Whenever I tell anyone my weight, male or female.. they always say the same thing: "You don't LOOK like you weigh 150lbs!" I know they mean it as a compliment, but they all keep saying the same thing... so I'm wondering now...

WHAT DOES 150lbs LOOK LIKE?

Any ladies want to share photos of yourself at 150lbs? Thanks. I'll take some of myself and post them up after the baby wakes up from her nap :)

    eh, doesn't really matter... You are also 5'10" which is tall for a women, so your 150 is spread out. Now if you were 5'2" 150, you would look bigger because of the frame.

    I'm tall like you and even when I'm really skinny I weigh a lot more than most people. I see you want your goal weight to be 125. You will be sooo skinny at 125! OMG I couldn't even get my body that small. lol

    I hate that statement, everyone carries weight differently. ani_banghead3.gif

    And it all depends on your muscle tone too. I have weighed 150 at two very different times in my life. Once I was not working out and younger so I guess my metabolism was better. :laugh: But I looked a lot bigger than I did just 2 years ago (before I had my baby) I was weighing in between 150 and 147 and looked trimmer than I ever have. I had lots o muscles.

    So I think it is a naive statement. Someone can be 150 and be "soft and puffy" and then someone can also be 150 and be lean and trim but with muscle.

    Best advice, don't worry so much about that number look at your body and how you feel. Go by that. :flowerforyou:

    I'm 5'5" and weigh 152. I wear a size 4 and people say I look good!! Slim, skinny, tiny, are all terms I've had applied lately. Odd too, since my goal is 135, to physically be at this point at 152 pounds.
