I'd guess 150-160 -- but with a front on picture it is very hard to judge.  Actually with any picture it's hard to do.  I'm basing my call on how I look(ed) at those weights -- but pure guess

I'd say 145ish

Ditto.  I'm 5'6, so based on what I looked like at various weights, I would say around 160.

I am guessing 170...just based off one picture, though...

I'm not sure what you are hoping to hear. You have to remember that you are asking a bunch of mostly veteran "dieters" -- we know how the body often weighs more than it looks, muscle can be very deceptive.

Most "regular" people -- that is people who have always been at a "low-normal" weight -- have a terrible idea of what some people weigh. I have had to get on the scale in front of some of my "friends" -- because no one wants to believe that I still weigh more than 150 (usual guess is 120 -- shucks, ain't been that since I was 11...)

140 something-ish, possibly between 135-140

However EVERYONE carries weight differently so it is impossible to say for sure. I think it is better to judge how you look to yourself in the mirror and just to use the scale as a guidance.

I'm going to say 145ish. 150 tops. :)

I say 150 - again merely based on what I know about my own body. I do think this is a dangerous game to play though as you might be pleased or not pleased about what we say and instead you should only be focussed on how you personally feel about yourself. Undecided

i'm guessing 145!

145ish

I'm 5'6". Based on what I looked like at various weights, I'd say 160-170.

Id guess around 160

I am going to jump on the 155-160 train

I'd say 145-155

150-160

I would probably guess at around 160-170 as well, but that's mainly because I have a body type that people can't BELIEVE I weigh 210lbs, and it looks like you have the same body type. (And these people aren't within normal weights, for the most part, many of them are also large, so they really should judge my weight within 20lbs at least, but they're always 30-40lbs off).

So, don't keep us in suspense. I would guess 165. Course I am a guy, so I have a difficult time transferring the difference in my head. I am currently between 157 and 158 and have been as high as 165. Am at 49 trying to still run a bit, so I would like to get down in the low 150's to upper 140's to keep my knees or at least whats left of them.

160? 

 

Clarice

155?

Without looking at the other replies I was also going to say 155.

I see now that others guessed about the same.
