I'm honest about it but mostly because I'm fairly "dense" so everyone's reaction is always "NO WAY" haha.
I used to. After losing 120 pounds I don't. I'm not my ideal weight but I am a lot more comfortable with my number.
I'm completely honest about everything. My real hair color, my weight, how much I paid for something LOL
it is what it is.
It's not really something that comes up with my friends. I'm overweight and very insecure, and if it came up I would probably lie.
A few weeks ago we were renting ski's for a weekend trip and I lied on the forms they had us fill out. I also lied on my license.
Yes I do! I weigh a LOT more than people usually think, so I prefer to just either dodge the question or give a "range' which is usually a lot less than I actually weigh. I'm wayyyy insecure about my weight, so it's not something I do to 'decieve' or intentionally mislead people, I just don't want the world knowing how heavy I really am!!
Nah, I don't lie, but I think people think I'm skinnier than I really am. My waist is slim, but my legs and butt are fat.
Oh god yes. I don't want to see anyone's face that horrified! Of course there's no lying to doctors etc...
Generally speaking I don't think it's anyone's business but my own what I weigh, so I wouldn't normally answer. (Then again, I don't have any girl friends, so it would be a nosy coworker or someone like that asking...) I'm not ashamed of what I weigh, I just don't feel like that's an appropriate thing to ask someone!
I don't lie about it. People will have a general idea of what you weigh by looking at you, so there's no point to lie about it. I dunno, never really thought about it much.
I can't say that anyone ever really asks me. But I did lie on my driver's license!
Oh god yes. I don't want to see anyone's face that horrified! Of course there's no lying to doctors etc...
I was tempted to lie at my midwife office (they have you weigh yourself!) but I didn't because that would give an inaccurate weight profile. But I also tell people it's none of their effing business if they ask and aren't doctors.
Who is going around asking women what they weigh?! I mean, other than the doctor, the BMV when you're renewing your license, or your BFF, no one should be asking you that. If someone was rude enough to ask, I totally call them out on being a jerk. I'm not ashamed, so I wouldn't lie, but seriously, NOT COOL.
I never lied about my weight, but I definitely didn't tell anyone what I weighed either. Nowadays I am very comfortable with my weight/body.
I used to be jealous of girls who weighed less than me just because their number was lower, it was stupid.
I don't really see the big deal about being truthful. If someone asks, I'll share the correct weight. It's not that big of a deal to me. Like michiganbride said, it is what it is.
Nope, I'm comfortable with my weight and if I wasn't I'd probably just avoid the question.
I talk openly about it with other people who are talking openly about their numbers but I don't go around telling people and no one really asks.
It's funny, FI doesn't know how much I weigh. He told me once that he just assumed that all girls weigh 120. HA! I'm sure he knows it's more than that since he's carried me before, but I've never actually told him the number and he's never asked. If I lose a few pounds and go from one number "decade" to the next (eg. 1-something-0 down to 1-something-9) I may tell him, but he never really knows which numbers I'm referring to specifically.
One of my sisters always asks me what I weigh, and it bothers me! I have always had insecurities with my body, and I have been letting go of them slowly, but surely, and for some reason it's always my one sister that always has to bring it up.
But to answer your question, no I don't lie about my weight, really ever. I can't remember a time that I ever did. I figure people will pretty much know anyways by looking at you, so whats the shame. Its just a number right? ( ha, I wish!)
No... but no one has ever asked me how much i weigh and I definitely don't just go around telling people. I don't even think my husband knows how much I weigh.
I've never lied, but once I got through high school/college, no one around me really seemed to care anymore. When girls were "competing" with me, they would ask. If people are randomly asking your weight, it probably means that they are insecure and concerned about their own. Its sad. I would just tell them that it doesnt matter.
I don't own a scale, so I really only know when I'm at the doctor's office and they weigh me. It fluctuates about 5 pounds or so, but pretty much stays the same.
Who goes around asking people what they weigh?? I dont think I've ever been asked cept by maybe my brother cause we ask each other as a joke. Either way, I wouldnt lie about it, I'm totally comfortable with my weight.
I said yes because I usually round it up to the nearest stone when moaning about it so add about 4 pounds to my actual weight lol
If someone asks, I'm not likely to answer. I've struggled with my weight all my life and have been both overweight and underweight at different times, and I firmly believe that it's no one's business but my own (and, when necessary, my doctor's).
I tend to avoid it. Even FI only knows a "range." Lol. My drivers license weight hasn't been changed since 16/17 so that is just...ha!
I am not proud of my weight but after two kids and recently losing some weight I am not ashamed to admit how much I weigh.
I lied on my drivers license... but, if asked, I usually give an honest answer. If I don't want to answer - I just don't answer!
My aunt thought I was 120 when I weighed 145. I carry weight fairly well because it goes proportionately around my body (I gain in the boobs and butt, lucky me!)
I'm super chubby right now, at a number I thought I'd never touch unless pregnant. I haven't stepped on a scale since, but I judge by the way my clothes fit and how tired I get if I run a mile. But I'll get there soon. So far, I mouse away the answer and just tell people that I'm the heaviest I've ever been, but that'll change.
no one but the bee and my dr actually knows how much I weigh! Seriously....
Lets be real, if you weighed over 220lbs would you tell anyone how much you weigh?
Before I lost weight, I lied. As for who goes around asking about weight, I work at a small airport and I have to ask every passenger their weight so we can properly balance the plane. It's awkward. :)
@AmeliaBedelia: Woah, WHAT? Why do drivers licenses specify what you weigh? Haha madness - the things you learn on the Bee!
I don't lie about it but my weight also isn't something that really ever comes up.
@bestbuddies: I'm 215 now and I wouldn't mind telling people. I don't think I look like 215 so what does the number matter?
WHen I'm at the heavier end of my weight, I admit I usually shave off 2 pounds when telling people how much I weigh.
I try to avoid the topic. I feel like discussing weight with other people, unless you're both going to diet or workout together, just ends up making someone feel bad.
No, but I don't talk about it either. Weight hardly matters compared to diet & fitness, and I'd rather talk about those anyway.
I never really discussed it with anyone before. But then when I was losing weight on Weight Watchers (in an effort to battle PCOS and get preggers!), I was completely honest with those who were curious about my success or about the program. For the record, when I started, I was about 12 lbs over my normal, healthy weight range.
Now that I am pregnant, I am totally honest about my weight because I find it a little bit funny. When else can you laugh about gaining 7 lbs in a month? :)
When I told people I weighed 196 before starting WW, they were shocked. That leads me to believe that I'm someone who 'carries the weight well', or whatever. I currently weigh 175 but I wouldn't hesitate to tell someone or wear a bikini on the beach. I'm proud of how I look, and if people want to say something about my weight, they'll say it anyway. So they might as well know the truth.

This is kind of a spin off from the thread about lying about your ring size.
I have never lied about my weight (well since I have been adult I'm sure I did as a teen) and I'm over weight. I have declined to answer in moments of insecurity.
However, I know lots of woman in my friends circle do lie.
Are you honest about it?
