    All of the ladies here are above average. Great work and effort. You are all beautiful.

    There seems to be this whole idea that size 8-10 or so is "average" for women, but there doesn't seem to be an average for men. Is that because clothes aren't really sized that way for men, or that men are just better at accepting the idea that there isn't really an "average" body type?

    I so agree with this that 'average' sizes just don't work. I'm 6' which means if I was a UK 8 (US 4) I'm pretty sure with my build I would look ridiculous. Admittedly, I thought that at a UK 16 I couldn't get that much smaller because of my build but I was just excusing my weak will! But it's hard to compare like for like when every body shape, build and metabolism is so different!

    If all these are average, sign me up. I am a NZ size 14 that's a 10 in the US I think, My body looks nothing like these posts, my stomach holds a lot of weight. So no pic from me sorry ladies. But I love the idea. Some of you ladies who think you are average, are actually skinny, just want you to know just in case you don't xxx

    I'm a UK 14 on the bottom too and 12 on top. My weight is on my hips and bum but comes off my ribs much faster. Just gotta go with your body sometimes, show off the good bits and hide the rest ;)

    The looks I get in the gym are priceless.
    Hahaha. Imagine if it was pink or baby blue :P

    My next one will be "Lifts like a girl" with a girl doing an impressive squat.
    Anyone ever approach you or do they all stare from afar? I'd probably come up to you and ask hahaha.

    All stares from afar. The only time I get approached is when people are curious about my vibram-esque shoes or to ask me if I am really deadlifting what I have loaded.

    average sized and ok with it...for now. 5'5" 155...U.S. size 8 (and it always amazes me the difference in weight/height and sizes that women wear...it's crazy).

    My goal is to be "average" like you! I too am 5'3" but still hovering at 153 lbs; want to get back to that 140. It is the best weight for me. Thanks for inspiring me!

    yep, if you were a female, you'd be about a US size 10 or so.

    But stick with guys clothes. Much better look for you. :drinker: :happy:
