Anyone not look their weight?

Anyone else have larger measurements or body weight than what they look?

I think a lot of people fit that description.

I know when I see women who share my height and weight stats, some of them look MUCH thinner/fitter/smaller in general, and others look larger/wider than I do.

If you poke around some of the other threads you may notice the same thing...especially before/after threads where a lot of people mention their height/weight.

I think I look my current weight but I do believe (as cliche as it sounds) I carried my excess weight fairly well in the past due to being on the tall side with wide hips and that sort of thing. A lot of people simply DO NOT believe me when I tell them I've lost over 100 lb. I was definitely obese but I think to some people I just wasn't in that category of having over 100 lb to lose, although I certainly did. Also, I was dating a guy once who was my exact weight and we looked SO different and he looked much larger than me, but a lot of that was male vs. female differences in the way weight was distributed.

Wow!!! That’s amazing. It truly is amazing. The modeling industry messed me up and I’m trying to get out of my head. The above picture I’m 135lbs at 5’8 and my thighs are 23 inches! It doesn’t look it and I have people call me “voluptuous “ and curvy I don’t see that at all. Thank you for sharing your post, and congrats on everything !

Kind of. I got to goal, around 132lbs at 5'7. It's hard to tell in photos but I am fairy on the small side, especially outside of the gym without flexing and no muscle pump. I think because I got my bodyfat% is pretty low. I've been lower and looked bigger, so muscle makes a difference.

Thank you!!! I’ve been very down on myself since starting birth control as it’s made me gain 7 lbs I’m getting used to it. Your kindness is appreciated!
