weight/self-image survey

5'4" and weight about 128. I would love to weight 120, but no matter how much I excersize (which is everyday), and lower my calories, I just can't do it. I think my body fights to stay at that weight. I am extremely busty, so that is probably some of the weight. My husband thinks I look great. I just wish I did. I am 40 and need to stop comparing myself to 20 year olds.

I used to be 118lbs but after 3 kids I'll take it. I like having a little extra in the hips but could stand to lose the tummy.

We have some people wiht some pretty serious self-image/eating disorders posting on here, don't feel bad. Case in point, look at the person posting just before you, she is 5'6" and seems to think 126 is a bit flabby. There was another poster at the beginning 5'9" and thought she was "about right" sub 120#s. I'm sorry, 5'9" and under 120 is pretty disgusting. Not skinny, just plain old disgusting.

I'm 5'9" and 150 (fat by these standards) and I think I look pretty damn good.

22:05 is dead on. I'm a PP who freely admits she has issues.

I'm 5'5" and 153 two months post partum. I definitely don't feel my best, would like to get down to about 130 and am working diligently to get there.

Totally depends on your body type and muscle. I'm 5'8 and 135 is my best weight, even with a lot of muscle. I'm not there now. If you took my body and made it 5'1, 130 would be fat on me. Doesn't mean it's fat on you.
