Do I look my weight?

Hey guys, I'm new here.
Not sure if this belongs here but it sorta has to do with weight loss..
I was wondering if I look like I'm 239 pounds, when I see myself in pictures or the mirror I never think I look as big as I weigh so I just wanted to hear others opinions.
BTW even though I'm not losing weight for the looks, I am doing it because I feel unhealthy. I was a smoker and heavy drinker so I'm just to just trying to all together turn my life around and be fit. I want to run marathons and climb mountains
Which one is you?

@_Waffle_ , the OP is from a couple of years ago but this was bumped by the OP to show her progress. Her post from today:UPDATE
Hey sorry to bring up a super old post! But I am the OP and this post was 3 years ago! This is what I look like now!!
Calorie counting works everyone!
I'm also completely sober, quit smoking (8 months) and am planning a trip to Mt. Kilimanjaro!!
I was in denial to think I didn't look 200! I'm still in denial now though lol, I got 50ish more pounds to go woo!0 -

Awesome job. On all three fronts. That's a lot of stuff to turn around.
As for the 50ish more, now that you've seen what you can do those will be no problem.
Thank you for sharing and congratulations!0 -
You look fantastic!
Curious, though. How are your other goals going? I read that you're going to Mt. Kilimanjaro, so that's exciting! Will that be your first?0 -

Yes that's my first! I heard it was fairly easy though expensive. Me and a friend have planned for sometime in 2017 but I still need prepare and read up about it. Do you have experience?0 -
Thank you all who have posted!!
I still have a way to go, so lets all keep inspiring each other. This is why I love MFP Forums!0 -
Yeah but it gets easier to see as you get smaller. I started at 262. You can see the side by side on my profile in my photos. 0

Wow!
Kudos to you for that amazing weightloss!
You're looking really great already now. Imaging what a killer you'll be once you have those last few pounds gone!
Enjoy your trip to the Kilimanjaro. You deserve it!0 -
WOOHOOO you are looking great girl!0
