How much do you weigh?

Ok, I NEVER tell people what I weigh. If I'm pressed, I lie. A couple of months ago, I lost about 5kgs of my goal of 15kg. Then I put it back on. So, I'm trying again, but this time I want to be accountable for my progress. So I will tell you all how much I weigh, and I will not lie. I climbed on the scales this morning and I weigh 78kgs. This is the heaviest I've ever been, even when pg. I am not terribly tall, somewhere between 160-165cm. 78kgs puts me somewhere between overweight and obese :o I don't see myself as 'fat'. I know I have some weight to lose to be healthy and to reduce my risk of heart disease, diabetes... But I don't 'feel' fat - until I look in the mirror!!

So, what do you weigh and how does your weight make you feel?

i could have written that post exactly. i am 90kg as of this morning. i am 179cm tall so again, between overweight and obese. :-( and yeah most of the time i dont feel that fat until looking in the mirror or trying to buy new clothes and trying them on first.

its so annoying that it takes about 5 months to loose 5 kgs and 2 months to put it back on and then some!

I am about 94kg (I haven't weighed myself for a few weeks...trying to kick that addiction, though it should be the chocolate addiction I kick before the weighing one, lol!) I am 164cm tall, so I am in the obese category. I have been trying to lose weight...for years really. Since I tipped the scales at over 75kg, which was just after I had DD I have been trying to lose weight, or at least aware of being overweight. I hate how I look and feel, but it seems I am terribly lacking in the determination adn motivation side of things for some reason! I am finding weight loss really difficult right now though. But I will keep trying. It has to stick sooner or later!

im 175cm and 59kg, id like to be back around 56kg but thats no tgoing to happen

Well I am pregnant now but before I was about 68kg after loosing a lot of weight and doing frequent exercise with a personal trainer. My weight at 12 weeks was 72kg ( I was about 74 before Personal training)so after I stopped exercising it went up quite quickly.

I am 156cm so my BMI is 29.6 so that puts me in the overweight/obese range. I really hope I can loose it all after bubs is born.

I didn't feel really fat but I was uncomfortable in my skin.

I hope your journey is fun one and that you pass lots of goals!

I feel the same as you in not feeling fat till I look in a mirror or be in a photo.

But I'm about 165cm and 110kg :( (pre this pregnancy I was 108 so can't blame pregnancy )

I was down to 86 at the start of the year and I feel like I didn't feel any different. I barely noticed the weight gain except when buying clothes. I was clearly fitter but I still felt the same

Olive, you don't need to be any skinnier. You're gorgeous just the way you are and you already need to run about in the shower to get wet. .

I'm about a head shorter than Olive and I weigh 1kg less :o Maybe I need to lose weight.

I am 160cm and weigh 63kg which puts me in the healthy range - just! I have just lost 7kg so feel really good, I am aiming to lose 2 more kg to be really in the healthy weight range. I am not a skinny build - I am very muscly and athletic so will never be able to sustain a weight below 60kg.

Olive I agree with Onyx, your a great weight! I'm 177cm and was 66kg pre pregnancy, went upto to 82kg. Haven't weighed myself since giving birth, but I'd like to get down to 64kg. Actually I'd like to tone up rather than lose weight. I feel grossly unfit as well so need to exercise.

I'm the same height as onyx but probably double her weight. I'm a fatty boombah.

Pre pregnancy I was 49kg and I'm currently around the 51.5kg mark.
I'm only 157cm tall though. I lost weight after having DD quite easily but this time the last couple of kilo's are taking their time.

Forgot to add how it makes me feel. I'm ok with it just (only because DS is only 4mths) but I'd still like to be my pre pregnancy weight. But I have a history of eating disorder so my weight is always an issue anyway.

i didnt realise where i posted (thought it was general chatter) so if anyone wnats me to remove it i can, very sorry

I'm like 163cm. Before getting pregnant this time I was 73kg! Before DD I was 68kg. Before TTC I was 61kg. My healthy weight and goal is 60kg (eventually 56kg, but for now 60kg).

Right now...last time I looked I was 84 kg :( crazy! I'm happy with how I look but since after DD's pregnancy I've missed my old body more, I was more comfortable in it, my style has changed a lot and I do feel more frumpy, because frankly the clothes I used to wear are not suited to my current body type. Funny, I've always said 'oh I'll lose weight' blah blah, but never followed through. But today I did a light workout for the first time in years and it felt great (given to me by my osteo, mainly upper body weights, preg and spd safe). I'm not all crazy motivated like other times, just enjoying how I feel after and realising its very easy to fit into my day with a couple of tins of tomatoes :rofl:

I'm about 168cm & about 70kg. That was last time I weighed myself. I'm heavier now than the day I had DD1.
I don't look to bad, coz I'm long :lol: but I've had it with the belly. I'm trying to eat better & drink more water. I'm a sugar & caffeine addict who doesn't exercise. I'm hoping the exercise is all I need to get to where I wanna be :lol: Cutting down on sugar is hard enough, I can't give it up :hide:

Olive I'm not offended or anything, but I agree, you're beautiful and perfect! Where oh where could you possibly have weight to lose? Your ears? :rofl:

I forgot to answer the question about how my weight makes me feel.......

