How tall are you and what do you weigh?

Just wanted to do a quick poll really. I was just wondering how tall people are and how much do you weigh. I know it sounds really nosy (!) but I was reading a magazine (think it was Reveal) and I was quite surprised that a 5ft 6 woman weighed 8st 8 when I weigh 10st 2 (atm am hoping to diet but you know how it is!!)

That sounds a bit daft since I don't know what I weigh - but I'd hazard a guess at 9-9.5 stone and I'm a size 10 (wear some 12 bottoms).

But I'm a size 12 at 11 stone and 5'4!! It must be my boobs... they are a 36 G cup after all...

NDP ... I think it is to do with shape ... my best friend is a teeny bit shorter than me, weighs less than me, but wore size 10 when I wore size 8 ... I am not curvy ... more boyish in figure when I am skinny ... curves only come with weight for me ...

PinkFluffPudding · 26/04/2005 11:36

Ghosty - yeah, I am slim... quite bony on top and sometimes i'll admit it looks horrible - especially when i get stressed as weight plummets and i look v scraggy and gaunt. Totally unattractive. I pile it on when i'm pregnant - last time i put on 3 1/2 stone and it looks as if i'm going to that way again! Must be all the hormones as it falls off again quickly afterwards. DH says he prefers me when i'm pregnant as he says i'm lovely and 'cuddly' and can't keep his hands off my boobs!

i'm 6ft and desparate to lose large donut roll around middle. did lose post pregnancy, but youngest now 16 months and nasty cravings have put some back on

guessing i weigh 14st 7lbs, need to lose a least a stone pre pregnnancy was 13st. lightest was 12st 7lbs comfortable at about 13st. sounds heavy but looks lighter

5'4''
9 st 6.

Lightest I've been since I was a student at the moment and I'm not sure it suits me: I'm losing my boobs and my body fat is rather too low for my liking.

For a long time I was bordering on fat on a lot of the charts (varied between 10.5 and 11 stone) which was a bit of a nonsense as I was still pretty fit, just had heavy bones. As a result I don't set much store by those charts, generally - I'm much more interested in whether I look ok and am having fun.

Wow, I'm really of the taller ones amongst us. I would love to be 5'9"+. Although DH is just under 5'10", so I guess we'd look a bit Tom&Nicole . I already tower over him in heels !

Lizzylou · 26/04/2005 12:16

My Dh is 5ft 10 and I am 5ft 9" ....much as I would love to wear heels to make me look slimmer, get very worried about him looking like Minime from Austin Powers!

Titania · 26/04/2005 13:36

emmamama · 26/04/2005 13:48

5ft 11
13 stone 9lbs

BUT 3 months ago I weighed in at 16 stone 2lbs . I'm on the right road I suppose, I still have another 20 lbs to shift before I'll even contemplate breathing out.

mumfor1sttime · 26/04/2005 14:10

Hi, I weigh around 11 stone and am 5ft 5, before I had ds I was 9 st. Did go up to 13 st while pg, so not too bad, would like to get to 10 st if poss!!

fuzzywuzzy · 26/04/2005 14:13

5'3"
6.5 stones
I am skinny and I can't put weight on, it's not as nice as it may sound....

donnie · 26/04/2005 14:27

I am 5 feet and just under 2 inches. Usually I weigh 8 stone 5/6 lb but currently am around 10 stone and 10 lb as baby is due in around 7 - 10 days. When I was in my early 20s though, I only weighed 7 stone 2lb as I had 'problems' shall we say - and even then I was convinced I was too fat. My trouble is that my top half and bottome half are not completely in proportion; I am a size 10, sometimes 8 waist and bust, but often as big as a 12 around my hips.....major bummer!! can't wait to lose all the preg weight though, my goal is 8 stone which I would be happy with.

ghosty · 27/04/2005 22:03

fuzzy, you sound like my friend. She is 5' 1" and is very tiny (probably about 6.5st too) ... She struggles to put weight on and struggles to find clothes small enough to fit her. She sometimes buys children's clothes.
We chatted the other day about it and said how jealous she always felt about friends who are curvy and busty ....
It swings both ways I suppose.
Having said that she managed to give birth to a 9lb 7oz baby in under 4 hours from start to finish and is still breastfeeding him at 19 months .... so size of mum and size of boobs has no bearing on ability to give birth and breastfeed!

HappyDaddy · 28/04/2005 13:05

I'm 6'2" and weigh 16 stone 5. Am I excluded, being a bloke?
