How much do you weigh?

[fionas]

Marydean - to answer your question about whether my 'magic weight' has varied with age, I'd say it would have but I don't know what the figure would have been when I was in my 20s because I didn't own a set of scales.

Though I do remember weighing myself at a friend's house when I first arrived in Australia and I was 24 and 54kg. I'm sure if you'd told me then that I would one day be elated to be 'down to 70kg', I would have shrieked in horror LOL. So I'm guessing that back then my 'magic weight' would have been around the 60-65kg mark.

I guess weight is a sensitive topic and I'm not totally sure what the reason was for the OP but to me you're either comfortable answering the question or you're not.

I'm not sure how 'helpful' our answers are because everyone is different and it's really comparing apples with oranges. But if I only posted answers that were 100% helpful then I'd probably post a lot less so idle curiosity is enough of a reason to ask a question IMO. It's really like asking who had a VB or who had a CS - doesn't really tell you a lot because every labour is different. Not that I want to open that can of worms, mind you.

I have a magic weight as well, 60kgs. I am 167 cm tall and medium frame I guess.

When I left school I was 52 kgs, and quickly climbed to 60 (yikes). Just before my wedding I was 72 kgs (my absolute max!). When I fell pregnant I was 63 kgs, and now at 29 weeks I am 70 kgs.

I guess I have never really had a weight problem or thought negatively about it, but I do feel more uncomfortable when I am unhealthy / unfit.

Right now I am concerned about how I am going to loose this pregnancy weight post birth, because I don't have a regular exercise pattern anymore and I will have to find time to do it with a newborn. Ahh!!

Girl22, please read the following carefully:

Our question: Why would you like to know?

Your answer: I'd like to know because........

It's not an assignment, just a one-line answer.

I am still to lose my post pg weight and do get a tad sad when i see women lose it so quickly. of cos i was like G22 and was 22, I'm sure my body would have bounced back in no time and would not have body issues like her; and perhaps wonder why I have no post baby body issues, whilst other women do...
But I'm 35, and everything slows down, sometimes i feel like the cows on the ice-cream container!

But i have a gorgeous baby, and I love it when his tiny hands grab all the fat around my waist!!

I was quite interested in this question for my own reasons.

I always imagine the wonderful ladies on this forum to be super models, i don't know why i just do. so for me it is nice to know there are real woman out there after all, of all different shapes and sizes.

Im getter better with being happy with my weight i have been up and down for years.

-when i met DH i was 63kg and lookin' hot went to the gym 6 days a week.
-when we got married 4 years later i was 80kg & feeling happy with life in general.
-post DS1 i was 83kg but feeling ok about it still.
-6 months later i hit 89kg and felt like crap, i'm not overly tall, 165cm.
- now post twins im 76kg and feeling more like the hot mumma i wanna be. who needs a gym with 3 kiddlets.

my goal is 68kg it puts my BMI where its surposed to be. my hubby is awsome he loves curves so doesn't feel i need to lose weight.

I truly hope that one day all woman no matter if your 40kg or 400kg, can look at themselves nakes and say "man i'm hot" I am such an awsome person.
and maybe one day i'll do that too. one day..

LOL me too I think its the avatars that make me think your all hot mamma's....


Well when people meet me they will always say that I am so lucky to have the body I have I am 53kg at 165 cm but its not how I feel I hate almost everything about my body and me in general, I hate DTD with the light on as I dont want BHL to see me, my body or my face, he fines this very hard to deal with as he thinks my body is great.... I have always felt this way about myself and dont expect it to change... I would love to love me but dont, I know plenty of " Overweight " ladies who love them selves and are so very comfortable within themself...

So I guess what I am saying is that I dont think it matters what you weight as long as your happy with yourself... I am trying to teach my girls to love themselves for who they are and hope they will be happy with how ever they turn out, as they will always be beautiful to me...

As for fittness I am so unfit most people would be so much fitter than me, I couldnt even make it though a gym class, if I ever went ( which I dont coz I couldnt keep up and would look really stupid, plus hate going anywhere new where I dont know anyone )

Ummmm I think I have reveled waaaaaay to much here.... for those of you wanting to lose weight I hope you achive your goals, and I hope everyone is happy with the way they are ....

i just wanted to add..
Girl22 (you're probably not reading this anyway)

i think it was just really poor that after offending the lovely ladies here, with or without intent, who took the trouble to read and post in your thread something personal to them; that you didnt have the decency to apologise to them.

just my 2 cents...

[Bathsheba]

Prama's comments about bodies not bouncing back the same way as you get older certainly resonates with me. I was able to compare as I had my first baby when I was 24... my 2nd when I was 33... and my third when I was 36. And it's not just losing weight... it's lots of health related issues... but yes things certainly do slow down as you get older. It would be easy to be a younger mum and feel smug about losing weight so easily post baby.... but life has a funny way of teaching you to see other perspectives and that same mum might find (if she chooses to have another baby in her 30's) that things don't necessarily happen as easily.

Tali also makes a good point about not associating weight with happiness and self confidence... I certainly agree there! When I was ill last summer (which resulted in a dramatic loss of weight... possibly below 60 which for me and my heavier than average skeleton was too much) I didn't feel any more self confidence... still had my old hang-ups. Happiness is so much deeper that your layer of subcutaneous fat!

I am 170cm.. and weight 90kg.. i was 96.4 4 weeks ago.. I am doing WW and my goal is about 75

[prama]

i forgot to say that i still have 2kgs to go back to my pre-preg weight, and is taking ages. but im justifying it by my boobs cos they are bigger now and they must weigh an extra 1 kg each..

[JBM]

i am 89kg, but i've lost 2.5 kg in last 8 weeks, so that is good. i am tall and about a size 14 or so. always depends on where you buy clothes. but average size 14.
being tall everyone says i don't look that big plus got size DD bust so maybe adds 2 kg just by themselves. ha ha.

its not about weight for most of us as shape... we all could( if we can be bothered) to get back to our "magic" weight... but i bet alot of us would still feel not quite right because our bodies have changed

im sitting some where between the 85-90kg mark(i didnt like the gym scales) and i am slowly loosing it but i will never have my shape back.. but i have given birth to 2 children as i grow(mentally not physically) i realise that its not important its all numbers and i need to find where i am happy.
I too dont own scales and refuse to buy them.

[prama]

good point!!
yup, shape's all changed!!!

After I had baby #5, my DH treated me to a Body Wrap. The results really spoke for themselves. I felt wonderful, my skin toned up so much, and it was so clean! I had my nice bronze shine back (I am half Native American). I have the most fabulous Before and After pics - and while it was slightly expensive, it was worth every minute. If I could have gone back a second time I would have.

Maybe look them up near you, call and find out how much and put a little aside to treat yourself. For most of us its just the stretched skin, and trying to tone that back in can take time and effort and well, tears. This did half the job for me in one hour!

Man, cant you tell I work in advertising - I sound like one! No, seriously. I ain't trying to sell anything - just sharing the joy.

ETA: I just remembered that my sister sent me a recipe. Perhaps we can go on an internet ingredient hunt and see if we cant treat ourselves anyway. Just go find the file now, LMAO!

Maybe the website should have a biggest loser thread, where we can all lose weight together With b4 n after shots.

There is one hon... under Diet and Weight Loss... I think it is called body transformation...
