We are on a very tight budget. No leeway to buy scales lol.
Besides, I know my weight is too high and I am working on losing it, I don't need a scale to tell me how much more I need to lose, I can find that out when I look and feel healthier/lighter/better. Scales always make me sad, even when I lost weight and looked my best I was about 190lb because of my bone density and muscle mass.
I'm adding a pic from back when I was smaller, tell me if I look 190 :/

Katana,
I'm a biased type, and this might be TMI, but...
My ex-GF, the one I wanted to marry? Similar body type to you. Somewhere between garden gnome and dwarf, in her case; I haven't found your stats, so please don't read into it too much.

She was always heavy, is my point, and she still looked (a) good, and (b) great to me. It was what was inside that made her beautiful... The outside was just gravy. :-)

Don't worry about "weight," just like you're doing. Cut the fat to a good level, and it's all good. :-)
Keep going!

I decided to stop caring about specific weight when I was about 18 because I looked healthy and felt healthy but weighed a lot more than I looked.
I told people I still needed to lose just over 2 stone (30lbs) and they looked at me and said I'd be skin and bone if I did that even though I'd still technically be overweight.
I have a ridiculous amount of muscle in my legs and also have a broad frame so I will weigh more than other people the same height as me. I'm not bothered by that now.
