Average Sized Body Acceptance

Cindyinpg

you average size ladies look fantastic! my question is do you still track food and excersize?

I expect to be tracking for life. I doubt I will ever be able to eyeball a portion, especially of ice cream. :bigsmile: And I will exercise as much as I can stand, (if only to eat more ice cream.....)

Why would anybody want to be just " average " sounds like an excuse for the lazy people.

I'm so lazy I run marathons and lift heavy to maintain my awesomeness. Who says average size = mediocre person? I'm an average size 8 - if I were a smaller size I don't think I'd look as good personally, and my fitness would probably suffer. I don't think you get the point of this thread. :ohwell:

Bump for newbies. Don't wait until you've reached your goal weight to enjoy and celebrate your body and all the wonderful achievements you've made! Be proud of yourself every step of the way.

Yes. Still tracking three years after achieving goal. And I will likely track for the rest of my life.

And I run for chocolate!

At 6' tall, I'm definitely above average height, but at 155 and size 8, I'm very average-sized. The best pic I have is my before/after. Started at a size 18, weighing 215 or so.

As inspired by another thread in this forum. People often focus on Larger sized women or Smaller women (all of whom are lovely) but those of us to hover in the middle of these things are often forgotten. We get no acceptance campaigns or lingerie ads or things of that nature. I think it'd be fun to celebrate the average sized woman.

Just keep it cleanish, so the mods don't come along and nuke/clean this up.






5'3", 140 pounds, size 6. Average, and happy with such.

First of all, I don't see anything average about you!!! Gorgeous and confident is what I see.

But, I totally get where you are coming from. 5'4 and wear size 8 jeans here and have felt like I am always in someone elses shadow or the one overlooked.

From cousins to co workers(experiencing that now) they are the ones getting the compliments and attention. Having said that, I too am happy with my size.

Thanks for sharing and for wanting to celebrate the rest of us!

A lot of the ladies in here are well above average, IMO

Getting it going again. I love my "average sized" body :-) I'm not quite where I want to be yet but I'm no longer where I used to be.

Open the image in Paint, hit "resize", change it from 100% to about 20%, then re-upload to imgur.

You can resize on imgur, too. There's an option to edit photos, and then resize. sizes of around 400x400 or so tend to work well for MFP forums.
