    I'm the same way! I always weigh more than people think....which is sort of nice...sort of...because then I get wait HOW MUCH noooo! and I'm like is it that bad...well now it is...but it wasn't at like 145....and a size 6....weird huh because I'm really short too 5'2"!

    so I have no idea but I have a best friend who is the same height and weighs 30 lbs less and is bigger than me...bigger sizes..etc...so I think bone mass and muscle mass and just the shape of your body.....I've been a dancer my whole life...so under this flabby stuff is muscles LOL....

    anyway....you look amazing and I can only imagine what you're gonna look like at your goal girl!

    hugs!

    I am the same way. I've always weighed more than people thought because I have the large scandanavian legs and am big boned, so I don't worry as much about how much I weigh, just how my clothes fit. One site told me that at 5'6 I should weigh between 119-140 lbs. My goal right now is around 140, but if I went much lower than that people would think I was starving, so I've never really been obsessed about the number on the scale, just as long as it was going lower.
  • i very appreciate your comments, it gives me motivation... when graduations comes ill think about this site and you people :heart: :love:

    Just so you know, BMI and a lot of 'scientific' formulas have to be taken with a grain of salt.

    For instance, I am 6'0" tall and weigh 215-220 depending on the day. According to BMI I am 30.0 or considered OBESE.

    Ok, I know I'm a chunky monkey, but cmon...OBESE?!?! I wear a size 32-34 pant and have a 48 inch chest. I don't quite think I'm OBESE.

    All weight loss aspects must be made personal. From the reason for the loss to exactly how you figure out where that loss should put you. Research it, you're definately worth it!

    Hi

    I'm not going there...LOL
    Seriously though it's so hard to say though, because people carry their weight so differently

    Don't be too hard on yourself
    Stick with this site, recording what you eat and working out and the weight will come off...TRY to be patient and do it the right way so it stays off for good (this time)

    Kim

    That's so true!! In the same outfit I would look the same shape as you! I'm 135lbs and only an inch or 2 shorter than you but I have a very small frame :cry:

    But yeah don't be too hard on yourself, you look good!!

    Well not reading any posts after the pic, and just by looking at the pic and not knowing how tall you are, I'd guess 120 to 125 at the most. I don't see where you could lose too much weight.

    Wow, when I read on down and saw you weigh 180 my first thought was "Are you serious!?" My very highest guess would have been 130 and that would have been stretching it. Well you sure carry it well. Good luck to you in your weight loss. :flowerforyou:
  • now , it is me asking ... "are you serious!?" lol
    Thanks for the compliment :) you as well

    I was going to assume you had my build and say 145-150. That was how I looked in that range, and damn I looked good then, just like you do now! Like I have always been told---- you carry your weight well, Skittle! Good luck with your weight loss goal, but 60lbs seems like a bit much to shave off your build. Maybe goal weight for 130 or 135 instead?

    I would have never guesses you weighed 180, maybe 140 150 tops. you look cute, I would not shoot for 60 at your height, maybe 40 would be a better goal or even 30. See how you like it.
  • How long have you been on this site? Are you doing something special - WW or Jenny Craig? I am trying to decide if I want to stick with this site only or incorporate WW or Jenny Craig.

    180 is not all bad. My goal weight is 179, but I am 5'11".

    Ive been recently there... like a week .. no im not doing anything like ww or jenny craig... it cost a lot of money for me and i do simple things at home to make it better.
    Well if you do have the money for it and want it really bad- i suggest you to do both .. :) more motivation the better!
