7st is still way underweight for age and size.

Take it from someone that knows what it's like to be underweight. To get down to that weight, you'd bottom out to basically skin and bone, no fat etc. That's nearly 1.5st underweight of being considered the edge of normal. If you've been that weight before you'd never want to go back to it that's for sure. Everything would be a huge struggle and that's why I have issues believing it.

Eat porridge, go for long walks, swim. Avoid meat, white bread, crisps and the gym subscriptions . Drink loads of wine.
These are top tips from me

I was thinking aim low at 7 stone and not get disheartened if I find 8 stone my limit. I've nearly dropped 1 stone with protein shakes as meal replacements and fruit if my tummy hurts. One main meal dinner that includes veg or salad. It's working

I'm not even doing any exercises.

The idea weight for a 35 year old male (at 5'4) is, according to various sites, just over 9st.

I'm assuming they account for muscle? I could do with being skinny again. I was agile and more confident in myself, not the pleasing other people confident, I mean confident in my own body.

That still doesn't make any sense. To be 7st (or even 8st), to not look emaciated you'd need a certain amount of body fat. If you wanted to be fit and wanted to turn that into muscle but keep that low weight then at weight you would look seriously ill and it'll be really painful. Not advisable at all.

I wasn't emaciated at 7 stone. I looked shredded cut up but not bloated muscle. It'll be interesting to know what weight I find slim. I've just plucked 7 stone because that's what I was for soo many years, my natural weight no matter how much I ate. The change is artificial due to drugs (medication). I want rid of it back to how I once was.
