What real women look like.

i like that site, and the idea behind it. But i'm apparently the ONLY woman who's my size. Awesome.

I did find my goal though! Yahoo!! She and I are the same height/weight, but she's a size 6 pants, i'm a 12/14, and she wears a small shirt, i wear medium. Have to work on that...

I don't know if I should feel good or bad about what I've seen on there. I just clicked 150 lbs (I'm 145) and all of those women were thinner than I am. :grumble:

A lot of the girls there at my height and around my weight look better than me Damn my belly fat Haha

I'm not too sure about it. In my filter some women were NEVER 68 kg and 5'2" and had toned abs, some were way heavier and about American size 14 at least. Funny though x

That's a cool site. My search results got a mix of women who were very overweight looking and others who weren't. Some people are out of shape and others are mostly in shape but weigh the same, which is something to keep in mind. I've lost weight and look slimmer, but I still weigh the same because I replaced some of the fat with muscle. Oh, and no one ever guesses my real weight, they all put me at being 20lbs lighter than what I am.

I am going to keep referencing that site. It's a really good motivator!

Wow, thanks for sharing! I definitely struggle with thinking I look bigger than I am. But when I see all these women that are my size and think THEY are little, I really don't have much choice, then to believe I am too! It is also amazing how differently we all carry our weight, even if we are technically the same size!

That white bikini makes me look really pale.

:S

Not gonna lie, that site just totally made me feel like I'm delusional--but not in the "I look so much better than I think I do way" more like in the "Oh God, THAT'S what I really look like??" way. Bummer.

nooo don't think like that. i went to that site a while back and so many of the women looked larger or even smaller than i look. everyone carries their weight sooo differently. some people have more muscle mass. don't let it make you feel less great about yourselves!

I agree!! It is the media that is delusional!! All the airbrushing and photoshopped images that we are bombarded with on a daily basis!!! This shows us that we are REAL people! I love it!

This site actually made me realize that my goal of 125 is TOO thin! No wonder I am not loosing any more weight!

Thank you!~

I definitely don't compare myself to airbrushed models whatsoever. Not worried about all that. I know I'm a real person, but I really didn't think I looked like the other women with my same stats...made me a bit more self conscious than I already am!

Same here, so i just did height and weight, no sizes. Then i got a lot of pics. Maybe try that. I found a great pic as motivation!

Yikes, i'm sorry. That wasn't my intention when posting this.

Honestly, it's like a lot of the other peopl here have said - everyone does carry their weight differently. Also - the way a person dresses makes a big difference on how they look.

I usually dress to hide my weight and people have NO IDEA i have 25-30 lbs to lose to get to a healthy weight. Some others i've seen wear stuff to tight and that usually doesn't help.

I think as with everything - we all need to take things with a grain of salt.

This was just a little idea.. definitely no two are alike unless you are real twins.

Thanks for sharing!!! It's interesting to see how my body could morph as time goes by and the inches/pounds fall off!
