    I'm 140. Thanks for all the replies! As I suspected, I look my weight. I love my friends, but sometimes they are nice to a fault. :laugh:
    Huh?

    You look fine. 140 at 5'5" is a perfectly reasonable weight.

    Thank you! I still want to lose about 10 lbs. I've lost 130-132 lbs so far (depending on what time of day I get on the scale). I'm just at the tail-end of my journey.

    This was me in 2009

    Holy cow, girl! You look amazing. And I'm sorry, but I'm 5'7" and 135 and you look thinner and more fit than I do so I would have guessed way sub-140. You must have lots of muscle. :)

    Also, are your friends either much larger/smaller or taller/shorter than you are?

    I think that could play a big role as well. I have a lot of girlfriends who are around 5'3" and I am 5'8". They expressed a huge (genuine) shock recently that I am trying to lose 23 lb to get to 180. They assumed I weighed around 180 now. I think it's because being taller I am heavier, for example if I was 5'3" like my friends with the exact same type of figure/fat as I have right now then I would weigh 170-180 probably.

    And people on MFP are probably a bit more "in tune" with this stuff since it's on our minds.

    Regardless...you look fabulous!! Cheers!
