I don't want to say it at my current weight. However when I was previously at goal a few years I was usually around 134. Everyone always guessed 115 to 120. I always laughed and said I was 134. Ah how things change!

I've also been very secretive about my start weight. My close friends are starting to catch on though as I tell them I've lost 36-37 lbs and yet the physical changes so far are small. I've promised my best friend that I'll tell him the start weight when I'm somewhere "less shameful". I think that's probably going to be when I make that glorious trip to onederland.

I love it. I wish more than a few people had any sense of manners. It's bad enough when they say the things they do, but then if you're at all gently offended, they are then either mystified and confused, or proceed to say there's something wrong with you.

We Brits are plenty rude and unkind to each other in lots of other ways, we're just all to frightened to ask a direct question.

I told my boyfriend how much I weighed today, and he couldn't believe it. He thought I weighed like 130lbs (um, seriously?? He obviously does not have a good eye for weights, lol).
On one hand, this makes me feel good. Much better than looking like I weigh more than I actually do, I suppose. But on the other hand it kind of annoys me too. I don't know why it does, lol.
It does feel good to say how much I weigh though. It's like I own the number now, I control it. I would be comfortable saying "Hi, my name is Megan, and I weigh 167lbs." Hehehe

I use to care but then again I was 534 pounds at my highest, now that I am in the 320's I don't care who knows, almost everyone that I have told knows that I have lost 206 pounds so far and I always see them do some quick math in their head and then I get a look like "woah dude!" lol so yeah...I really don't care any more

I rarely have anyone ask how much I weigh. I guess I look lighter than I really am. I volunteered the info to a co-worker who I knew was on Weight Watchers (after she called me "tiny.") It seemed to really blow her mind at the time. I later overheard her telling another co-worker, " She weighs 152! When I hit my goal, I can look like that!"
My hubby didn't know how much I weighed until a couple years ago. A female friend of his lost a bunch of weight and was 120 lbs on a 5"2" frame. He said to me, "Isn't that how much you weigh?" I was 148 at the time. I gave him a big hug.

This is exactly why I don't discuss my weight with anyone. No one needs to know my numbers--and I don't need to know theirs!

my bf has always known my weight. I don't tell anyone else, except for medical reasons. I figure no one else needs to know. I would find it rude for someone to ask me, I take it be personal information.
