Hi CB I'm only 9 stone 3. I have just lost 4lbs and would like to loose another 3 or 4 lbs. The really frustrating thing is i'm a size 16 and although i've lost a few pounds my clothes dont feel any different. Good luck Jane

Harry, I'm certain you are an absolute dish!!!! I was talking about old, thin ladies (trying to get out of a hole here!!) It's not so bad when they are LITTLE old thin ladies, but my mum is 5'8' - she looks like she'd snap in the middle in a high wind! Bev x

Well i'm jealous, at 5' 10' i'm only 10st 8 been that since i was 20, i eat all the stuff that is SUPPOSE to put weight on, still struggling, still thin. Micheal.

Bev, Don,t be cheeky, I am older and look absolutely.........old and handsome - at least that,s what my good lady says when she wants something. Best wishes Happy days

Snap Harry! I don't put on weight either, despite eating vast amounts of chocolate! The trouble is, it's not so good when you get older. My mum is the same - she is 72 and stick thin - and to be honest, it's not a pretty sight, lol!!! Bev x

I haven't a clue how much I weigh, I just go by how I 'feel'. When jeans or skirts feel slightly tight, I know I need to lose a few pounds! Have been similar size (10-12) for years now, and am now more concerned with keeping toned rather than losing loads.

I am prone to most things, but luckily not this one. I was 13stone two when I joined the army in 1951 and have never altered by more than a pound. To make me even more insufferable , my only bad habit (that I can indulge in) is eating - particularly chocolate. Lucky. lucky, lucky. happy days

Well CB I hve lost 3 stone but would like to lose another 4 stone Ill get there I know that Davex

B.C, Go by how you feel, I really dont like all this'ideal weight' thing it depends on build also, according to one of those I should be a stone lighter but I know thats Rubbish!!:))x

i was the same weight for years 9stone 8 and too skinny to be honest, as im 5ft 11in, now im 10 stone 9 and feel better and look better so im happy as I am!! Rox xx

Well CB I need to lose about a stone ideally, or half a stone, but I am 'within the normal range' according to all the books on the subject, albeit the upper end of normal!!! lol I did try a size 12 skirt in Marks per wotsit range this week & it was too big!!!! They do seem to make stuff bigger though these days, I think !! lol :0) Joan xx

A Lot! but it,s always manyana! with me i,m afraid.

How much excess weight would you like to lose? For me, it's at least 4 st. according those 'ideal weight' tables! CB >|<
