I know this is really personal, so if you could just vote I'd appreciate it.... I just want to know where I stand, in terms of what the norm is..... I think my self image is off and I'm bad at guessing weight!

Re: How much do you weigh?
118 and proud of it! I usually do not care what I way as long as i feel good! Weight like age is only a number. try not to fixate on it.

Re: How much do you weigh?
you have to take a few other things into consideration besides just weight....
I am very muscular and so I weigh more but wear a smaller size
also height- there is no 'normal weight'
it's more important to be healthy-
from your picture you look great- don't get 'weighed'down with a number
ets- I am 5'1 and weight about 115-120

Re: How much do you weigh?
I don't mind when people ask, but that's prob bc I'm really small. Usually between 110-115 but I'm only 5'4'. Weight isn't the only factor here, you have to take height into account as well.

i would ask you doctor what is normal for you. The just updated a lot of this BMI stuff and suddenly many more people became overweight b/c of it. Your doctor will know what is right for you and your size frame.

Re: How much do you weigh?
I am 5 ft 8 and 145 pounds (as of this morning), size 8-10 (mostly 10's though) and I only wear clothes that fit me properly. I don't look heavy but having been heavy, I try not to kid myself. Never been healthier.

I agree - getting a range of women on this site is no way to gauge your own weight.

Re: How much do you weigh?
Use a BMI calculator to determine if you are obese or not.

Re: How much do you weigh?
I hate the weight game, I am so envious of those that are naturally thin! Noone in my family is HUGE but noone is thin either, and what is the definition of average anyway? It's truely something depressing, and although I do try to work out and eat pretty well, I don't think Ill ever be thin
I wish I could just have a LIPO as a part of my nightly routine, I am petrified of going on my honeymoon, and it being all thin people, I HATE bathing suites....Im a fatty fatty Mcfatty,, LOL
But I am Loved..I try to remind myself of that!

Re: How much do you weigh?
I'm not revealing what I weigh b/c when I do tell people, they're in utter shock that it's 'that much'
Ask Jess, Alicia and Qiana what they think I weigh - since they've seen me in person...
There's no 'normal' or 'average'
Weight is nothing but a number, and some people are 'heavier' but wear smaller sizes, and vice versa.
As far as the book saying you're obese - that's BS. Go to your doctor or GYN and they'll tell you better.

Re: How much do you weigh?
I am about 5'6'1/2 and weight about 140-145, depending on the week. AM I slim, not really, and I want to loose about 10 lbs, but I don't think I am obese either.
the other things is I am bottom, not top heavy so I carry most of my weight in my monstrous behind, hips, and thighs......and muscle is also heavier than fat.
and remember, some girls may be at the other end of the spectrum...being too thin is unhealthy too.

OH MY GOD - I get this all the time!!!
Even one of the stupid nurses at my GYN office said, 'You don't look that heavy' after she weighed me
