    Wow! Great experiment! You have much more "guts" than I to do this, but you're right: the scale is evil. You look much thinner AND remember, the camera adds ten pounds, so I have no doubt that you look even more amazing in person. Congrats!!!

    Wow! This was HUGE for my psyche and ego! Thank you all SO much for your answers.

    To answer the question....AND to prove that the scale IS evil!

    As of this morning, my scale said 200 lbs. :blushing:

    Please use me as an example to throw your scales away and go by how you feel and look! Who cares what that stupid number says?!? :drinker:

    You, my friend, are fabulous! Thank you for sharing, and for this very important reminder.

    I think what I love the most is that you communicate that you are very, very comfortable with how you look and how you feel. You have more than just my goal shape and size... you have my goal attitude and outlook.

    Again, thanks for sharing and kudos to you!

    Wow, you definitely DO NOT look 200 lbs. Good for you and great job on the success!!! I love this thread and that you were ballsy enough to have people guess your weight!! Lol It's such a sensitive subject for so many people, no matter what size they are, so I love that you came up with this idea! :) Good for you! You look phenomenal!

    Yup, that's impressive! If you were my height (5'4") I would have guessed about 165 - 168. When I saw your height, I was going to say 180.

    I was totally going to guess 200 lbs but didn't want to offend you if I was wrong. The reason I knew that was because I have a tall friend that is super skinny but weighs the same as me and I learned that the taller you are, you weigh more due to your bones.

    Well, I have to say, you were very brave to throw this out there! Judging from the weight of two of my 5'10" friends, I would have guessed 170lbs. You really look great! I sometimes think I've lost more than I actually have because I feel "lighter" - that is until I try on a shirt or pants that I wore 2 years ago and reality kicks me in the teeth! Anyway, congrats on your loss so far!

    You look how I feel ;-)
    I might have guessed your weight right, comparing us 2.
    When I ask people to guess my weight, they all say some 155 lbs (my goal weight), and I'm still 185 (being 5'7).

    Talk about ego boost :-)

    I uploaded it to photobucket.com. Then copied the img path and pasted it into the message. I believe there's a thread or two about it if you do a search.

    I know you already revealed your weight, but I wanted to guess that you were close to my weight. I'm 5' 9.5" and I currently weigh 194. But I have put in months of weight training and exercise and have managed to lose inches even as my weight has only slowly dropped. I was over 200 and busting out of my 12s, and now, just 7lbs less in weight I am very comfy in my 10s and am less than 2inches away from fitting in my 8s again. The last time I was able to squeeze in an 8, I was about 173lbs. This time around, I'll probably fit in them again by the time I reach 190. When you get healthy all around, the number isn't the goal anymore. It's the way you feel about yourself and the way you see yourself in the mirror.

    Be proud of yourself. Healthy is not a number. And you look like you're getting healthy to me!

    Love this. I wasn't going to guess, but I had been thinking 180, maybe 185, since you're "so tall" and weight distributes better for taller girls (well, taller than me :wink: ). Glad that I was mentally giving you a boost, haha.

    But yes, you are definitely right. The scale just says how much you weigh, not how great you look or how healthy you are. Which, by the way, you look absolutely amazing!
