    Most women are pretty shocked to find out that I'm about 135-140. Their goals are usually about 120 or 110 and they think that I look like that goal.

    I don't know about everyone but whenever anyone has guessed my age, it's always 5-7 years younger than I am. Weight, always less by 20-30lbs. I think it's just our nature to embellish a bit. I mean, what if someone guessed and they were right or worse, OVER!! I usually take the compilment and the actual guesses with a grain, I mean, I may not be all that but at least I'm around people who are nice : ))

    A Korean pupil once said 'I bet you whinge about your weight and you're only 55kg'. I was about 65kg then. All he had to compare with were Asian teenage girls, so no wonder he got it wrong.

    On the other hand, when I weighed 65kg in Japan, female pupils would make fun of how fat I was behind my back...

    1 Astronomical Unit

    Yeah, and how many "parsecs" does it take them to guess that? :-p
    Cute.

    I'm another one who carries my weight well. My profile picture shows me at my leanest, when I weighed 144 lbs. I'm 5'5".
    People typically guess that I'm around 20 lbs. lighter than I actually am.

    A parsec is a unit of distance, not time. Failed another geek check...

    Most people underestimate my weight too--but I can understand that. Muscle is much heavier than fat but it takes up a lot less space and I have quite a bit of muscle under the fat layer. So I look smaller and lighter than I actually am.

    One time I got sick and went to a walk-in clinic. When I was touching base with the doctor about what was wrong she told me they had my weight wrong and I had to argue that I really was as heavy as the scale said I was lol

    Recently, my boyfriend's brother was guessing people's weight and he guessed mine at 135lbs, which is only 2lbs less than what I really weigh.

    I don't really talk to people or socialise so I don't generally have people commenting on my weight or asking what I weigh etc. I expect most people think I weigh more than I do though. I usually wear pretty baggy/unflattering clothes that make me look bigger than I am. Don't think anyone has really noticed I've lost any weight either.

    most people think I weigh around 210...it's really 250. I'm lucky to have alwyas had a pretty good muscle mass which makes me more compact.

    I weigh around 235 right now, but most people guess 150!!!! It's because I'm tall, wide hips, hourglass shape... I carry my weight well, I guess. Sometimes I can't even believe I weigh so much.

    I'm 120lbs/4'11. I've had people guess my weight correctly, and then other people think I'm much lighter than I am. Thankfully people don't say I look heavier!

    By pictures, people say I look skinnier than I say I weigh. When I was 285 lbs, people usually guessed 240-260s. I've always looked really heavy though, unless I'm just well proportioned in clothes.

    People guess that I weigh way less than I do, but they also guess that I'm a few inches shorter than I am. I think I'm just surrounded by giants.
