How much do you weigh?

[Rumpleteaser]

I'm 165cm and at my highest wt I was 86kg, now down to 80kg. I'm comfortable under 70kg. Would love to weigh 60kg, but have not been that wt since I was at high school.

I'm the same height as you, and about 15kg over your weight - I've been told by many gyms & doctors that for my body type, I shouldn't go below around 65kg.

I think it's a lot healthier to work off your BMI fwiw, as the BMI range is very generous. I agree with MG, don't stress about your weight, you're a mum now and your body changes a fair bit after having a bubba!

Your doing great if you are that height and weight.
Remember that your body changes shape after having a baby, so thats why you may feel different towards how you look.

To answer your q, im 161cm and currently wiegh 68kg, I need to get back down to between 56 -58kg to be pre preg size and what I am most comfortable at.

I'd work off BMI rather than comparing yourself to others. You're BMI is perfect (should be between 20-25). I am currently at the max healthy weight for my height so am trying to get back down to about a BMI 22.

I am not having body image problems or anything like that. Actually, I never have. I am just interested to know where everyone is with their weight because I have seen a few ladies their tricker displays how much weight they want to lose and how much they have lost.I understand and can sympathise with ladies who have weight problems after pregnancy but not other younger girls.

[Indadhanu]

but not other younger girls.

What do you mean?

[Mother Goose]

Your statement "I understand and can sympathise with ladies who have weight problems after pregnancy but not other younger girls." comes across as very judgemental and is not likely to illict any responses from members... nor is it encouraging to those trying to lose weight.

Body Image issues are not exclusive to post pregnancy and nor does having had a baby make it any better or worse to have those issues (or extra weight). There are valid medical conditions which predispose people to easy weight gain or make it difficult to lose weight.

How much weight an individual carries can be a very sensitive issue and should be treated as such.

G22, I can accept you weren't trying to be difficult, but as others have said, there is some confusion as to your original post and others since with you sending mixed messages about what you're hoping to get out of this thread. You made the comment

I understand and can sympathise with ladies who have weight problems after pregnancy but not other younger girls.

and then later said

Once again, I have never had weight problems. Never felt the need to lose or gain. I could have had this conversation with my friends who do not have children but it wouldn't be the same as my body had undergone changes whereas they haven't yet.

So, are you trying to understand pre or post baby image issues? And I am really struggling to understand why you have started this thread considering you state you have no body issues (which the last quote alone doesn't suggest) or the inkling to gain or lose weight.

Please help us to understand what you are trying to achieve/learn so we can do that without feeling judged.

Bron - PMSL - love what you wrote about ice-cream! I'll never look at a tub of ice cream the same way again!
