This is me as well, but I drink wine. It would easily go away if I stopped. |
171.6 lbs.
Started at 110 in my 20s..had 2 kids. About 122- 128 in my 30s Early 40s- 135 -140 as a high Mid 40s, dx with Hashimotos, goiter development- on Synthroid- 145 Late 40s-148 - 160 Lost some weight back to 144 lbs by age 50. Early 50s, thyroidectomy and yep, afib. Medication is now Synthroid and a beta blocker. Weight 165 Late 50s MENOPAUSE Woohoo-165 to 170 170 to 172 now at age 65. I wear a size 12. Size 10 shirt. This weight isn't budging at all. My diet is great, exercise regularly. I dont even eat 1100 calories in a day. I walk at least 4 miles a day. Here's the thing. I'm alive.I look Ok- I am not considered "heavy" but I am not thin, and I know that. I've stopped worrying about it. |
At 5'4" you should be size 0, 5'6" size 2 |
I’m 5’4, am 110. I look slim irl but in photos average. DH I think likes closer to 120 on me. I look average at this weight irl but in photos can look chubby. At 105 I look too thin irl but I love the way I look in photos. |
I am 5’4”. At my most fit, bikini body, size 2, I weighed 134. I am a bit busty and build muscle easily, so that may be why I weighed more than I looked like I did. |
I am 5 foot five and 145 is a good weight for me, more than I know what some people have said, but I have a lot of muscle I still wear a size 6 to 8 when I’m that weight |
I thought the same. I stopped drinking 12/31 and didn’t lose any ounce for months. |
This is me. I’m confused why I look so much heavier in photos. Are you also small boned? When people see me after not having seen me in a while they always ask if I’ve lost weight. I think it’s because they’ve only seen me recently in photos. |
A lot of people look heavier in photos. The camera really can add weight—lighting, angles, your clothing captured in the wrong way will do that. |
I think the guideline is
100 lbs for 5 ft. Add 5 pounds for every inch taller. So 5'4 would be 120 lbs, 5'5 would be 125 |
When I graduated college, I was a 0/2 and about 115. Later in life, I worked really hard with a trainer to lose weight and gain muscle and I was back in a 2, but I was 135. My body was very different. I actually can't imagine being 115 again. I'm not 135, either, but I'm working on rediscovering balance. |
I'm age 50. 5'4. 125 - but sometimes 130. I'm fine with it. |
Exactly. It “used” to come off easily with small changes but next time you try, it could be different… |
I am 5'5" and super-muscular, always have been. When I was in my 20's, I was 125 and a size 0. Now that I'm in my 50's, I'm 140 and a size 4. You would never guess how much I weigh from looking at me!
That's why this compare and contrast exercise is a little silly--it's all personal to how you look and feel, not an arbitrary number. |
We know. We are not comparing, we are sharing. |
