Measure the circumference and use this. It is close enough to give you a good idea of what it weighs.
20"-- 3# 21"-- 3.5# 22"-- 4# 23"-- 4.5# 24"-- 5# 25"-- 5.5# 26"-- 6# 27"-- 6.5# 28"-- 7#

Yardman,
Take a measuring tape and measure the circumference of the tomato.
Post the measurement here and I'll look it up for you.

If you want more than a ball-park estimate, you can apply the formulas listed at:
