Same here.

apparently, i'm roughly 140...

I saw this TV special about a 2,000 pound man... He couldn't even sit up!

125 pounds.

He has no one to blame but himself... how could anyone do that to themselves?!  :o



As much as no one wants to admit it, there are extenuating circumstances for why people gain enormous amounts of weight like that.

I know that it's not the same for everyone.  Some people just have no self-control and love to eat.  My friend has a severely underactive thyroid and it causes her to gain weight if she doesn't take medication for it.  Now, she could eat one bag of chips and drink water for a week, but if she doesn't take her meds, it'll look like she ate nothing but candy for a month.  It's also genetics for some people.

Come on, i've seen your pic I'm sure you weigh much less than me and I posted my weight.

Nothing but skin 'n' bones.

Between 60-65Kg

a girl usually won't tell her weight, unless she happens to be a waif or something!! ::)

I don't get it. :D

I lied on the weight on my drivers license.  You think I'm telling the DMV how big my big fat ass is?

I weigh 625 pounds.  Oh wait, perhaps I should set down these bricks I am holding, take off these 6 parkas, remove these steel boots, and take these barbells out of my pockets :D

Thats between 132-143 lb (US scales)

ya, I am pretty much stoked that in our state (PA) they don't require a weight to be stated...I mean, who the hell wants that plastered all over your license?!! ::)

It makes no sense!  Why does the number matter?  Everyone can see what kind of shape you're in or not they don't need a number.  I'm overweight myself.

Hmmm I see.  Im the same way.  I weigh 267 but i really dont look it imo, i look more like 220-230.

It's great that you aren't embarassed of your weight....but a lot of people aren't that outgoing and comfortable with telling others what they weigh. As for me personally....the numbers have always been higher than what I actually look like...that's why I don't like people necessarily knowing the numbers of my weight...because it sounds scarier than it really is! LOL! ;D


I'm exactly the same way, I weigh more than I look.  Most people don't believe me when I tell them.  I guess I'm what you called "big boned".  

I'm not sure what I weigh, I haven't been on the scale since my last doctors visit.  I don't really care what the number says, as long as I fit in the same clothes I was wearing last summer, it doesn't matter to me.

Try 16 and a half.  ;)

I have quite a frame on me so even though I weigh quite a bit it just makes me look stocky rather than fat.

I'm back to the gym in October when I can afford it.  :)

OK, I'll tell you what I weighed at my last Doctor's visit.  136 pounds.  No one better call me fat!!  LOL!!

130 now. But I have 10 pounds to go. No worries, though. I have a healthy self-concept. However, for my height (5'2), I need to return to my height I was three years ago (120). No less than that though.

Nah! More like a gorgeous model.  ;)




and who says that plus sized models can't be gorgeous too?  There's way too much emphasis put on people's weight.....I have seen all sorts of people who are beautiful....fat and thin.

Oh my God, Becky,
Look at her butt.
It is so big.
She looks like one of those
Rap guys' girlfriends
But, you know who understands
Those rap guys.
They only talk to her because
She looks like a total prostitute.
Ok
I mean her butt,
It's just so big.
I cant believe it's just so round
Its like out there.

I like big butts and I cannot lie  8)

I agree!  I was just joking with him.  What gets me is that I wear a 12 or 14 and that's considered plus size in the fashion industry.  Um, hello?!?!  The most common size is 12, it is not "plus-size".

No wonder girls have eating disorders (myself included, when I was a teen!!!).  I realize now that I am nice looking, I dress to flatter my body shape and I love my curves!!

I hear ya.  That's what I liked about old time actresses...etc....a lot of them had curves and they were proud of it.

Marilyn Monroe was a size 16, I believe.  If she was around today at the height she was in the 50s, she would be called "fat", which is sad.

More cushion for the pushin'!

Let me add my two cents here: Curvy is one thing; fat/chunky is something different.

Marilyn Monroe was curvy. Neil Carter was fat/chunky.

Beyonce is curvy. Roseanne is fat/chunky. There's a difference - to use the word curvy to describe a heavy woman is inappropriate b/c it doesn't describe her correctly. When you see curves there are clear lines that you see when one avenue ends and another begins.

Marilyn Monroe in "Some Like It Hot" with Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon. She's a good size girl, very curvy and spectacularly gorgeous with her size 16 or whatever she was. just an amazing lady. and she was funny in that movie. I recommend that film to anyone that wants to enjoy Marilyn in a fun comedy and also to see how that was the desirable look back then.

Well, I have seen women who are beyond just having a few extra pounds that also are still what I'd call curvy.  Not all big women get the 'boxy' no shape look.

I've gained 10 pounds.. My 130 pound measurement was my last measurement.

I'm putting on weight.

[quote author=

Since moving in with the other half I have put on 28 pounds........that's what being content does for you!  ;D

I know a lot of women hate revealing how much they weigh. I did for a long while. But then I figured, HEY! You can see the fat on me, so who the f*** cares!

