I posted this previously, but I don't know if enough people saw how cool it was! :)

Hey ladies (and gents), I came across this website the other day and thought some of you might like it. A bunch of women submit their pictures along with their height, weight, and size, so you can search by those things and see what people with your same measurements look like. I always have had an issue with picking on myself and thinking I look way bigger than other people that are my height and weight. This site has helped me see that I'm not as big as what I see in the mirror, and that we're all just our own biggest critics.

    Thank-you so much for posting that! It was great to see what people my height and my wieght look like. The mirror can lie! And even when I see pictures of myself I can be so critical! It's great to see a variety of people my height and weight. I think I have a better understand of what I look like now. Thanks again :)

    what was weird is the people who say they are my height and weight are wearing clothing sizes alot smaller than my own...I don't get it. I found a woman claiming to be 284 that looks like my body shape and wears the same size....what's up with that?

    I wear three different sizes depending on the brand. It might have been better if the site gave measurements instead of sizes. I don't pay much attention to the size on that website as much as what I see based on weight. Also, women can measure bigger or smaller and weigh the same based on how much fat vs. muscle they have.
