I have a baby shower an anniversary party and a wedding in the next 2 months to attend.
also I have just recently gained this weight so none of my clothes fit and I refuse to buy at this sizeChat Icon so I have been wearing some funky things lately

Re: Poll Tell the truth.....which one are you??with poll

I was averaging 111 when I got married. after my first son I gained 10 pounds after my second I gained 20 , so I would say Im overweight. people cannt believe how much I weigh cause they tell me I am proportionate. I dont see it I got a gut and all so who knows.

I could stand to lose more then 20 lbs...but thats not VERY over weight. Chat Icon
I think 50 or more lbs to lose is probably more VERY over weight.

To feel at my "norm" I need to lose 30 pounds -- this is to satisfy ME - of course some would say I need to lose more , but the heck with 'em Chat Icon

Re: Poll Tell the truth.....which one are you??with poll

I would say I am normal...Though I did gain some after the wedding, so ideally I would lose 5-10 lbs. to look like I did during college (which was a size 4/6). My goal is to lose it by mid-June when I have my college reunion. It's weird though, my body has just changed recently. Morphed! I went to get measured for new bras and I went up a cup size even before the minor weight gain. The weight is redistributing itself I guess.

Re: Poll Tell the truth.....which one are you??with poll

I think this is very subjective because I like to think of myself as "normal" but I know most people classify me as thin, so that's what I chose.

They say average size for a woman is a 10 - but every size 10 woman I know thinks she should lose 10 pounds (myself included when I was that size). I wonder if the women on this board ranging between sizes 8-14 classified themselves as normal, which statistically they are, or needs to lose a few pounds.

That's the average, but not the ideal weight (my doctor says) for many women. That's true though--are we talking normal as compared to average or normal for the ideal weight for our height? I went to the gym when I was under the ideal for my height and when weighed in was told, "You could stand to lose a few."

Re: Poll Tell the truth.....which one are you??with poll

I am probably about 80 lbs overweight (yes I answered VERY) but I lost 10 lbs so far. I am taking baby steps, but I'm taking them.

I've been overweight my whole life, but this is the heaviest ever - well 3 months ago before I lost the 10lbs.

I am going to WW and I walk every day.

that's exactly my point - but even what they say is a normal range isn't right. I mean, I'm 5'9" and my normal weight range is something like 125-160. That's 35 pounds! I remember going to the gym at 155 lbs and being told me the same thing (to lose a few). That trainer was lucky that I was on the treadmill and not in a position to swing at him Chat Icon

I am 12 or 14 usually, but I put really overweight. I am only 5'4" & according to the BMI charts I should lose about 60-70 pounds.

I guess I am average, butthe average is overweight, if that make any sense. Chat Icon

The BMI charts say I should be bewteen 110 & 140, but I have never weighed below 130 and that was when I was 17) I don't know if I could weigh 110.

Re: Poll Tell the truth.....which one are you??with poll

I am about 25lbs overweight, all gained since being engaged and married. My DH is on NutriSystem and has lost 40lbs in 2 months, so since we can't have junk food in the house and we had to revise our dinners etc. I have slimmed down a little but of course still want to lose more! Ideally I would like to be a size 6 or 8.
