    I am 5' 2" and in both of these I am between 160-165 lbs and both are a UK 14, so I guess that's a US 10. Pretty average I think but yet the dress I'm wearing in my profile photo is an X-large and I'm 10 lbs less than I was in the above photos.

    I heard there was a dress here?
  • Ugh can't get pic to size properly

    Not a bikini shot I'm afraid. I might live by the sea, but this is England! Size 12 (US 8), 5'6. Currently pregnant, so not looking quite so slim now lol.

    I love your dress!

    I am so glad I opened this thread. I've been down lately, telling myself I'm still too big, too wide hipped, and so on. Imagine my surprise to open a thread for average women, and see women who are my size! Thanks ladies for having the confidence to post, I still do not have that yet.

    It's from a shop called Jane Norman.

    I have wide hips, but I like the hourglass figure. I'll always have it, may as well enjoy it! When this pic was taken I'd have liked to have lost a few more pounds.
  • Idk if I'm average, i guess it depends on what population sample I'm pooled with, I'm at least five standard deviations from the mean value tho. Sometimes it's tough but at least we know we control the state of our body to a much bigger extent than the general population wants us to believe. It really boils down to confidence. Self acceptance can come in the form of settling for what we have, or accepting our ability to change it and recognizing our will to act or not act.

    The ups and downs up bulking and cutting, the feeling when the pump fades, lifting without a carb meal, trying to gulp down those last few bites of grilled chicken, seeing the squat rack occupied by someone curling when you are on leg day. Some days it just feels like you just took one scoop of pre-workout, other days it's like you took three scoops of pre-ban Jac3d. You just have to keep lifting.

    We're all gonna make it.

    THIS IS A GREAT IDEA FOR A THREAD! :)

    Size 6, 5'7" about 150 lbs. Average through and through.

    Sorry for the crap quality pictures, especially since the angle on the left one is terrible. I don't have anyone else to take full body pics so I gotta use the mirror.

    Thanks! Bulking is fun. Not only do you get to eat more, but you can feel yourself getting stronger and fitter. I love increasing weight in the weight room.

    Lol, what I have is big boobs, I'm pretty much straight after that so I'd love to take half of them and add it to my hips.

    Anyone ever approach you or do they all stare from afar? I'd probably come up to you and ask hahaha.
