Are you self-conscious about telling people your weight?

    @Mrsdaredevil: I know what you mean about not wanting to weigh more than your SO... that's why I never dated people that were "fit". (my husband is clearly overweight)

    Yeah, I do. Since I'm on the thin side, I feel bad. People always ask me if I eat or if I have to workout. I do wish I gained a little more weight.

    I'm 117 pounds. I'm sure when I get pregnant, it will all catch up to me.

    I'm chubby/fat/fluffy and I have no issues with telling people my weight. Pre-pregnancy, I was at my highest (195ish) and now at 38 weeks, I'm about 218.

    I'm 5'3", so I look like a little dumpling fo' sho'.

    @looch: I agree. My fat shorts don't even fit me right now at 7 weeks pp and that bothers me.

    It bothers me to know my own weight over others knowing it. I didn't want to know how much I weighed when I was pregnant. I'm 5'11" and 155 at the moment. I hate it (mostly bc I cannot fit in my shorts!). I was 137 before our honeymoon which was my lowest weight since hs, then 142 when I got pregnant a month later (thanks to all the alcohol and junk food consumption during the honeymoon! Ha!). I will be happy when my fat shorts start to fit again and my weight hits 145.

    I'm usually very private about my weight, mostly because I can't stand the numbers myself. I am insulin-resistant, which makes it SO easy to put on weight, but super difficult to lose it.
    I was 198 two months ago. Since then, I've been running and "dieting", so I'm not sure what the scale would say. I'm curious - but waiting until I think I look better to weigh myself.

    @mrstilly: We're exactly the same! I am closer to 5' 11" but am also 170 right now. Trying to lose another 10 and see, but I would love to see if I could get to 150 and maintain it!

    I don't like sharing my weight with friends because DH is tall and thin while I am about 6 inches shorter but not a whole lot lighter. At my heaviest we weighed less than 10 lbs different! But post baby I stopped caring as much - all modesty went out the window.

    I am 5'4.5" and currently weigh 132 lbs. Pre-baby I was 137 and at my wedding I was 129 (gained some happily married weight). I was lightest at my college graduation at 122 but my happy weight is 125-130. I haven't actively been trying to lose weight since LO is EBF but the pounds are melting off on its own. I eat a lot too because DH thinks its cause I don't eat enough for a nursing mom.
