Do You Lie About Your Weight?

That's pretty slim

I'm almost back down to my pre-pregnancy weight of 160. My youngest is almost seven, though, so it's taken a little while. :-)

lol don't get too skinny! 160 for your height? Will start calling you slim or legs. That was my nic for my old neighbor that I grew up with. Still call her legs and she still and always has called me Polock because I am goofy:-)

Why fool myself? My eyes don't lie.

Sometimes they do. Our self image can be different than the way others see us. Not saying that is true for you, just that it is for some people. Sometimes we are more critical of ourselves. My husband and family and friends all swear that I didnt need to lose any weight but I have lost 19 pounds and I still want to lose at least 5 more pounds because I have always weighed like 115-125 so when I got up in the 140's I felt like an absolute whale when in reality I was still within my range of normal, healthy weight and didnt look that much different to others.l They all said that I finally looked healthy. I did not agree.

No debating there. I'm very much aware that there are those who are their own worst critic, because I've been a major offender, myself. I went through a time where I struggled greatly with an image complex. I saw myself, as I wanted to, with blind eyes. Thankfully; I've learned to leave that part of my life behind, and am at a point of contentment.

Why bother?

And who the hell cares? Why ever would it come up in conversation?

Anyone ask my weight that isn't an MD can pretty much kiss my fat ass. As in 'none of your freaking beeswax.'

Exactly!

:) I wondered where Fluffy went....

Unfortunately for me, when I was in school it came up a lot - from the teachers. One wanted to calculate how much weight was pressing down on the second floor in just our classroom and the other wanted an aggregate of our heights and weights to see if we would make a healthy or unhealthy person if we were totaled up. In both cases, we had to share our weight to the entire classroom. Growing up fat and being tormented for it on a daily basis, I don't forget painful incidents like that.

The teachers were definitely going beyond their purview. How horrible for you. Makes me crazy when people do that. I know that must have been terrible. People are just stupid sometimes.

I was military so weight was known to a bunch for PT and BMI. Soon as I retired, so I retired that question as being out of bounds :P

Wow, what grade level were you in when it happened? That's not something that young girls need to focus on!

7th grade in math class when the teacher wanted to tally our total weight to calculate floor pressure (the same teacher later on told us a good way to remember "acute" and "obtuse" angles was that thinner girls are considered "cute" so you could remember the angle was narrower...) and then in 9th or 10th grade when our English teacher (don't ask me how it relates to English - she did some kooky stuff) wanted to see if we would make a healthy person with combined weight and height.

I do when I'm around guys I like ;)

No......I just stretch the truth O.o

That's what lying is, babydoll.

XD

Because I honestly haven't weighed myself in forever

No, but I don't volunteer it either.

I am 5'3" and weighing about 112 lbs because I exercise everyday and never desire to overeat. No, I do not need to lie about my weight.

Pardon me, your sanctimony is showing.

Honestly, can one tell the truth without being called sanctimonious?

That's what I was thinking. I don't get that

That isn't fair. Also, I hear what youre saying about some people acting like just because someone is thin, especially a female, that they are nicer people etc. That is just their ignorant mentality showing and I would rather be fat than stupid. But it is also true that if someone is over weight they are likely at fault. Point is, to each his own and if you are comfortable with you then that is your thing but if we want to work to be healthier then that is ours. I do it because I feel less secure about myself if I let myself get heavy and it makes me unhappy and that reflects on everything and everyone around me. If working hard to feel healthy and happy makes me sanctimonious, then I guess Im guilty.

5'4'' 115 lbs. People tend to think I'm lighter. But I'm like noooope, I weigh like 25 lbs more than you think I do!...I have a slender build but at the same time it is muscular...

Speaking of lying about weights, have any of you guys ever looked at playboy models' listed weights? Idk how I came accross that, lol, but they sure looked fishy...Hmmm...

I belive in honesty about everything some one shouldn't lie abt weight every one is made different and should embrace. What they got and be proud I will tell every one now I weight 272 and proud of it cuz it was from me being prego and it was all worth it just to have him here todayand any one thinks badly abt that it is ur problum not mine and to say I am not good enofgh just cuz of it ur the one who has self esteam provlum or have non at all sokiss my fat mexican ass cuz I am big and proud and not ashamed of it!!!!!!! Big is beautiful

Absolutely. It's what's in a person's heart that matters, not a number on a scale.

Actually, if someone had a gun to my head, I'd have to lie because I'm really not sure what I weigh right now.

I'm not shame to talk about my weight, Keeping it Real ;)

It goes from about 180-190, anywhere in there. I think BMI is considered overweight, but my body fat percentage is considered healthy.

Because I don't know it. Tell me to estimate and I throw a large number at you.

I know when I left to train for the Army I weighed 127 and when I was done with training I weighed 146 but overall I was smaller. Even though I'm built with muscle, I'm classified as overweight. So I do lie about my weight.

Don't be ashamed of that! I'm muscular too, and people don't believe how much I weigh. No shame in being an athlete :).

Right now I'm 160, 5"8.... sucks I'm used to being 140 but oh well, it's way of life.... people get fat.

i wish i was bigger! 5'6" 115lbs

If I think the ought to know I give them my last known weight. I don't weight my self all the time so I may be off a few lbs but it isnt intentional.

I look 130ish but Im about 20 over that. Yiks I know :'(

5'10" and 136 lbs.

Sometimes
In 5,4 with a little stomach
I'm basically medium but solid
I look 130 135
But im like...1 some thin and beyond
But it's crazy though ......boys can pick me up and hold me for a long time too
I'm medium sized but solid

Not intentionally at least. I don't weigh myself too often so I might be off a couple pounds.
