    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.
  • Cool but nothing in my size! I tried looking for my beginning weight too

    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.

    ok, but this was sad...the site didn't have anyone that was 5'5", 190lbs, wearing a size 14 pants and Large top, and have an hourglass shape!!! That's ok! i know i exist and most of my family is the same way! We just thick with it and with this site the inches are melting away, baby!!!!

    Nice idea, gonna add to it as well. Was surprised at the range of sizes at my weight :noway: I guess it just goes to show the role that frame size and lean mass play, some women at 110 or less look fat to me, some of the ones heavier than me look thin.

    One plea for those posting - most of the pics i saw were taken in baggy clothes. Why? We want to see the body! Less is more.

    That sounds very similar to me!

    The only thing is with this site, you will get more selections if you just select your height a weight. Pants and top size along with body shape will only give you fewer results.

    Thats a great site, there were no photos like me so I added my own up there, I might use it to keep photoes of my weight loss on there. Looking at the pictures of girls my height and at my goal weight was a real motivtor!
