I found this cool website.

www.mybodygallery.com

You enter your height, weight, pant and shirt size and it brings up pictures of other woman the same size. So you're not as big as you think you are. I plan on submitting my picture!

    Heh.

    I'm an hourglass, so I put that and not a single one of the women's photos that came up was actually an hourglass.

    Yeah, me too...the pics they showed me are hopefully NOT what I look like. I carry more weight than most...I'm just dense, I guess...but those girls were bigger than I am.

    Haha I noticed that too. I didn't choose an option for that since some woman don't know what they are.

    They weren't big. It's nothing to do with size. But when your waist (no matter you weight) is the same width or only very slightly smaller than your hips, you are NOT an hourglass.

    I guess these women thought hourglass meant "big boobs" because that was the only thing about their bodies that would qualify.

    Very neat, thanks for sharing. Some of the pictures are so different! The first one, I can only dream of looking like and another I hope I don't look like. LOL. It is interesting to see how different people carry weight differently. That's why everyone's goal weight should be specific to them and not their height!

    Also ladies you should think about submitting your picture! I think the site is still fairly new. When I looked at my size, I really didn't see a woman who looked exactly like me cause of the way I carry my weight, and cause of my baby belly haha, so I'm going to do it so hopefully maybe another woman will have the same shape as me and feel encouraged she looks good lol

    I'm totally envious of your waist. Im thick waisted and I only have a tiny curve, but it was been getting more noticeable now that I'm working out. I use to be a blob, and now I actually have a shape.

    The smaller and more toned you get, the more of a shape you'll have. But I've heard SO MANY women say their goal for losing weight and exercising is to have an hourglass shape, and you just can't exercise and diet your way into that. A corset will do it if you don't have it naturally. :-)

    I do love my shape. I just wish it was a little smaller!

    This is interesting- I just typed in my height (6'1") and there werent many. It was rather worrying that someone had posted several pictures of themselves at 6'1 and 105lbs!!!!! A BMI of 13 is not good!!

    There were more 6 feet ladies though- and they all look about 50lbs lighter than they are!!! Ther are some seriously good bodies at 190lbs and 6 feet.

    I think people do take too much notice of BMI- some of these women are really slim and flat stomached at 190 (which, incidentally is around my goal weight).

    I tried all sorts of combinations of things for my height/weight & not a single thing came up... Only worked if I put my weight & an inch taller. Then of course, the woman was pear shaped (or so she said - pic was only from waist up!) & I'm definitely hour-glass. (big up top & bottom with much smaller waist) :-(

    Even when I weighed 130 I didn't have that shape. I'm not really sure what shape I am lol. I guess apple since I'm carrying my extra weight in my stomach? But when I was thin I didn't think I looked like an apple. If I was on my computer i would post a picture so u could tell me lol I just think I look like a board. Is that what banana means? When I was smaller I just looked good haha. I was proportionate :)

    I have thought about doing corset training. But they are expensive
