I have a question for everyone

Did you lie about your weight? If you did, when did you do it. I lied about my weight on applications and things like that. I don't know why, but I just couldn't put down my actual weight. I always said I weighed about 180. Being just about at that weight once again, I don't know how I thought anyone would believe me. Strange, I find that I now proudly announce my weight to people. Of course, I add in that I have just lost ..... lbs. grinning the entire time. My driver's license finally has near the correct weight, but that picture does not look like the me I am right now!!!! Aime

Its not so much that I lied about my weight, but just never said it out loud. My husband never knew how much I weighed because I never told him, he never asked. Now, I am only 15lbs heavier than him, so of course, I mention it all the time

LOL I didn't have to lie. At 427lbs what could I say?? I mean "yes I am only 250lb, what you don't believe me?" roflmaoo I guess I never had to lie about what I weighed but in all reality I haven't had anyone to lie to about it in almost 7 years so I am not sure if I would have had to lie.. make sense? I have to go get my drivers license renewed in the next couple weeks and I can say that I am going to make the woman pick a weight for me if she asks cuz I KNOW I will be down to almost what I weigh on it by Christmas so I am hoping she just doesn't have the balls to change it lmaooo But if she asks me I am not going to give her a number *evil grin*. *huggles* Felicia =0)

lol

I did...I have to admit. I lied to everyone about it. My DH didn't know what I weighed until I started loosing. Thanks for reminding me about my driver's license..I will have to check that. Have a great week!! Hugs,

There have been times I wish I could have lied about my weight but didn't. I am running into one problem now though. When people ask me how much I have lost they then ask what I weighed before and act like they don't believe I ever weight 264 lbs!!!???? I know I am kinda tall and carry weight different but come on people...I know what I weighed before surgery. And a few don't even believe me when I say I weigh 201 now...they say "Oh, you don't weigh that much do you???" I feel like saying...just let me drop my weight in peace people and don't worry about what I weighed before or after. It is my business...right??? Lisa S.

Yup. Like you, I did the 180 thing!!! And, it's on all my id's.....lol Now that I'm back to that weight, I can't believe people didn't challenge me when I was 250 and saying 180.... Then again, I'm really glad they didn't... Susan

I don't think I ever had to lie about my weight. If I did, it was only by like 10-20 lbs. Not very many people asked me about my weight and probably on my license I undercut it by 20 lbs. DH didn't know how much I weighed. He never really asked. When we started going through our testing for WLS, he did ask me and I told him. I didn't ask him his weight until I was setting up his Fitday account on the computer. Now I announce my weight to everyone. I don't care now to tell people that I am 204 lbs. I won't be that much for very much longer.

I was one who just kept her mouth SHUT. When asked for important reasons (ie medical tests etc) I would say "300" it was close enough. But I told no one else how bad it had gotten. No one knew I quickly blew past 300 and kept going. When telling my mom how much I have lost since the start of the journey (94lbs), she just looked at me with wonder and asked where I started. When I told her 328, her eyes brimmed with tears and she said she had no idea. I explained to her that no one did, that I was too embarrased to share and yet managed to hide it the best I could under baggy clothes. I can imagine what she, and my fiance, and the rest of my family must feel now, knowing how far I allowed my body to go before deciding I was ready to fight back, and knowing that I went through it alone.

I never lied, but I never told either. My husband had no idea what my starting weight was (280****il my two week post op appt. He was floored! Said he never would have guessed that I was that heavy!
