I found this website today and it is pretty interesting: http://www.mybodygallery.com/

It's a database of photographs that you can search by height, weight. body shape, and more to see what people look like with those characteristics. It's crowd-sourced and pretty neat to see.

(not sure if this is the right place for this post)

    I agree, because I look at the pictures of women similar to me and think "Hey, they're beautiful! I'm just too hard on myself!"

    Thank you for this thread! I will keep coming back to it as a source of inspiration and perspiration. (I already looked at the women who were in the weight and height group of where I WANT and PLAN to be once I reach my target goal)

    There's another one here, a "point and click" versus entering a height and weight: http://www.cockeyed.com/photos/bodies/heightweight.html

    I noticed that too. All the people with my stats looked decent in a bikini and had pretty flat tummies. Mine is definitely NOT near flat and I DON'T look good in a bikini!

    Interesting. Makes me think I'm a banana and not an apple like I thought before.

    This is Interesitng. I actually think I look slimmer than some with my stats. Just shows how people carry it different.

    I hate that term. I only ever see overweight or obese women using it. And often saying things like real women have meat blabla. A real woman has a vagina :) regardless of weight

    It's so weird seeing all of the variety on that site. Some women my height and weight are really lean with visible abs. They look way smaller than I do, no wobbly bits, hourglass genetics with a completely different fat distribution. They look amazing! Some of the others have strangely shaped torsos or look rounder. A couple resemble me, but I'm kind of blind to my weight loss so I can't be sure.

    That site really gives me some perspective on just how different we are, and how genetics / training / diet can impact what we see in the mirror.

    Thanks for sharing!! You can also check out http://www.modelmydiet.com/... It doesn't provide pictures, but uses a simulator instead. Either way, it's good to have an idea of what's to come!! :)
