Probably is right.
How big the file size on the computer is will vary quite a lot. Your avatar image is tiny and is 3kb file size. A full size jpeg from your camera with lots of fine detail like grass and leaves on trees all over the picture could be 10Mb.
A big picture of a plain background will compress a lot when saved as a jpeg so the file size will be smaller than a detailed scene.
When you resize you pictures in an editing program and save them as a new file for sharing on the forum at say 800 pixels wide - thats when you will have file sizes in roughly the 100 - 200kb range.
So nothing to fix I'd say.
