How much does it look like I weigh?
Replies

You look very petite. So I'd guess 125 tops coming from someone who manages to carry more than most would think. At 5'7" I tend to look ill at 130lbs ( senior in high school)0

Oh! Just reread you are 5'6 ..sorry...I would guess about 135-1450

I dunno...142? I'm 5'3" and I've weighed everywhere from 115 to 210. A few things I've learned? People think I'm taller than I am,people think that I weigh less than I do, some people think I'm pregnant, and people think I'm about about 6 years older than I am. The biggest thing I've learned? I couldn't care less what they think because it doesn't change the quality of my character or my life. Just shrug them off. Who cares if they believe you? What difference does it make?0

You're turning your body/posting high angle shots. You're trying to look smaller than you are (aren't we all), so how is that going to help people guess.
Self esteem. Get some.0 -
people always think I should weight more base on my height (5"7). Well, if you look at " average " weight, I am on the low side, but you know what, I have a small frame and I have no breast. I am 32A and if you compare me with someone who has 36C breast, I saved 20lb ;-P0

It's hard to see how much muscle you're carrying, but you probably look around 145? You're about my height, but clearly with a smaller frame, and you don't seem to be carrying a lot of weight through the obvious areas (like your waist).
I get people not believing you weight what you do though. When I was sitting around 180, every man in my life fought me tooth and nail that I couldn't weigh more than 150 (which was sweet of them, but it wasn't to be nice, they just genuinely didn't believe me). I actually ended up getting on a scale in the middle of a party to prove it to them.
Women's bodies can carry weight really deceptively.0 -
More than an unladen swallow, less than a African bull elephant.0

LOL - this thread has definitely jumped the shark...0

Depends on the shark, but I think it's a safe bet to say she weighs less than an Whale Shark. Might even weigh less than a Great White.0 -
I have been married for 42 years. One of the reasons our marriage has lasted is because when my wife asks this same question, my guess is always the same "PERFECT".
Most men learn this at a VERY young age in their dating life.
Just one ole man's opinion .........0 -
Depending on your musle mass, you can be anywhere between 125 to 145 pounds. I used to be size 8 and 120 pounds. I got in good shape and was still a size 8, but 145 pounds. The number on the scale does NOT matter

I was 130lbs and a size 8, got my butt moving and dropped to a size 3 but still weighing 130lbs.0 -

\m/0 -

I understand what you mean everyone always guesses I weigh less than I do. They are usually off by 30-40 lbs
Ok, I will go ahead and guess. You look to be about the same size and build as my wife so and you say you need to lose a little weight so.......147
**** you are literally spot on there! Great estimate. Lol0 -
2100

Going with this too. But again, weight doesn't always depict how one is viewed by others.Oh! Just reread you are 5'6 ..sorry...I would guess about 135-145

And guys I understand this is a weird question to be asking. But I did mention I am 147 just now. I run a lot and currently do weight-lifting to make myself stay small for my height. 145 is what I want to get down to so only two more pounds to go. :-)
Oh and by the way I really do look that small in person. Its not the angling of the camera or anything. Even if I were to post one just standing straight up I would still appear small like I am in the picture. Just a little quick heads up.0 -

I don't think 145 is small for your height at all, but as long as you're happy that's all that matters!0 -

I was thinking the same thing.
This thread has got me really confused. Why does it matter what other people think you weigh? I'm 5'8 and weigh 140 but most people think I weigh like 115-125 cuz they don't know jack.
Bottom line, are you happy with yourself? If the answer is yes, then you're golden.0 -
Bad pics, too far away, I'm going to guess 1430

YESS!!!! Nathan Fillion is my HOllywood boyfriend0 -
You look slender. Does it matter what strangers think you weigh?
Yes, this0 -
1420
