They weigh a lot more than they look like they do? I see girls that are my same size and weight 15-20 POUNDS less than me. It's just so crazy.

 

Anyone else have this issue? I could be wrong...any guesses on how much I weigh?

i dont know your height but i woul dguess 110-115??

i have this problem too.

i have a lot of problems like this lol

I"m 5'9''...

 

and jesselou your pics are adorable! :] Love the hat.

I'm 5'2, but built "solidly"... no one believes I weigh as much as I do, let alone that I ever reached my highest weight of 226 lbs at one point.  I tell them I have at least another 20 lbs to lose, and they think I'm crazy "you'll be skin and bones"...

I'm 6'0" and people are always surprised when I tell them my weight. I've been told almost every time that I "carry it well". It's really hard tho when you're trying to lose weight and you don't realize how small you are. It's only at my biggest do I realize how small I was in the past. 

It could simply be a question of how you're getting your information about other people's weights. I had gotten up to 289, but I still put 235 on my driver's license. Sometimes people lie...especially when their weight is concerned.

OP- I'd guess 150, just from your upper body, since it looks like you work out. 

I'm the same height as you, and when I went into S1 to update my ID after my pregnancy and told the SGT I was 185lbs he just stared at me like I was crazy.  I said, no, really, that's how much I weigh.  I think most people don't realize how much of a weight difference there is between muscle and fat.

I def do. 


Ever since I was a kid, when I go to the doctor, the nurse always puts the weight thingy 50lbs lower than it should be and then tries to adjust.  It's hilarious every time!  Haha.

awww thanks, you're adorable.

hmm 5'9" huh.

you look thin!

i know its like aaah thats not fair why do some ppl who look just like me weigh less but remember its just a number.

dont let it define you

I think you're lucky if you look thinner than your weight, since being heavier = higher metabolism (esp if its muscle mass). I think I weigh less than I look =p

I'm going to guess 135! You are tall which makes a BIG difference to how much you can weigh while still looking slim and gorgeous (which you are!)

i guessed your height at about that...   but now i am intrested in your weight and i do not want to guess... but you look nice and fit regardless of the actual number.

Thanks for all the replies, guys! My actually number right now is hovering uncomfortably around 148-149 lbs. I'm about that in all my pictures, except for the side-view one in the strappy black dress. That was this summer, when i was about 144.

I've always been able to maintain 144 until this quarter (January-present) in which i suffered a breakup, amazingly terrible housemates, a super-tough course load, and in-turn did a lot of emotional eating and gained about 5 lbs I think. One, maybe, might be muscle, but i'm working at getting back to 144 for now. It's so hard.

i would have guessed 140, knowing you have muscle and all...

but honestly i thought the one in the jeans looks the smallest, to me anyway.

also someone with your body type (fit/muscular) i think can lose weight far quicker then... when someone becomes out of shape and has a higher body fat%.

good luck with your goals and know you look good right now!  =)

I wish I looked like I weigh less than I actually do. People I work with claim that I look lighter than I actually am. I tell them I still have 10-15 lbs to lose and they think I'm nuts - I try to avoid the conversation b/c I think they're starting to worry about it actually. None of them can believe I started at 170, and that I'm still 145.

So I dont think I look like I weigh less than I actually do. But I guess other do... Which is kinda nice, I guess.
