I am going to talk about something I've never really made public before. It is about my weight

WHOA! I have seen your pictures. You are far from fat. What crackpot told you to lose more than 100 pounds? How tall are you?

I'm 5'4" and my starting weight was 226 pounds. The goal weight is coming from standard health charts, not really a specific person. I have done research on this, and even at my height under a "large frame" body type I still would fall under that category to lose 91 pounds minimum. I either carry it well or people are being kind, because a lot of my friends have said the same thing.

You carry it amazingly. I would have NEVER guessed it. I am the same way. I am 5'8" & a half. My current weight is 180. I need to lose about 20 pounds. This is a current picture of me & people have NEVER guessed by real weight. They are usually a good 30-40 off.

Tanya!! (First of all, you look amazing, and I love your hair that color!) I would have guessed you at about 140-150 depending on your height. I think you look amazing. I know for a fact I haven't been looking my best, I've been slowly noticing photos of myself that I want to hide. But I feel like some people see it and others don't. I guess it really depends on how people feel about weight in general and how much knowing someone can affect how you see her.
