    They didn't have anybody on there like me. I then selected my weight with larger clothing sizes and they looked a WHOLE LOT larger than I do.

    What is the banana shape? I've never heard of that.

    It's amazing though how different shapes everyone is. For my stats, 5'5 and 140 pounds, there are some on there who wear a size 6 and some wear a size 10. That's a big difference.

    Wow. The women at my current weight mostly look fine. And there's me feeling like a whale. Now going to look at women who are my height and my GOAL weight to see how awesome I'll look when I'm done!

    Yeah I guess body shape really plays into that..

    I would guess banana is another word for a straight body type. No real curves bust, waist and hips are close in size.

    Thanks for the post. I found that really interesting. I'm 6'1", so I just searched by height and I looked at several heights around mine...not a lot of pics of women as tall as me. It's really interesting though to see what other women around my height weigh, their clothing sizes and to see how they look. I think maybe I need to take a pic of myself to include there, maybe then I could see myself objectively, it's really hard to see myself objectively when I look at myself in the mirror without any clothes on. Maybe if I saw my picture in a group like this I could see how much I've changed over these last 40 lbs!!!

    I'm 5'2 130 and I couldn't find any my shape on the other, but the one you posted I could. Great idea, neat to see!

    Sheww... I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who couldn't find any pictures to represent themselves. I was starting to sulk a little.

    Funny thing is, after looking at those photos and seeing how great they look, I still don't think that about me. :sad: Just goes to show how screwed up our own self images really are, cause these ladies were same height and clothes size as me, but I liked their bodies better that mine. :huh: Maybe it has to do with the fact that when I exercise, my chest shrinks faster than anything else and it is rather upsetting...

    Indeed, my body isn't as slender looking lol. Hmmm...guess I just need to lose more weight haha.

    both sites were very cool. I think exercise does make a difference. Even when I look at me and my daughter. We are only 5-6 pounds apart (me heavier) and yet, I am two sizes bigger than her!

    Our perceptions are skewed but I have to say, looking at some of the girls who are less than me makes me reconsider my goal weight. I think I want to lose another 10!

    For those who couldn't find one of themselves, broaden your search. At first I put in every detail, height, weight, sizes, and body shape and came up with nothing. Then I deleted body shape and found one. Then I deleted clothing sizes and found 3. Then I played around with height and weight giving and taking an inch and 10 pounds either way and was able to see about 10 that are about where I am at.

    hahah noooo ! I kinda feel the same way. I saw pics of girls who were 115 lbs and it makes me want to rethink my goal. They are at the bottom of healthy (BMI-wise) but they don't look super skinny.

    I think most mpf'ers might look smaller than people in their height and weight range because most people on here workout regularly and weight train. Definately makes a biggg difference.
