I suck at guessing things like age and weight, but I’d try if there were some sort of prize involved for the winner.

Y’know, like “Guess how many jelly beans are in the jar and you win the candy…” 😃

Alright, callin it in. And the winner is… (even though you don’t really win anything…)

**OpalCat**!!

I tend to wobble 240-250, it seems (I haven’t weighed myself in quite a while, now, but that’s what I was when all those pics were taken). **Brynda** was pretty close on the dress size. I’m generally a 22, but I have a couple pairs of 24 pants cuz that little extra’s really comfy.

I’m not sure what to make of some of these guesses. 148? 200? I’m starting to wonder if I really look that skinny, or if people’s minds are so media-warped that they think I’m what a 148-lb person looks like? And as for **Eidolon** , you seem to way off the norm, as the most common guess range was 25-50 lbs under actual weight. Hmm… this will take some thinking! Thanks for participating in my little vanity research project, guys!

Wow, I’m a little stunned at the 148 lb guess, too. Generally, I’m heavier than what people guess because I’m muscular. I used to run track and, when I’m not preggers, I long-distance run.

I’m a size ten and I _wish_ I weighed 148 lb.

Antares, you’re a brave gal to reveal your weight. Me? Only my doctor and I will know. I’ll tell my hubby if he asks, but I’m not going to announce it weekly or anything.

Non-media warped guy checking in here: I saw the pictures of you and think you look fantastic just the way you are. 🙂

I don’t mean to sound creepy or anything- Its just I thought you looked very pretty in the photos.

I would not have guessed 250. I am having a hard time believing 250, actually, but … no reason not to believe:)

And just in case you hadn’t heard it enough in the other thread, you are delicious. Not quite my **fizzy** , but then that is a mark attainable only by one;)
