Weight or Inches?

I think it was last week sometime, my dad commented on my weight, he said "you look like you've lost a lot of weight" I said proudly "yes, i've lost 10lbs!" I wanted to ask him to guess how much I weighed, but was scared because I knew he would freak out. But I still asked him to guess. He said "I don't have a clue! I…
