I've searched long and hard for this tool... it was really hard for me to determine my weight loss goal and this has really helped me!

    It's kinda neat but I'm curious how that woman manages to shrink her ribcage to look thinner as she loses weight too :p

    I don't know, I looked at 120 lbs for 5'5" and I'm quite sure someone that weight for that size would look much thinner.

    That's pretty cool. Big difference in the look between "regular" vs "muscular".

    Cool. But it needs a "lost a load of weight recently" setting as well, to simulate the excess skin, moobs etc. :(

    If I looked like the 190 lb guy on there, I'd be happy already...

    I would say it works well for average sized people. I put in my height of 6'0" and there was no change really for the 10lb drop I wanted to see, so I started messing with it. It let me drop the goal weight all the way down to 100-120 and the model didn't look even all that thin when someone at that weight would actually look sickly. I then changed the height to 5'4" and the after model looked pretty much the same at 120 as it did for the 6'0" model.

    i agree.. for the women they have like small & large chest size... they need a extra large! but overall i think what i am closelt compared to the model i was given

    the model of my current weight has a double chin.... I don't have that :(

    for some reason I also selected "pear" and she still carried most of her weight on her top half. it's a neat site but I much prefer mybodygallery.com.

    thanks for this, I tried the link out of interest, I've only got 7lbs to lose and the interesting thing was 7lbs would make no visible difference to my overall shape! It makes me wonder why I care so much about these last 7lbs lol - but the fact is I do, I know it'll make my waist/tummy area smaller which is what I'm wanting :) so I'll keep plodding on and one day I'll get there (right now its a veryyy slow process!)

    Great post :)

    I like this site even more:
    http://www.mybodygallery.com/

    Real people submit their photo, height, weight and size!

    **That model wasn't really like me at all at my current weight!

    I usually just read the labels on the sides of the dumbbells to know how much they weigh :)

    This isn't realistic at all. :indifferent:

    I don't look as thin as the 137 lbs model there. At all.

    In fact, if I did I wouldn't be trying to lose the last 17 lbs...

    In other words, this isn't accurate/realistic for me. At all.

    I don't get the point of the "visual adjust" button....

    I think things like this are also fun to look at and may provide more useful ideas of how different bodies can look at different heights and weights....

    Wow this is encouraging, except I am +60 years old and there is gonna be a lot of stretched out skin in the end. But it still looks good. :happy:

    Not only does it give me the option to have a computer rendering of myself after some gym time and dropping another 90 pounds, the advanced settings gives me the option of growing dreads and a goatee.

    Nice.
