Ok, so here's my thing. I will tell everyone that I've lost a total of 69 lbs. I am 10 pounds away from what I weighed in MIDDLE school. I'm finding lately, that even though I am truly proud of myself and kind of satisfied with my current weight, I still have 20 lbs to go. I go from feeling "kinda skinny" and "WHOA! Is that really me? Daaaannnng, not bad!!" to the other extreme of feeling "EEWW! So fat!" It's exactly how I felt in middle school :ohwell: I think it's stemming from knowing my weight and my size (my frame plays a major factor in my body image, everyone will see why in a few). I see other girls who I "think" look my weight, but they are like 4 sizes smaller than me. Basically, I either see myself skinnier than I am, or sometimes like a whale that I'm not (and I was a whale).
In attempting to give myself a proper perspective, I want to try an experiment. I won't tell you my height or weight. I'm looking for un-biased, HONEST answers as to answer me this question. I PROMISE I will NOT be offended!!! Please tell me what you really think!! I will give everyone the answer after I see a few posts

Hard to say without knowing how tall you are, because that has a HUGE impact on things like that... could you say how tall you are? If not, I'd say maybe a 9... but really, it could be anywhere from a 5 to a 12 depending on your height... lol Either way, I can tell you that you have NO reason to feel like a whale... you look GREAT!!!0

I'm taller than 5'5. That's the only hint I'm giving. I Just want to see if it's just me not compared next to another woman, or if others see it also, with me not standing next to another average woman.0
-
Yeah, I'm going to stick with my guess of 9... am I close?
lol

I am so glad it really isn't just me!!!
I just want a few more posts before I reveal my height, weight, and SIZE!
COME ON!?! Any other players out there???
Pretty please? Two guesses is not enough data. Honest answers, no offense taken here!0 -
I am going to guess:
5'9"
175
Size 12
Don't be mad if I'm over. I am not good at guessing weight for taller people, all the women in my family are under 5'4"0 -
I have no idea about the size of jeans (they're small!), but congratulate yourself on a great job! You look wonderful.0

Here's my stats!! Thank you to everyone for posting. I'm realizing it's not just me, and that I actually do have a generally good body image of myself, maybe I can help someone else feel good about theirs too! I guess size and weight really don't matter, and yes I feel good and much healthier than I was! But growing up I always heard and tried to use the excuse that I have a "large frame," but since so many people use that as an excuse not to change their lifestyle, I figured I didn't actually have that problem. But I do! And guess what? It doesn't matter, because I do look good compared to MYSELF and not some tiny framed girl! (no offense to tiny girls, you're all stinkin' adorable!)
I am 5'10
I weigh 197
And I'm a SIZE 14 currently
Thanks for playing everyone, you really helped me feel better!
And good riddance to this girl:
She was sporting a size 20/220 -
I need to update! As of this moring my current weight is 196!0
-
WOW what a difference between your two pictures YOU LOOK AMAZING, and give me hope that one day I can be there too
GREAT JOB!!!!!!!0 -
I think you look great. I would've guessed:
5'9"
175ish
size 12
Congrats on your hard work. Bet you FEEL better, too, huh? :happy:0 -
You do look great.... no denying.
I am about to post the dreaded 'before' pics in my own blog... I'm hoping looking at them every once in a while will motivate me to lose weight even more... all that flab... *shudders*
