154lb Female

Just saw this on Pinterest and found it interesting.

"We're all 11 stone (154lbs) That's the average weight of a British woman, but as these five show it comes in many shapes - www.dailymail.co...."

    Check out www.mybodygallery.com... it is the same concept! You put in your weight, height, pants size or whatever and it shows you what real women with those stats look like. There is such a range; it is so cool!

    Exactly! I love this photo. That's why I wish they would include people's height on weight loss shows when they say how much they weigh. I'm 5'8" and I'd love to be 154lbs but I'd never want to weight 120 lbs, I'd be too skinny. But I bet a girl that's 5'1 would love 120.

    Interesting.

    I'm 5'4" and was in a size 12 when I was 154lbs. I'm 145-150lbs now and I'm wearing a size 8 or 10 (I can wear ALL size 10's, but 8's are sometimes cut too narrow in my hips). I was a size 18 when I was around 180lbs.

    It is all about how and where one carries their weight and their frame size.

    (BTW, I see a lot of women who are my height and they want to weigh 120lbs. I would look gaunt and sickly at 120lbs.. my new goal weight is 135lbs and I'm questioning whether THAT will look too thin on my frame).

    This may sound kind of rude, but none of these women look particularly muscular, which would have been nice to see thrown in there.

    ... and we all know muscle weighs more than fat *ducks*
