    I've had bouts with anorexia and bulemia for the past 13 years. Does that answer your question? ;)

    I think I look good where I'm at right now, but if I step on a scale (which my husband forbids me to have in the house out of concern due to how obsessed I can get over my weight) I'm sure I won't like what I see. So I stay away from scales. I know my weakness.

    i would like to loose about 10 more pounds before summer but that's not going to happen unless I give up what I eat every morning which isn't happening.

    I have been on a roller coaster with my weight for about 7 years now. I was at a good weight, 140lbs. at 5"7' (and still thought I needed to lose some) then I gained alot of weight (almost 200lbs.) Then I lost alot of weight (weighing 150 lbs.) and now I'm slowly climbing back up again. I don't ever want to get to where I was when I weighed around 200 yet I find if I don't keep excercising and not eating too much fat, that weight seems to go back on instantly. It's very frustrating that I don't have the same metabolism like I did in my early 20's. I'm trying to get in better shape before we get pregnant so I can look and feel good during my pregnancy.

    Awww that's sad *hugs*


    Never understood why people care so much. Unless it's life threatening then really it's not a problem. Fashion magazines have a lot to answer for, but honestly why measure yourself against some air brushed model, they're probably not that happy anyway.

    Never had a problem with my weight. Probably never will because I eat healthily, excersize and don't care how I look in a swimsuit (probably because I'm too distracted by actually swimming)

    I am happy with my weight. I guess if I could change one thing I would like to be shorter. It's sooooooo hard to find pants that are small in the waist but are long enough to fit!!!! And when i do find a pair that fits they are like almost $100!!!!

    I'm feel ok with my weight. it's not something that worries me too much. When i was younger i was rather large (but not that much, puppy fat i guess) but now I'm only 9 st (probably 54 kilo)

    I gained about 10-15 lbs. over the last couple of yrs. due to stress and family issues...it is slowly coming off...accept for that, I'm pretty OK with my weight...I'm usually medium build, now I'm medium, slightly chubby build...never wanted to be skinny, which is a good thing, since I'm not naturally inclined to that anyway.

    I love myself for who I am and I think I'm damn hot. LOL Boyfriend agrees.

    But I still work out and eat right because I care about myself and I want to be healthy. I would like to lose more fat from my body, but I don't obsess over it or anything. I would like to be stronger, that is why I'm on a sculpting program right now. I want to kick some ass! hehehe.

    I don't really care about the number on a scale, but I could exercise a bit more. I'm NOT fat, but I would like to get a little more muscle in my tummy. I'm starting to do 25 crunches a night. Eventually I'll get it up to 100. Not fat, but because of style of the pants I wear, my middle bulges out a little at the top.
    Yeeeah...

    after years of battling anorexia and bulimia when i was younger, i am pretty happy with my weight. i am 5'7" and about 140-145, and i have a mediumish bone structure, if i loose much i look really skinny and people make comments. but i'm really out of shape, and i'm getting older, which is harder to accept (sometimes). other times, i think, fuck it. usually i'm in the latter camp...i wear glasses...fuck it. i don't wear make up, fuck it. you don't like the way i look? don't look at me then!

    I'm happy with the weight, getting in shape for running season, wear glasses, hate make up, love my long hair, which wouldn't be as impressive if I was taller;), don't shave, hold down a professional reporting gig... no issues here...except i've a set of breasts, slightly used, for transplant once the tech gets up to speed. ;)

    Depends what I'm wearing. It's really amazing how much of a difference well-fitting clothes can make. And they're hard to find. Somehow pants are never long enough and are too tight in the thighs but too baggy in the waist. So I have to wear a belt just to keep them up and the belt creates all this rippling in the bagginess of the waist so I end up looking awful.
    Lately i've been going through periods where i'll be either really gung-ho about losing weight or really gung-ho about accepting my body. I just need to find the happy medium. Actually, I KNOW what the happy medium is. It helped me lose 15 pounds last year (which I have indeed kept off). It includes 20-30 minutes of jogging a few times a week, drinking a lot of water, and eating sensibly. And it was freakin' easy. But damnit it's all just a matter of DOING. Sorry about the rant.
    Anyway, back to the original question....

    Overall, I am happy with my body though (as the consensus seems to be) i could stand to lose about 10 pounds. :rolleyes:

    worries you because you think you weigh too much, or too little? I'm only 5'1" and I weigh somewheres aroudn 150 (yes I'm overweight, but not outrageously so)
