Question When telling someone your weight, do you take off a few pounds?

Or are you truthful. Well actually I don't tell anyone my weight but if I did, I think I would be truthful. How do you do it?

I don't mind telling anymore! I have lost 67 lbs. since having gastric bypass surgery on June 25th. I now weigh 164. This is the lowest weight I've been in the last 17 years.

I usually guess at this. I have no idea what I actually weigh as I very rarely get on a scale!

I'm truthful when I state it, but it isn't information I'd give most people and I will avoid the question most times.

Wow Rhonda, you must be smiling all the time!
I will always subtract a few pounds when telling my weight.

I never tell anyone my weight, because I won't weigh myself, and I don't want to embarrass myself.

I hate to say this but I'd take a few off. I've got more than a few to loose, If not maybe then I wouldn't be embarrassed to say my weight.

The only time I tell my weight is to the nurse at the doctor's office. Afterall, they weigh you. SO YOU CAN"T LIE AND GET BY WITH IT!

I tell, but it's not a question that usually comes up in conversation!

I can't get away with lying either, b/c my other O-L weight loss group has a web page linked to our 'mother board's' main page that shows everyone's weight... but as for IRL, well... it's don't ask, don't tell. If someone asks, I tell them b/c I'm proud to be losing the weight, but if they don't, I'm not gonna offer! Dh knows b/c we're losing weight together, and our weigh-in's are posted on the fridge...

I don't tell my weight unless I really have too. I figure, lieing gets you nowhere, I will tell if you ask, but usually that question doesn't come up that often. Thank God.
