Q: Time Machine and MBP total data size mismatch. Is time machine backing everything up or not?

Hi Folks - My Time Machine drive indicates it's backed up 120GB of data yet my MBP has 230GB of data stored on it. Is there a back up problem with this near 100GB mismatch? I'm new to time machine and this is my first back-up. I have a MBP 2013 running OSX vers 10.8.5, 2.4GHZ Intel Core i7, 8GB RAM and a 250GB hard drive. I verified my disk and it appears to be running fine. I had a cursory glance in my back up and nothing obvious appears to be missing and I did not exclude anything from being backed up but this data mismatch is concerning and would welcome your comments please. Thanks.
