179 is a little on the big side but so...
you can still be sexy, if i was you id be worried more about your own comfort later in life cuz my gf and i are both a little heavy and it sucks the energy right out of you and hurts your feet, knees ankles shins HEELS and back.
people acting like your not good enough is going to take place anyway, they'd find a different reason if they had to.
your mom knows you'll be happier if you start limiting your weight right now, i agree with her and for the sake of my kids hapiness i tell them to watch their food and exercise and maintain at least a minimum level of fitness

Well I would recommend looking at a height/weight chart liek this one to compare yourself try this one
http://www.kidshealth.org/teen/food_fitness/dieting/weight_height.html
It's really great and it shows you your BMI (Body Mass Index) and everything.
Now if you're a siz 7 or 8 and you weigh 179 lbs then you must be extremely tall so I would say that your weight is perfectly ok.

It depends on how tall you are. But for real you shouldn't compare yourself to anyone. you need to be happy about what you do have!!! There are starving children that would kill for the weight your complaining about. And all those celebs that you envy so much pay to get that fat sucked out of them. you need to get over your stupid obsession and stop being self absorbed. Maybe you can put all that waisted time and energy in volunteer work for the less fortunate. I feel sorry for you!good luck

eh it all depends on how tall you are. if youre above maybe 5'10"ish, then youre fine... if not then youre still not fat, just exercise alot more.. and no that doesnt mean your fat, that just means that you could lead a healthier lifestyle ;) Fat i would say is anything over 200lbs. just eat less fatty foods and take a jog now and then.

I always go by the rule if I can pinch an inch between my fingers then I could stand to lose some.
Measure how tall you are and go here to see what eweight you should be for your height.