I'm fine with it. I know there is lots of room for improvement but I'm fit and strong.

No probs, Olive, I'm interested in how everyone feels about their weight, not just those who feel like they need to lose weight. Why do you want to lose those 3kg's? Do you feel 'overweight', do your clothes fit differently, do you just like to see 56kg on the scales?

Weight is relative, isn't it? Your weight of 59kg is my 'dream' goal (haven't seen 59kg since I was in my early 20's!!) but you are not entirely happy with it. :)

Not at all offended Olive :) just saying you are at a healthy weight hun x

I'm currently 67kg, and I'm 165cm which puts me in the healthy range, just. I started the year at over 100kg though - have lost 35kg so far through healthy eating and exercise.

I still have more weight to lose - not sure what my end goal will be, but somewhere around 60kg would be good.

I feel really good about my weight at the moment... I'm fit and healthy, and after being morbidly obese for 5 years or so, being a normal, healthy weight feels awesome.

According to this thread I should be running for the hills crying :lol:

I'm 161cm, high 80s in weight (86 - 89 lately, dropped to 81 a few weeks back when I had gastro), and most of the time I don't care! Yeah, sometimes I'll see a photo or look at myself in the mirror and get a bit sad that I'm all fat and flabby, but mostly it doesn't bother me much.

I was about 75kg pre-pregnancy, was excited when I hit 80 the week before Ianto died, never really lost that weight before Amelia, and didn't weigh myself until a few months ago. I'll occasionally make a pact with myself to lose weight because I really should, but I care too much about my happiness to making myself miserable just to look better naked.

I'm 5ft 11 and weigh 103kg :redface:

Haven't weighed myself in a while... I'm 175cm (5' 9") and I think my ideal weight is around 65/70kg? Haven't been that in a long time. At the height of pregnancy I think I was somewhere in the low nineties and I stopped weighing myself then.

I judge by clothes... right now I'm in the "in between maternity and normal" jeans, aiming to be back in the normal jeans.

I don't like this in between stage but I know it won't last, I'll get back down to my pre-preg weight soon, which I think is around 75/80kg. Then it's a case of what do I do then? Do I exercise to get down to a healthier weight? Dunno...

I'm 5'8 and weigh that :(

When i met DP i was a very healthy 68kgs. My weight bothers me for obvious reasons as i am in the overweight-obese catergory actually i think according to BMI i almost fall into the morbidly obese catergory, yikes! :o

I'd like to be between 75-80kgs, still a little over the 'normal' healthy weight range but only by a few kilos.

The only reason I am weighing myself at the moment is because of the 12wbt and when it is over the scales will be put away again (or thrown out). I honestly don't care what the numbers say because they are in no way a reflection of either my health or my fitness level.

Even when I was very skinny (and very fit) when I was young I was in the overweight to obese weight range, I made it to the top of my healthy weight range once and had the doctor worried I was too skinny (until I stood on the scale). I refuse to follow the BMI scale, or what a healthy weight range is for me because even at the top end of that scale (healthy weight range) I look scrawny and ill.

178cm and last time I weighed myself I was 72kilos. I sit between 70-80 normally. I fluctuate alot. Personally I like my weight in the very low 70's or high 60's. It seems to be a little higher then that most times.

I am obese, unfit & unhealthy at the moment - the only reason i care about that number is because i know it reflects how my body feels despite people saying :but you don't look that big"
I would like to get back to 75-80kg, the last time i was 75ish kg though my Dr advised me NOT to loose any more (despite BMI still being high) as it did not look good with my body shape...

Do you have broad shoulders?

I do and always had wide hips so when i weighed 68kgs DP said i looked kind of awkward, like not in a bad way just i needed a bit more meat on my bones to look nice. So when i was around 75-80kgs when gaining weight he said i was a perfect size though and i grew boobs :p

pre-pregnancy I hover around the 57kg mark and am 165cm. When I am that, I feel pretty good, but my fitness is absolutely shocking :(

During pregnancy I really pack on the weight normally with DD1 I put on 17kgs and with DD2 I put on 21kgs (but, with DD2 I was recovering from a serious illness so was super fragile skinny at 47kgs :o). This time I reckon I started out at my healthiest and I dont *think* that I have put on nearly as much as the other pregnancies...could be delusional though :rofl:
I struggled to lose the weight after DD2, i think my body was loving having the extra padding after a year of unhealthy skinny. This time I am going to continue with my new-found yoga passion and see if that helps with the overall body fitness and my body image (muscle separation just looks gross on me).

