Interesting. Being okay with the way I look I thought I would guess closer to reality.

Thanks for the link. I'm 3.5 sizes smaller than I think.

Sometimes I'm shocked when (similar height) people share their weight and I'm about 30 pounds heavier, yet they look heavier than I think I do. They're either not being truthful or their frame is much smaller than my own and I have a lot more muscle. The incongruency throws me for a loop.

That's what I said...tried to shorten the quote and messed it up pretty good!

This is so true. I was "average" for many years. But I was also overweight most of my adult life and obese for the last few years. Just because most people are overweight that doesn't make it healthy.
