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!

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!
Hey I am right there with ya like I said I am 5' 7 and 160 thats not thin I sometimes wish I was thinner like when I was a teenager I wish I could go back to those days but hey I got olde and I go fatter I actually was alot heavier at one point then lost it all went down to 140 then slowly put some back on and was 165 then got prego gained another 43 pounds was 208 now a year later back down again and I am 160 I hope to keep shedding some pounds but I do it slowly
Isin't it fun?? bouncing around, I have three sizes of clothes in my closet, right now I am in the middle size....only after joining weight watchers, bc I was bursting out of my big size clothes...but Id like to get into my smaller sizes (which usually only happens with extreme stress, LOL)

I am 5 ft 8
I wish I was 5'8' I'm 5'2' and weigh between 100-105.
Edited: To try to get it out of italics...
I always wanted to be 5'2 - I'm 5'6. If I wear 3' heels I am the same height as FH - which I hate

Re: How much do you weigh?
I'm heavier then that pic.... it was taken 3 years ago! I'm about 20 pound heavier now.... I recently lost a few pounds... but t seems to be coming off my chest... how terrible! I am really bottom heavy, I wanted that to come off and my chest to stay the same.... but it's shrinking! My huge bottom is not shrinking

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.
I am built the same way as you, Jess. However, I am short (about 4'11') and definitely need to lose some weight. I can also be somewhat muscular, which I take into account. It's been a slow process, but I've lost 7.5 pounds since mid June.

Re: How much do you weigh?
it seems like you are truley unhappy with yourself right now
I have been in the same position many times in the past 10 years- since HS
I came home from freshman year a size 13 at 5'1- I went to college a size 4
I have yo-yoed from a size 13 to a size zero(not very healthy)
now after many years of gaining and losing 20 lbs over and over
I still see myself as bigger then I am - even though the size I wear now is small-
I understand how you feel- FM me if you want my diet plan and excerise routine that finally worked
you deserve to be happy!

I'm not revealing what I weigh b/c when I do tell people, they're in utter shock that it's 'that much'
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
people can be really stupid...
answer to that one- oh really, well you don't look that stupid either!
anyway, I have met Christine...and I definitely don't think she looks like she deserves that kind of response....a little chubby, but very cute so who cares....definitely no one will be cutting you out of the living room anytime soon!!
there is NOTHING wrong with having some meat on the bones!

Thanks Jess - I love my 'chub' - it keeps me warm in the winter!
The most important thing is to be HAPPY and FEEL happy - not be obsessed with a number...

Re: How much do you weigh?
It took me three long years to realize that not everyone who is 5'4 needs to weigh xxx...and that the numbers on the scale mean crap...I've dieted relentessly to get my body weight under 125lbs...its not happening...my body was not meant to weigh that little (regardless of my height) and the one time I did manage to get down to 120lbs I looked sick and EVERYONe told me I looked bad...so I am now a somewhat satisfied 130lbs (by 'somewhat satisfy' I mean that I will always need to watch my diet and what I eat - excercise will have to be a constant factor in my life if I want to stay at my current weight) and I wear a size 5/6 sometimes a 3/4 depending on the clothes...I work out hard 5x a week at thegym with a trainer and for once telling people my weight does not bother me...its just a number

I get this too!! I used to work out heavily, so I still have a lot of muscle!! I was a size 7 and yet I weighed 150 lbs at 5'3'. No one believed me that I weighed that much!!!
As for now, I'm in the ballpark of 165. Trying to lose 30 - 40 lbs for the wedding.

Re: How much do you weigh?
From an aesthetic point of view, YES weight is just a number. But for some of us, it isn't that simple.
Being a little older than some of you with MANY years of obesity behind her, I can honestly say that being chubby IS ok. But I was chubby once, and chubby became fat and fat became obese and obese became morbidly obese. As you get older it gets harder - MUCH harder to lose. I was a borderline diabetic with elevated blood pressure, joint pain and high cholesterol. I had difficulty breathing and life in general just S U C K E D. I was 32 when I had gastric bypass surgery that basically saved my life. I went from 260 to 145 pounds and now I have a MUCH MUCH MUCH healthier life and lifestyle. My oldest sister had it 6 months after me and was also quite successful.
HOWEVER, had I been in the same situation 10 years earlier, at 22, I would have had youth on my side to do it on my own without a surgical intervention. I do not run out and tell people to do this AT ALL. It was just a last ditch attempt to save myself from a horrible future. My mother is about 100 pounds over weight. She is a diabetic, cardiac patient, has high BP, cholesterol, arthritis and has just about each and every other weight related issue to deal with. She is only worried about being able to walk down the aisle because she has no energy and strength. She is spending a fortune on a custom made dress for the wedding that nobody will see because she will be sitting the whole night. Her legs don't supprt her. That was not the life I wanted for myself, but that was the direction my life was going. I chose to do something unconventional and controversial BUT I did something about it rather than complain about how miserable I was AND I WAS MISERABLE. 3 years later, not one regret and not one pound gained back.
Sooooooooo my point is, NO DO NOT BE OBSESSED with numbers. Be concerned with your health. I hope no one is ever in the position that I was in to have to use surgery as an option.

Re: How much do you weigh?
I like feeling and looking like a 'woman' I see so many girls that are so thin, they look almost like pre-pubescent boys.
granted there are many girls that are naturally very thin and try desperately to GAIN weight, probably a foreign concept to a lot of us, but to them, being under weight is just as painful as being overweight.
sometimes I will see a girl and be like, wow, I wish I looked like her...but that sometimes I see myself in an outfit that a smaller girl could't rock as hard...then I'm like DAMN GIRL...and so is my FH
CaMAcho, I do want to say that I am envious of you every time I see your epics...I think all of those positions would have given my poor fh a hernia!