I'm 165cm and 64kg so in the healthy range.

Pre-children I was 75kg and I haven't been able to exercise properly for 5 years (pelvis, back, hip issues) so I'm pretty happy to have lost weight through eating sensibly (and cutting back drastically on alcohol).

Having said that, I'm small-boned so there's a lot of fat in my 64kg! I wear a size 36 shoe, my wrists are tiny and I can wear my 5-year-old's hats because I'm a pinhead.

I'm pretty happy with my weight but I'd like to be more toned. Going to a rehab gym at the moment and slowly hope to build up to be able to use a normal gym when my broken body allows me to actually walk on a treadmill for 10 mins without spending the next day on bed rest.

im 164cm and weighing in at 57kg. before DS1 i was 67kg and didnt do anything but breastfeed and chase 2 kids around and lost 10kg :o im happy with the number but not so much the appearance, 2 kids in 14 months has taken its toll on my boobs and tummy

I'm about 163/165cm and weight 58kg atm. before kids I was 48-53kg and would like to loose that 5kg. I notice it on the tops of my thighs, and the back of my hips- a kinda apron.

I just need to get fitter really. Im so un fit with the change in lifestyle made 5ish years ago.

I think fitness is more important then fatness. but Im so unfit :(

I seem to have plateaued around 66kg post pregnancy and 160cm. Was 58kg Pre-pregnancy and only gained 13kg so I'm a bit bummed I haven't lost more weight. I'm at my best around 54kg though but that means heaps of exercise and really watching what I eat. Right now I haven't actively tried to lose weight. DD is very clingy so the only exercise I can manage is walking and I'm reluctant to change my diet too much as my milk supply has been borderline. When she gets to 6 months I'll start working a lot harder on things. For now my goal is just to not gain any weight.

I'm 163cm and hovering between 65.7 and 67kg. I was 72kg before I fell pg (in June 2009) and didn't gain anymore weight due to removing wine, salami and soft cheese from my diet. The rest of it dropped when I had DS2 and breastfed.

Ideally I'd like to get down to 60kg but that isn't going to happen unless I get off my butt and do something about it. With my recent love affair with French cooking it will never happen!

I don't mind so much the how much I weigh but I do want to look good for my DH.

I wish my thighs didn't rub together.
I wish my upper arms weren't like the cranky old lady's who used to serve in the tuckshop.
I wish my boobs were the same size as each other (preferably the the same size as the left one because it's bigger)
I wish my tummy was flatter.

I'm going for a walk after dinner ... it's 6 & half weeks til summer.... I think my wishlist is achievable (oh, except for the boob thing....)

im about 175cm and currently weigh 68kg.
the lowest ive been is 55kg and i looked and felt really unhealthy skinny (was also time in my life when i was really unwell). i sat at 60 for years before that and when i got better. i then met Dh and got up to 70. i was 73 when i got pg (mainly due to ivf drugs) and was 82kg when full term with Spock. and now less than i was pre pg.

im actually really happy with my weight. i feel about 65kg would be my perfect number. but i am really happy with what i am.

It's funny as well, because 65kg on one women and 65kg on another, even when they're the same height, can be very different, look very different, and probably most importantly, feel very different for each woman. So while 65kg night be ideal for someone whose weight is distributed evenly across her body, 65kg on a really top heavy woman may not be ideal.

169cm and 72kg. Not happy about it either (plus it's going up already!)

I was 60kg pre pregnancy (up 5kg because of the pill) and got down to 54kg at my lowest after DS. Looking back although I felt good, I didn't look good!

I feel I looked my best at 60-65kg.

I last weighed myself about a month ago and I was 67kg, feel like I have lost more but don't know as the scales were my MILs. I'm reasonably happy with my weight. I'm not happy with my stomach though! I don't think I'm doing too badly seeing I only had Buster in December.

ETA - I think I'm about 158cm

I'm 165m and currently 65kg (I am 15 weeks pg)
Before falling pg I was 63kg and pretty happy with how I looked. I had just lost over 8kg though through healthy eating and exercise.

My dream weight is 60 but I find it impossible to maintain.

I'm 55kg, and around the 1.6m tall...

I've put on 6kg this year, I'm feeling quite healthy now.

I am 63.8 and 156 cms tall. I know lots of people who say they would like to be under 65kgs but having said that it's all relative - at my biggest post kids I was 70 kgs. Earlier this year I was 67kgs and even now I am too big for what I am comfortable with. I am in size 12 for some things but minaly 14's especially bottoms and am still in unhealthy fat % range so I do need to lose more than I have. I was aiming for 60kgs with my weight loss but am shifting the goals to 58kgs now. I think that will mean a healthy BMI, room to fluctuate, and also mean I am a size 12ish in clothes.
