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 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!
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
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.
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'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

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 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 Cutting down on sugar is hard enough, I can't give it up
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.

How much do you weigh?
