The Beefy Babe Contest
I was trying to think of a way to give away a few fun things I had lying around and so was born the Beefy Babe Contest. Pregnancy is one of the few times when I'm emotionally detached from my weight so I'm testing your guessing skills. With two days until I'm due, how much do I weigh? And no, I won't be offended at your guess. Promise.
I took pictures of myself tonight in the outfit I weighed myself in immediately thereafter. My scale is quite accurate and measures in 1/2 pound increments. I'm 5'5 and my calves make up 20% of my body weight. Take your guess:
The winner will be mailed a Peeps charm bracelet, Peeps sidewalk chalk and a Peeps windup toy. In the event of a tie, the winners will both get the windups and a mix of the other two items. I'll accept guesses until 5 p.m. Sunday night (Pacific Daylight time) and announce the winner that evening.
One guess each. I've already weighed myself so nobody bothering mailing me fudge to "tip the scales" in your favor.
How beefy is the babe?

It's a serious business here that involves my whole family and at this point there is just one word which perfectly describes your offer: Delicioso!
I can't believe how high you're carrying! OMG it must be a girl! Just kidding. I hate when people say crap like that.
And yes, the 140 sounds good to me.
average weight for a 5'5" woman of medium build is 127-141. So, I'm guessing you started around 130-135 (maybe less, you were doing that triathlon thing, but muscle is heavy...) Figure 25 to 35 lbs of weight gained with baby (can you tell EVERY WOMAN I KNOW IS CURRENTLY PREGNANT??)and maybe a few extra (since, you know, like anybody does anything average)e I'd say...
Drum roll...
172. And seriously, you look totally cute preggers. Also, I am a fan of peeps.
Now, if I only looked as good as you do right now, and my youngest is 11 months old!
About a year ago, I looked like a pregnant manatee, and was ready to bite the head off anything or one who tried to take my head of lettuce.
Little, tiny, compact thing, you. Sheesh. I'm not even gonna guess.
:)
You look great, unlike some of us who actually morph into a balene whale when the time comes.
Come on baby!
BTW, you do look great. I can't believe you're still able to muster a smile at this point.
And you are freaking gorgeous, you ripe thing you.
Acte - I need an exact weight from you to get your vote. No ranges - commit, woman!
Mama Bear - I'm happy to have some fresh blood on the comment board, thanks for playing! BTW, this is a great chance for all you cyber-lurkers to put up a comment and play too. I know you're out there...
May I first add to Billy C. and the wiz that you look fabulous! You hardly look 39 5/7ths pregnant. I know, it's all relative and I'm sure you feel it. I am going to guess 156.5. My mouth is watering right now for you, peeps!
I guess 159.
(You are going to post your weight post baby so we can see just how much was "baby weight", right?)
My guess is 157. If I don't win, would you send me some Hollywood Flake stuff anyway so that people around here will think that I am cool? ;)j/k Love ya!
Let's see--5'5"-- You probably started at about 115-120, so I'm gonna guess 153.5
155.5lbs (though technically I could set a full sized dinner plate on my belly...)
I think you just might be the cutest pregnant lady ever. Seriously, you do not look like you are days away from your due date--but what do I know. I've never even been pregnant.
but I have a gift a knowing the gender...and this usually works better if I KNOW a person but I got a HUGE HUMONGOUS boy vibe. I have been right 39 out of 46 times... really. So, I won't guess your weight but I will guess the baby... and remember, no stripper names....
And whatever it is, you still look great preggers
I've always wanted to try nefarious experiment with a peeps marshmallow =)
Good luck!
147.5. Since someone already guessed my first guess.
Good luck!
I LOVE all the de-lurkers! See, I don't bite :) I may stink a little bit, but bite, never.
Don't believe her, guys, I'm pretty sure she bit me at least once in the many year's I've known her.
Nothing like an eternally scarred friend to set the record straight.
I've been skinny like you before. I know me some skinny.
And I noticed that I can't post as J-Rod anymore, so I had to sign in on my wife's google account. What gives?
You look wonderful, and not just "great for being pregnant". :)
If I win, you can keep the Peeps (I'm diabetic). Consider it a bribe.
