I am 190 pounds, I stand at 5'7. I have been working out since December and I started out at 200 lbs. I was recently told by the guys with those weight calculating machines that I've lost 10 lbs of pure fat since I started and have gained 15 in muscle. I don't know how that math works out but the guy did this equation that looked way too much like algebra.
I don't weigh myself often because it would drive me insane but I don't feel like I look 190. But then I am very curvy and I always have been. Do I look it? Be honest, you won't hurt my feelings. I wish I had some before photo's but I don't.
And my tush, yes, it is that round. I had to add that in because it could explain the extra pounds. I keep it all in my boobs and tush and hips. I'm a 38 DD.
Great job!!
I am 5'4" and when I weighed 189 I didn't have a waist...I was a blueberry with legs LOL...you have a great hourglass figure:)
Aww thank you! I don't see it either but that's what the scale said. The guy who weighed me looked confused/surprised.
I've gotten to the point where I know I'll never be "thin", I'm just not made that way. I am just hung up on a stupid number.

Wow. I would have never guessed 190. You look great. And your curves work for you! I hope I look something like you when I am at goal.
Great job!!
The heaviest I've ever been was 210, I was 41 weeks pregnant with my son.
In high school I was an even 170. I don't really know what happened. Maybe I just filled out. I know my boobs and butt weren't this filled out in high school.
But thank you. I've always had this shape, at least since puberty. I'm told that my grandmother on my father's side had this exact body type.

I think you look fantastic mama! I would have guessed you weigh 160! I'm with you on that how you feel is way more important than numbers on a scale!
Thank you. And I know right?!?
The BMI says that for my height I *should* be at 159 at the high end. Someone please tell me where that's supposed to come from??? In all the working out I've done I haven't lost any weight in my boobs. I started out at 38 DD and I'm still at 38 DD. My butt has just gotten really firm. It doesn't look any smaller. My legs as well. My calves are rock hard. I have lost a noticable amount in my waist. At least that's what I'm being told. My clothing is fitting better though. I havent' gone down a dress size. But then I've been at a 14/16 for a very long time because of the size of my breasts and how wide my hips are. I always have had to have everything taken in at the waist.

I never would've guessed 190. I mean, I wouldn't worry so much about how much you look like you weigh...how do you FEEL?
I know just how you feel. I'm 5'6 and I currently weigh 160-162...the most I should weigh is about 154...definitely possible but my body is happy where it is...not to mention I just need to be more consistent with eating clean. I do good for a while and then don't! LOL!
I tend to lose inches first...I'm a size 8/10 and 36D...I'm curvy as well, have some extra junk in the trunk that needs to go! LOL!
