      Yup, lied about my weight and size to a guy :laugh: I told him I was 2 sizes smaller than what I actually am, and that I weigh like 10kgs less too! :blushing:

      I never lie about my weight. I prefer it that way. I do have people like my nan though that will say "oooooh you've lost lots of weight" when I have infact put on 2 stone lol. x

      USA drivers licence. Otherwise, I tend to be pretty honest. But I was losing weight at the time, and didn't want to be stuck with a licence weight that was high, so I "fudged" 30lbs.

      Never did lose them, either. Now I'm 50lbs above that licence weight. Sigh.

      Oh I should probably add... this was over webcam, so he hasn't actually seen me in person. Or at least not for 3 years where I have gained those dress sizes and put on that weight :blushes:

      Never. It doesn't really matter, and most people seem to think I look less than I am, so are generally surprised (or acting :laugh:)

      I don't lie about it ... I just don't discuss it and steer any weight conversations in another direction lol

      On my driver's license simply because I enjoy the look on the person's face when I increase my weight by about 20 pounds :-)... Also, I tried to lie once to get into a higher weight fighting division simply because the light weight division had more people to go through. The judges weren't having it and sent me back to the light weight division. It's really unfair because the light weight champ fights the heavy weight champ and you fight your *kitten* off in light weight with more fights while the heavy weight female only went through two fights....

      I think that the only peron whom I've ever lied to about my weight was myself...

      I don't think anyone other than my mum has ever asked! I don't think I'd ever lie if anyone did ask me though, I don't see the point.

      Maybe cause I'm a guy, but I've not been there. lol. Also I'm a big guy, what's the point in lying to someone about it? It's not like lying is going to hide it all.

      I used to get embarrassed and would lie all the time at my heaviest , my friends were on a diet and we all used to talk about our weight , I am even embarrassed to tell my partner at the minute , he wouldn't judge I just feel ashamed.

      Never have, and never will, even at my heaviest. Then again, other than the last couple years, I think I went a good decade without stepping on a scale. For the longest time, I had to throw out a best guess when asked.

      Age is another matter though, haha. I will eventually answer truthfully, but prefer to turn it into a guessing game for a bit, if only to find out people's thoughts.

      I was in Uni and I wanted to donate blood. There was a weight requirement. I lied...clever buggers made me get on the scale. Alas! my ruse was found out. lol.

      BTW medical people Why do you have to be 55kgs to donate

      I keep telling the running machines that I am 85kg (my starting recent 'fat' starting weight), even though I'm down to about 81 point something now.

      Don't lie about it, most people don't believe I'm as heavy as I am. It's fun to see the look on their faces when I tell them.

      When I was chubby, I used to say all my weight was just in my boobs and that I was only 108 pounds when I was actually around 130. I was in serious denial.

      I've never lied about my weight. I refused to tell one of my friends how much I weigh, but I didn't lie.

      No we haven't....

      I've never had any reason to lie about my weight. Come to think of it, I don't know why it would ever even really come up in conversation...I don't think anyone but my doctor and my coach have ever asked about my weight.

      Never.

      I've never lied about my weight. What would be the point? Everyone can see my size. Weighing less than my size suggests would mean one of 2 things. I have little muscle for my size or I'm lying.

      I suppose I could lie and say I weigh more than I do, suggesting a high muscle content. But unless I was wearing loose clothing that covered most of my body, I'm not sure anyone would believe that either.

      When I had no idea what it was and told the DMV I was 10 lbs heavier than I really was. (I need to get that changed....)
    • Posts: 4,646 Member
      At the DMV, but I know I'm not alone on this one
    • Posts: 1,566 Member
      Never I just wouldn't tell anyone when they asked. Even now that I am comfortable with it and tell them, they don't believe it.
