How much do people think you weigh...
Options
I've lost a bunch of weight recently and been hitting the gym hard ( pauses for applause), but my family has been asking what I weigh lately and are shocked
They usually guess 175-180, when I'm really 5'10" 215-217 (depending on time of day, constipation status, water retention, etc)
So what do people over or underestimate your weight when asked ?

People always underestimate my weight. I don't know if they are just trying to be nice or if they really think I weigh less than I do, but it's all good.0

I weigh 155 lbs. Most people assume 125 - 130 lbs. I'm also 5'10, so my weight has never been properly guessed.0

I dont ask, they dont tell.
Oh, and I really dont give a SH--0 -
people guess that I weigh 250 to 300, I'm 335. I always weigh more than I look0

I am realistically 206 and every time I tell somebody that they don't believe me, saying I look more like 180-190 or something.0

the question is how much do you think I weigh?? I have never had anyone guess...0

People don't bring up my weight anymore and if they did, I'm sure they'd guess low trying not to hurt my feelings. But back when I weighed 200 pounds everyone thought I weighed around 160-170. Everyone including my doctor who was shocked when she saw the scale. I still remember the look on her face and what she said. "Oh my! I would have guessed you at around 170. Well we're going to have to put you on a diet immediately". That diet resulted in a 25 pound gain within the next year. Thanks doc.0

They never give a number. But they call me "tiny" and tiny I am not.0

I asked my FL this today and most guesses were 40-50lbs lower than the actual figure.
(I'm 5'9" if anyone else wants to take a guess like someone did below :P)0 -
People rarely guess my weight but most are shocked to find out that I've lost almost 50lbs and don't believe me when I tell them I started at 251.0

People usually guess me at around 180. I'm actually 242 in my pic (my starting weight here)0

I've only had one person try to guess, he thought my weight was in the 90's and I really weighed 120.0

I have had lots of people ask what I weigh, but they don't typically guess. Similar to scottbrown78, they are shocked when I tell them I have lost 40 lbs. They all claim to have thought I wasn't that big. Then I show them my driver's license photo from 2 years ago!0

I have never asked anyone this question, and no one has ever approached me to announce their opinion on what my weight may be. What can I say? I'm a freak.0
