    Looks can be very deceiving in terms of trying to guess someone's weight. Bone structure, height, proportions can throw off any guess.

    Also, sherm on the dresser can be distracting.

    I've never heard that term before. Sherm. Haha. But then again I don't smoke so that's probably why.

    it's actually a term for a joint dipped in pcp. so i don't know if it's all that relevant. i'm not down with the kids jive these days.

    I'd never heard it before either, but then again I've never been to any of the cool parties where they smoke angel dust.

    Dont care about your weight! Why you might ask? Well ill tell you why, take someone who weighs 160 and just got done their cut (or diet whatever u prefer to call it) and they look vascular and tonned, but on the other hand someone else who weighs less or the same weight as them looks extremely overweight. How is this possible? Because weight has nothing to do with it (at least for the average human) the slimmed tonned person could have a 9% body fat while other guy who is the same height weight and gender as him has around a 20% body fat and they look 50 lb heavier than him. Dont obsess about your weight and the scale, focus on getting a low body fat percentage because at the end thats what people are realing trying to achieve.

    For all you people who took my post and turned it into a bag of weed.

    Seriously?

    It's a military blousing strap package. You put them around the bottom of the pants of a uniform to tuck them into your boot.

    Thanks for the laugh.

    For those who cared to answer my question I am 5'1.

    Can't really tell much from those pictures.

    True but I think she still looks good from what I can see.

    you know what though? When i saw her picture i thought to myself she's around 140. Then i read her post and i'd have to agree thats what she looks like.

    I'm 5'1.

    I weigh between 120-122 but still think I look fat in my stomach.

    If you had to guess what would you say I weighed by looking?

    I think I look closer to 140. Do you think I look 140 or do I have some weird body image disorder going on, and if I do look larger than 122 how in the world do I fix my stomach so it looks like my scale weight?

    I think you look fantastic!! I am not good at judging weight, but why would you care if others think you weigh 120 or 140? Are people really going around making those guesses? You look great! And I'm sure that's what everyone notices.

    I took a new one. (With the MILITARY BLOUSING STRAP BAG) To prove it's not weed..

    How do I get my stomach to look my scale weight?

    Since the one lady said I do look 140.

    I don't want to lose anymore weight. I'm 5'1 and 122.0 ( that was taken now after breakfast and lunch. Usually morning weight is 120-121)

    You shouldn't worry about losing more weight just because ONE woman guessed 140! It doesn't matter what weight people guess. You look great. Do you feel great? Do you WANT to lose more weight? That's all that matters!

    I don't. I just want to look my weight. If I lift won't that only tone arms?

    I guess I'm confused on how I can go about looking what I am. As a short person I'm still really soft.

    Also I think I look 140. Lol I just don't feel I look what I weigh.

    if lifting correctly, your core muscles should be activated as well

    You look how you look. I'd suggest lifting weights at maintenance if you don't mind slowly recomping or lift at a deficit to lose fat more quickly while you do it.

    Lifting, a good, full body program, will target the core and abs. It will help some, but there's no magic solution. Some of us carry weight in the middle, some in our hips and thighs. Don't focus too much on the scale number. Improve you fitness or endurance and start lifting. It helps change the mindset from "weight on the scale" to "performance and what the body is capable of".
