Wondering about 'normal' size for your height?

Wondering about 'normal' size for your height? (not that there really is a 'normal' we are all so unique!) These sites may be useful.
I found this info on another site but thought it would be good to share. You may have to copy and paste the links but I've checked them out and they're good.
The first one has a user filled gallery of many women at different heights/weights/body shapes. It's really useful for seeing what a woman typically looks like at a certain height/weight:

This second one has a chart with photos of people representing each height/weight. Click on the photo to check the actual stats of the person (the chart goes by 10 lbs increments of weight, but some people in the photos fall in between). Again, it's meant to give a general idea, and some combos only have a male or female example

This last one one goes by BMI:

Oh...and just to add...the BMI one isn't the greatest...more depressing than anything b/c it flags people... so and so is 'obese' yadda yadda and you look at the photos and go 'huh???'
the best one is this one though, good for your daily smile!:
