C-172 Insight

There are short field takeoff tables for different weights in the SP info manual. In the conditions section you will see different speeds.

Just looked in my 172R information manual, and all performance calculations and stall speeds are specifically for 2450 lbs, so I guess the answer is "it depends."
 
if your local FBO has sand bags, i would recommend flying with the equal amount of weigth one before taking actual lives up in the air. I have done that before ad it makes you much more comfortable when you are flying the plane.
