.5 kg/10 stone 3

<backs away from the thread>

I can only get down to that with serious calorie counting now though I was around that weight until I hit 40. I'm now around 9 st 5 - 5'3 in my early 50s, fairly muscular but with some fluff.

5”2 and upper end of 8 stone. This is the most I’ve weighed and I hate it on me.

I'm 5' 4" and the only time I have been that thin was when I was really unwell.

I have been about 9 stone 7 without being unwell, but that's the lightest and I don't naturally stay there.

I'm currently 10 stone 12, which is technically overweight for my height but am well and truly back into looking a healthy weight and shape.

5'6 and 8.5 stone. It's my natural weight and easy to maintain. I eat a lot but am also active.

5 foot 6/7 , I'm happiest at 8 stone 12/13 - pregnant now so so heavier but will be aiming for that next year

5"1 and 8st 11. Trying to lose a few pounds would ideally be 8st 2-5lb

I'm 5'5" and was 8st 7lb for decades. Then perimenopause hit, plus I'm on medication, so I'm 9st 4 at 50. I' m not delighted about it, but as I'm not overweight, I've accepted it. I can lose a few pounds if I try.

I’m 5ft9 and 8 stone 10ish, give or take a few pounds. I’m usually around the 9 stone mark. Naturally that weight, but gained 3 stone when I was pregnant, lost it with a diet after 9 months post partum.

I’m 5ft 4 and 8st 2. I’ve never been big, I was 8st 10 but DS1 has been on a very horrible deployment with the army so I lost half a stone in the first 2 weeks he was away. I’m happiest around 8st 4 -8st 6

It depends on your frame. I'm 5.6 and last time I was 8st 13 I was about 17. I look gaunt under 9st 2 as my shoulders are broad and my waist is tiny.

At 5.6 I would say 9st 7 is slim. I have a fair bit of muscle mass.

I’m 5’8. Been in this weight range for years. It’s only luck that it’s not higher. My diet is rubbish really.

Hell, I’m a fat bitch 5ft 3in and 10 stone 10 pounds

5’ 2’’

I'm 8st 3 and 5' 0

But I'm getting on a bit and have thickened a lot round my middle. Most of my life I've been around 7st 12

9st and 5 ft 3"

Never dieted but used to be 8st 7lbs until menopause, and a recent hypothyroidism diagnosis.

5’4’’

I am 8 stone 12 now but prefer to be about 8 stone 7-8.

5” and 6st 2

I'm 22 and 10st my height is just over 5ft but that's after I had a baby before I had a baby I was just only 7st I like my weight I am now I feel I look the healthiest it's just my mum tum that I need to sort out lol

Your post stood out to me, particularly the part about eating whatever you fancy.

I have this problem. I eat whatever I fancy and I struggle to keep the weight off.

I guess my question is, how do you NOT eat whatever you fancy? Any tips much appreciated

5ft 2 and weigh currently 8st 5lb but more usually 8st 2lb
58.
Two DC’s in my late 20’s.

I wear the same size clothes as I did when I was 16. 10 top (32dd) and size 6 trousers.

I don't seriously diet or exercise but have always checked my weight and set 8st 8lb as a maximum - eating sensibly to drop down from this if I creep up.
Mainly because I have no will power and if I had more than half a stone to lose would never be able to!
I eat all things in moderation and enjoy a snack during the evening. . Don't eat my first meal of the dayuntil 12.00 ( last 2 years). Don't drink much - maybe a glass of wine once a week, if at all.

I'm 7st 9lbs and I'm 5ft 2

Didn't look much different when I was 8st

I've still got a flabby belly (2 ginormous babies/c-sections)

5 foot 8 and 8 stone 7 to 10. I'm 55 and it's mainly genetic - my mother's 94 and the same size.

I am creeping close to 8st.
Im about 5’3’’. I used to weigh about 7st 1/2 for years but now I’m 40 and have been eating way too many snacks with some medication I’ve been on increasing my appetite I’ve crept up. I will make sure I don’t go over 8st as I won’t be able to fit in my jeans🤣
Im a size 6/8 top and size 10 bottom.
I’ve been this size since I was about 14. The only time I gained weight was when I was pregnant. I went up to 10-10.5 stone and my face in photos looks so big.
But I know that weight on other women my size isn’t the same look. My sister in law is about 9-10 stone and she’s same height and we could wear the same clothes.

8st 2lbs, 5' 3.5''. I feel much better at 8 stone on the dot, or even a little lower, but I struggle to get there unless I've been very stressed or recently ill!
