How much do I look like I weigh? (answer below in post)

SeaStar430 · September 2009

I'm 5'6", how much would you guess I weigh here?

Would you guess 186lbs? I feel huge! I've gained 34lbs and needed to lose about 15-20lbs to start, so I feel like this picture must not look like me at all. And yet, there it is. I'm measuring average, not a big baby, so the weight is mostly in my face and thighs and butt. I feel much more huge than this in real life, and people who see the pic who know me say "wow, what a great picture!" which I think really means "wow, you look much bigger than that in real life!"

Maybe it's the angle. *sigh* I can't wait to have my baby so I can hold her in my arms and be "me" again.

i am right there with you. when i tell people how much i've gained/how much i weigh, everyone says "there is NO WAY" or "you're carrying it so well!!"

i want to carry the baby to 40 weeks or more, but i can't wait for get back to myself (and my normal weight!!) haha

186?? No way! I would have never guessed that. But it is a cute picture! You don't look like 186lbs at all.

you look great and don't look huge at all!

You don't look it. I was going to guess 155. I'm about the same height and build but I think my butt and belly look bigger than yours, and I'm 164. I don't think you look big at all.

Are you kidding me? I would have honestly said 145 at the most. Don't worry about it, little lady. You look terrific, and that's not just flattery coming from a fellow pregnant woman. One day you'll look back at pictures of yourself and say, "I was an adorable pregnant lady!" So try to take your mind off of it.

I think your scale is broken. You look great!

DiaMT · September 2009

I would have never guessed 186. You look tiny......all baby. You carry it well and I think you look fabulous!

That IS a great picture, though. And I'm sure you look equally great in person.

I'm right with you. I'm 5'5 and at 176. I'm up 30 lbs. I'm afraid to take pictures of myself! People tell me my bump looks small (of course, it feels huge to me) for 7 months pregnant, and I'm wondering where all this weight is going! I've noticed a little bit of roundness in my face, I'm up two cup sizes, and my love handles are growing weekly. But I still can't believe I've gained 30lbs already. But, the doctor isn't concerned. So neither am I. (Or, that's what I'm telling myself, anyway).

I think you look great! personally i feel the huge too! But i guess thats just how it goes.

Dude, I was going to guess like 145. You look TINY to me.

I'm 5'7" and I'm now tipping the scales at 188. It floors me.

MCapler · September 2009

I would have guessed 145. You carry it really well! You look great : )

hellopoppyseed · September 2009

Wow you look great!! I would never guess your weight. Really it looks like all baby. I don't think it matters what the scale says but how you look and feel. And I am with you too. I'm almost 5'5" and I have gained 50 pounds for a grand total of 178. I outweigh my husband now.

You look great!! I know how you feel though.. I weigh more than I thought I would right now but I just look at it this way... I feel great, I still walk my dog with my husband, eat healthy (with an occasional sweet treat) and I absoluley love my belly!! Soo.. as long as you feel great... and look great (like you do) screw the scale!!!

angie05161 · September 2009

I was going to guess around 160...you look fabulous! Enjoy the compliments, it is a great picture. I think we all feel huge now...I'm not even going to share my number. Lets just say it's more than some of you are posting, and you're all taller than me. Sad

Now I just feel down again...had a little crying fit last night over that and many other things.

notelizabeth · September 2009

you do NOT look like you weight that much!

and i tell people how much i've gained and they tell me i don't look like it either. i always thought they were just being nice. maybe it's true though? i'll pretend.

GreenEyedGal · September 2009

I was honestly going to guess 130. You look great!

You look awesome. Stop being so hard on yourself. You are growing a healthy baby and u will be gaining more weight. Try not to be so critical on yourself. You will lose the weight after baby is born and u look great.