I weight about 310 right now. It sucks, and a lot of it has to do with the fact that I let myself go back to my horrible eating habits when I was pregnant. But I sort of forgot to switch back after giving birth. It has nothing to do with the fact that I eat junk food, but the fact that I have lost my control over how much healthy stuff I eat. Let me tell you, I hate sweets, despise fast food, and just totally skip the junk aisle at the grocery store. Now that we're in our own place though, I have control of what how much of something is made. So there you go. I did weigh 330, but the combination of moving stuff, sweating like a pig in the humidity, and, according to my husband, higher elevation, made me drop 20 lbs.

It is slow going, but our apartment complex has a gym, so you can bet your sweet a** I'll be over there working out 4-5 times a week.

I forgot to add that the only health problem I have is the fat itself. I have low blood pressure, low cholesterol, and a ton of energy...if I don't stay up until all hours of the night. :p

I'm too light for my height - I weight about 59 kg/130 pounds (I'm 5'8"), so hopefully I can built a bit more muscle. I'm not really obsessed with things like that, but it would be nice to show off a little to the gals, lol.

That's like what my brother was (he's 22 now) a couple years ago, but he's about 140 now.  I used to hate when my brother was 130 (5'9") and my dad would make fun of me 'cause I was 135 (5'1").....and he used to get on my @$$ because I weighed that much and he'd always ask me how much I weighed, then I'd tell him and he'd be like "What?  That's terrible!  Mom was like 120 when I married her!"  I told my mom he said that and she was like "Yeah I was....but I practically had to starve to death to get to that point".

Then again my dad's always been the one that was obsessed about weight and looks.  Oh my gosh once we had this fight about....'cause he said something about my cousin, that he was suprised he gets girlfriends because he's not that good looking.  And so I said "Ya ever think that looks don't matter?"  Then he got really ticked and was like "Looks are VERY important dearie!  I wouldn't have went out with mom if she was fat and I don't think she would've went out with me if I was fat either!"  That's something that made me cry myself to sleep.

I think I taught him something since then though 'cause we had a lot of discussions like that and I always proved him wrong.... now when he asks my weight (I'm the same weight, but I grew an inch), he's like "That's pretty good".  *Phew!*

applause for being honest and proud of who you are...and congrats on the weight loss so far...I know how hard it is to lose weight....keep up the great work! :)

About 155-160

The attitude your dad has is the reason so many young girls are anorexic and/or bulimic, and he is very wrong. You keep on with your way of thinking, it is much healthier for you.  It is sad that your dad is so obsessed with looks, you will find out that it is the heart that makes someone beautiful, and you sound like you have a head start with that  ;)

I know that it's not the same for everyone.  Some people just have no self-control and love to eat.  My friend has a severely underactive thyroid and it causes her to gain weight if she doesn't take medication for it.  Now, she could eat one bag of chips and drink water for a week, but if she doesn't take her meds, it'll look like she ate nothing but candy for a month.  It's also genetics for some people. 


I don't have a working thyroid at all, but I've been able to manage my weight fine (of course, due to my medication).

I can understand being a couple hundred pounds overweight, but I think people who get into the 1000lblimit are basically giving up on ever losing weight again. There's eating a lot and then there's just overdoing it. It can be managed.

I have gained weight in the last 3 years gradually. I was between 95lbs and 100lbs, now I have gone up to 115. I am feeling it, too.

on earth - 190 pounds
in space - 35 pounds (give or take a few pounds)
wearing a suit of armor - 265 pounds

The thing is you were at an okay weight for your height.


You're right, and that was why I didn't understand why he thought it was so bad, I really didn't care about it till he said anything, I was like 12 at the time.

That's a good point and I think it's true.  He seems to think that a person would only go out with someone because they think they're good-looking.  I for one, am more attracted to the way a guy makes me feel, and I find that to be a blessing to be honest, lol.  Whenever he makes weird comments like that I tell him "Not everyone thinks the way you do".

I'm about 5'7" and I weigh 105 Ibs. I eat a normal amount of food. :)

My ideal weight is about 125-130 Ibs. Gaining 20 Ibs. sounds hard, though, and I don't really know how to go about doing it. I feel like I would need someone who understands my body well to act as a constant guide with both my diet and training... Otherwise I just wouldn't stick with my program - I wouldn't really know what I'm doing, nor would I have much support, and I would lose faith in it rather quickly as a result. I know that might sound a tad lame, but it is unfortunately the most realistic outcome. :)

Close to 160.I eat plenty of Subway,drink plenty of water and eat cereal every single day including weekends and holidays.

I decline to state my weight. :-X


You must be kidding!

I'm 5'7" and 129 lbs which is a little bit too thin for me.  I would like to be 135.  Now I know this is a difference of only 6 lbs, but I only gain weight from the top of my knees to below my waist, so the smallest amount of weight makes a big difference.

And I agree with you Alex, I don't get why people care if someone knows a number that's associated with their size.  If I'm looking at you and you look like you weigh 150 and then you tell me you really weigh 178, am I going to like you less?  I don't think so.  And if there is anyone out there that really would do that, well you probably don't want to be their friend anyway.

You're right, and that was why I didn't understand why he thought it was so bad, I really didn't care about it till he said anything, I was like 12 at the time.

My motto is "live for you, not others." Set realistic goals for yourself, not for the insecurities of others (yes, even for family).
