5 foot 5ers .... at what weight do you think you start looking a bit on the chubby side?

[nappyaddict]

Just curious really as I know we will all be different as we all have different body shapes and bone densities etc.

ok, so I'm nearer 5'6" but for me, 10st seems to be the start of it.
I have an ironing board shape - no waist, no hips to speak of, relatively small boobs - at 10st, the waist is definitely on the way to muffinhood. I am medium bone structure and used to be fairly well-muscled but not now

Im 5ft 6 and if i go over 10st i start to notice it and feel uncomfortable

I would agree, for me, it's about 10 stone.

That said, I currently weigh 11st 2 so I'm a complete blob at the moment! I am on a diet though so it's coming off gradually...

cupoftea Are you 5 foot 5?

I'm 5ft 4" and have always been really skinny until I reached 32. I'm the heaviest I've ever been at 10 stone 2. My DH thinks I'm barmy when I moan about my weight but recently I only feel comfortable in size 14 clothes (never been this size before)
If I wear my size 12 jeans the belly that hangs over is eurghhhh, I eventually have to loosen the button !!
Think I now need to do something about it and for the first time ever think about going on a diet and start exercising

I'd agree it's around 10 for me. I'm narrow in the shoulders and ribcage, but I have big hips and boobs - trying to lose some of the weight from the right places drives me nuts!

I am 5ft 6 and 12 stone. I definitely look chubby when I see myself in pics. In the mirror I can live with what I see - just. My healthy weight is supposedly around 10stone, according to the practice nurse/well woman clinic.

at 9 stone I keep getting told to eat something, at 10 stone I start to look matronly

depends on body shape

im 5 ft 7 and look good/feel good at 11 stone - which makes me a size 12

i got down to 10 10 and looked gaunt in the face

I'm 5ft 5.5 and 10st 2lb and I am really not comfortable with myself. I'm size 14 top and 12 bottom and am really flabby.

I was always a 10/12 and around 9st at my happiest but since quitting smoking almost 2 years ago the weight has crept on.

Yes, I am 5 foot 5 nappyaddict.

I am 5'5" and my ideal weight it 10st 2lb as this is what I was when I got married and wore a lovely size 12 dress

Am currently 10st 10lb and feel flabby round the middle, although I'm not sure if after having 2 dc this will ever change

I'm 5ft 5 and weigh just over 12 stone and am a size 16. I definitely look slightly over weight. Although people never seem to believe me when I say I'm a size 16 No idea why?

I do need to diet but am in denial, haven't been a size 14 since pre-children. Last time I was a size 12 was as a young teenager. But I'm very broad shouldered with big hips. I look bizarre when too skinny. But size 14 I was very happy with.

I am 166cm which I think is 5ft 5 nearly 6

once I hit 64kg (10 stone) I look porky

it's when my size 12 trousers start feeling tight

also, I know once I go over 64kg I find it much harder to lose the weight to get back down

I would love to be 58/60kg but realistically, I hover between 61 and 63kg

once I hit 64kg, you can really see it round my belly - it's where all my weight goes in spare tyres!

Im 5ft 4 1/2 - weight is now 13 st 4lb after losing 1 stone in the last 4 weeks, and feeling very proud of myself. My goal weight is 9st 3lb which I haven't been for far too long but remember that being just right for me.

I am 5ft 5.5 (all the 5s) and am currently 11 stone 5. I am doing the unmentionable (Lipotrim) and have come down from 14 stone 9 and am beginning to feel like a normal human being at last. I am aiming for 9 stone 9 as that will be a perfect weight and also means I have lost 5 stone! Am doing one more week of the Lipo and then will go on to the maintenance. I have done this in two blocks as I thought it would be too difficult on the body to go for it in one go.

thought this was such a good question. I'm 5foot 4 and a half & currently approx 11 1/2 stone & I feel great - I have been working out with 30 day shred DVD - so in my view its not what you weigh but how firm it is!
