Sweet Machine has issued a challenge and, to illustrate why it is important, I have a challenge for y’all.
Guess how much I weigh.
This is a recent picture and I am fresh from the allergist’s office with a weight from a doctor’s scale (I never mind when they weigh me as the number is needed for the breathing test and medication dosage). I know I’ve alluded to my weight, but let’s see how close you can get. I’ll tell you tomorrow if no one gets it right in the meantime!
And, while you are at it, guess how tall I am.
ETA: I meant to add, earlier, that you are welcome to invite your friends to Guess How Much The Rotund Weighs as well. *grin* And, yes, Kate, there will totally be a chart of the results.

Not sure why the “L” in the pounds abbrev. came out as a one, but that’s 305, not 3051!
Best guess, based on looks of arms & legs & breadth of shoulder…5’6″ – 5′ 8″, 260 – 280 pounds. Can’t get any closer.
I say 5’7 and 310
Well I’m 5’8″ and 215ish pounds. I think you’re about my height, maybe 5’7″? And I’d put your weight at about 16 or 17 stone. According to my calculator that’s 224-238lb.
Did you ever post the ‘answers’ to this?
OVER 9000 POUNDS! And one inch tall. Nah, just kidding, you look to be about my height (5’2) and around 250lbs. I am very bad at guessing weight though, because people can weigh the exact same amount, and look vastly different. I realized this when I was watching “Celebrity Fit Club” and saw I think it was Countess Vaughn (I think that’s her name). She was the same approximate height as me (give or take an inch or so), and my EXACT weight, yet she was way, way bigger than I am, and built totally differently. So it’s not always easy to tell.
Anyways, I think you are adorable, and I LOVE those boots! You have great style, I am a size 3 and I never look even half as presentable and cute as you do, so I’m totally jealous! And I would seriously KILL to have hair like yours…sooo gorgeous!
Hmmm… you look pretty tall to me, just guessing based on what I can see of the toilet. I’d say 5’9, 300 lbs?
I’m not sure of the height, but if you are 5ft2 then I’d guess about 220lb, 250lb for 5ft5 and 280lb for 5ft8.
What I don’t get is why some people are guessing higher weights for the lower heights than they are for the taller heights.
I’m gonna say between 310-320 for about a 5’4 height, I’m about 5’4 and weigh somewhere around 230 and i’m about a size 16 to 18….?
5’8 280
