A member asked:

Am i over weight i'm 5.1 and i weigh 12 stone 6

Yes: That sounds like 174 pounds on this side of the pond. That's a lot for somebody who is just over 5 feet tall. A more healthy weight can be achieved by working closely with a helpful doctor.

Yes: Converting stones to pounds you weigh 176.4 pounds. At 5 feet tall your ideal weight should be around 110 more or less.
