I'm 161 cm. I weigh 60kg which is about 10kg more than I'm comfortable with.
I blame the ease with which we can buy chocolate ice cream in this country. It should have restrictions on it like cigarettes and pictures of what happens when you eat it on the packaging.
*doh* it just occured to me that my preferred brand does in fact have pictures of fat cows on the lids pmsl.

LMAO bron!!! Love it.
For me I'm very comfortable with my body and I'm overweight... I'm currently losing weight (have lost 12 kgs so far) and I think I'm more uncomfortable with the prospect of change than my current weight.

Funny you should say that because I was thinking that it's not just being unfit and out of shape that troubles me. If I was fit and in shape I would still be bothered by being a different size than I was because I've got used to that size and to thinking of myself as that size.

Its got nothing to do with shame, but it's really none of your business what anyone weighs and perhaps you should have phrased your question differently, Because I do think it's rude to ask someone what they weigh, and then say what you've since said.

I would never ask some one what their weight was....and i sure as damn would never tell anyone mine even if they tried to get it out of me. Its just not something i publically announce.
Im not skinny...im not just a bit over weight....im the size of an elephant...no i dont like it and yes i wish i was like alot of women out there...but im not...im me...and i have to except me for me.

Girl22, I think you should have phrased your op saying you were just curious and then the whole thing might have made a little more sense.Apart from the comments that followed which just didn't make any sense to me.
I really don't think making snide remarks about Admin is the most mature thing to do, after all they are just doing there job and trying to defuse the situation.
I have found your comments to me to be rather condescending.All I have wanted to know was the reason for you wanting to know.All you had to do was say you were just curious to begin with.I feel, seeing as I posted to your original question that I at least deserved that without being spoken to in that way.
I'm going to bow out of this now as I don't think it's doing me or anyone else any good by continuing.

I'm going to answer the question because it was something I was thinking about the other day in terms of whether other people, like me, have a 'magic weight'.
For me the magic weight is 70kg. If I weigh over that, my clothes don't fit properly, my thighs rub together, I "feel" overweight and exercising seems a struggle.
As soon as I go below the 70kg, I feel so much better. My clothes fit, I don't have a muffin top and walking seems so much easier.
So for me even though there's not that much difference between 69.5kg and 70.2kg, it really seems to make a world of difference for me.
I'm about 166cm so even at 70kg, I'm still classed as a tad overweight on the BMI, but once I'm at that weight I feel like I can lose more weight whereas until I get to that weight I feel like it's a hard slog.
Hope that makes sense.
FWIW, I was 74.5kg when I got pregnant with DD and am now closer to 69kg. Next goal is 68kg.

I have just read through the posts and have a feeling that this thread is similar to the petite person constantly saying they are fat so that others deny it.
I think we are all forewarned now that the motives may not be altruistic so either don't post your details or edit them if you have already disclosed more than you want. I think anyone demanding more explanation will be disappointed.
