    I weigh around the 210 range, but I'm 5'11" and have a big build and so the weight doesn't look heavy on me. Even my friends think that I weigh 140-170! I guess I should consider it motivation :p

    What about you?



    Title got cut off, its supposed to say "Just for fun- how much do people think you weigh? How much do you actually weigh?"

      haha generally people are right on for me! when i was heavier people said that i looked a lot lighter because i "carried myself well" but now that i am a little lighter people are generally correct with there guesses

      That's awesome! I hear that I look like I weigh a lot less than what I weigh also. Since I've been loosing weight I'm not afraid to tell people my actual weight since I'm so proud. People are generally shocked. I have a larger chest and butt with a small waist. I think people forget to take into account that even if the fats in the "right" spots its still fat and effects that scale haha The only bad thing about it is that me down eighteen pounds, looks like me down five pounds. Apparently when you wear you're weight well, you're weight loss goes slightly unnoticed so be prepared for that! So overall when I weighed around 156 at my highest people guessed in the 130's and now that I weigh in the 130's people still guess in the 130's unfortunately.

      Ugh I have noticed that! whenever I gain/lose 20 lbs its hardly noticeable :'( But it makes me happier when the number on the scale is lower

      I am around 160 but most people think I am closer to 140. Big boobs make the waist look smaller I guess.

      People were shocked to hear that pre-pregnancy I weighed 145 lbs. (I am at 169 now after second baby) They thought 145 was a lot for me. But If I get below this I actually look sickly. I have a LOT of muscle in my legs from athletic activities(cheerleading, etc.) growing up. Muscle weighs more than fat so it does make sense:)

      I'm 179 but most pesrons guess around 165 even when I was near 200 pounds....no sure why they think I'm that light

      I weigh about 180, and a coworker of mine recently guessed that I weighed around 135. (Of course, she only weighs about 100 pounds herself, and she readily admitted that she's terrible at guessing that sort of thing. I don't even WISH that I weighed 135...that would be ridiculous.)

      People guess about 105 for me, but I'm really 120 right now after baby #3. They still guess 105 when I am 105, though...
