Does this look like a 133 lbs to you?

FloridaShell · 07-06-2008, 12:07 PM

I was looking at this pic of myself and I'm thinking, it looks like I weigh more than 133! Is it a warped self image??

Or do I look heavier.....Be honest!!

qbu · 07-06-2008, 12:08 PM

I think you look great! I'm not sure what 133lbs is supposed to look like since I haven't seen it in a lot of years!

Congrats on your success!

cskies · 07-06-2008, 12:14 PM

honestly 133 looks fantastic on you!!

CherryCola · 07-06-2008, 12:16 PM

First off, you are too cute!!

Second, how tall are you?

You are beautiful!
You are not a number!
Enjoy your success of becoming healthier.

MountainGirl · 07-06-2008, 12:32 PM

133 looks different on different people!!

Personally, I agree with uniquelymade, you are not a number on a scale.
You are really lovely and I wouldn't be concerned what the scale says, but by the way you feel and look in your clothes.

Dee1904 · 07-06-2008, 12:33 PM

I think you look great!

Sharon · 07-06-2008, 12:41 PM

You look wonderful - forget about the #

jessicavol · 07-06-2008, 12:43 PM

I think you look amazing. However, if you feel like you look heavier it may be how the design of your top plays off on film. I have a few clothing items that I love to wear but, they don't seem to photograph well on me.

hummingbird11 · 07-06-2008, 12:44 PM

you look FANTASTIC!!!!!

do you have a BEFORE photo? that ought to help you see the difference.

YellowRoseTX · 07-06-2008, 12:47 PM

You look lovely!!! And so happy!

I wouldn't be toooo concerned with what the scale says, but I know we all think about the number on that darn thing

You look fantastic.

Meg056 · 07-06-2008, 12:47 PM

You look great. I sure wouldn't look that good at 133. That is an awesome weight.

suzanneyea · 07-06-2008, 12:48 PM

Forget the number, you look and feel great.

quizzical1 · 07-06-2008, 01:02 PM

TOO TRUE ! Well said.

Having seen you in person, I can tell you, you carry 133 pounds BEAUTIFULLY.

TaDa! · 07-06-2008, 01:05 PM

Sweetie .... you look great!!!! I weigh about the same, lol! and am three inches smaller ... but I will tell you, we gals with the big chests are not going to look twiggy in pictures, especially with a print top on. I am CERTAIN you look very thin in real life and are the right weight for your height. Just look at those beautiful slim thighs on you ... I do not think you could afford for those to get any thinner, right? I have days when I feel too big also ... we have to learn to cope with our body image, that's all.

big

JBo · 07-06-2008, 03:24 PM

I can't give you an honest opinion from that photo. Do you have any pictures with less clothes on? Just kidding, you're a knockout!

Smythe · 07-06-2008, 04:01 PM

are you large chested? I always look bigger cause the girls

KOO · 07-06-2008, 04:08 PM

You look great, and we want to see another picture in 8 lbs. when you meet goal!

Loner · 07-06-2008, 04:13 PM

BMI Categories:

Underweight = <18.5
Normal weight = 18.5-24.9
Overweight = 25-29.9
Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater

You have a BMI of 21.5.....right in the middle of the normal weight range

you should just concentrate on some weight training to firm things up if you think things are not looking just right

jskn · 07-06-2008, 04:39 PM

The next 8 lbs will make a really big difference. The smaller you are, the more every pound off shows. You look great!

Well having actually met you and seen you IRL... I would say that picture is not a good representation of your size. Not that you look BIG or anything. IRL you look like a skinny Minnie maybe it's the way the shirt and capris hit you??

pennylovesdarren · 07-06-2008, 04:50 PM

You look gorgeous! Oh to be 133 lbs!

LowCarbRachel · 07-06-2008, 05:05 PM

I weigh about the same as you but I'm a little shorter

I usually look thinner in tops that skim over my midsection--any clingy materials around my waistband is usually not as flattering for me, personally.

kr4zy61r · 07-06-2008, 05:12 PM

First of all pictures do NO justice except when you put a pic of you when you were heavy. So attach the current pic and a before pic when you first started LC'ing and you'll see what I mean.

I agree with the others... 133 is a number which you are not. You are more valuable then any number a scale says you are! What's important is the way you feel and how your clothes feel on your body!

I think you look fabulous! I agree with Loner... maybe you should thinking about toning up a little? It'll probably make all of the above (including the way the pics look) a lot better.

Oh and congrats! Again you look fabulous and I am sure way better than when you first started. I would love to be 133 lbs but I have a long ways to go!

MarblesLongGone · 07-06-2008, 05:14 PM

You are seeing that straight line of the shirt across the broadest part of your hips. Actually, you'd PROBABLY look thinner with it tucked in, then you wouldn't have the strong horizontal line on your hips, but at your waist.

JennyJ · 07-06-2008, 05:19 PM

We are so hard on ourselves, aren't we?

BTW....I am 5'6-1/2" and 141.5 as of this morning. I would DIE to be 133 but it's just not in my make up. After TWO years doing this, I hit the 130s for maybe 30 seconds.

ENJOY!!!! Seriously. Enjoy!

myyellowstang · 07-06-2008, 05:30 PM

I don't know how many pounds that looks like... but I would kill to look like whatever it is!!!

You look awesome.
