Has anyone seen this site before? It's a "visual" height/weight chart, using photos of real people. I love it!

http://www.cockeyed.com/photos/bodies/heightweight.html

It has a lot of examples of people at a certain height and weight, so you can see what your goal weight looks like on a person of your height!

Obviously this varies based on body type and level of athleticism, but a lot of the height/weight combos have multiple pictures if you click. Just wanted to share with anyone who may not have seen this before! :bigsmile:

    I knew that was the case, but wow-- the girl at 4'11", 130 looks WAY better than I do at 4'11", 135. All that did was depress me & curse my fat belly lol

    awwww but you know that everyone carries their weight differently... and the amount of muscle someone has is a big factor on how a person will look at a given weight.

    I feel like I look much heavier than the girls at my weight because I am so flabby... there is not an ounce of athleticism in me, no matter how hard I try to like exercise! The only physical activity I like is dance, and I can't afford dance class at the moment... but someday, I'll get back into it, once my husband is no longer unemployed!! in the meantime, I will just curse out my Jillian Michael's DVD... haha :wink:
  • I wasnt trying to be negitive just stating that everyones body is different, <3

    Um, lovely pic Kiwiburger!
    its a fun link but the people in the photos aren't too glam, its still hard to tell if they are just in the picture by themselves.

    Thing is, I'm 5lbs heavier then that man. So essentially, he is fitter.

    Yes - the picture of people at my weight do look better (and fitter) than I do.

    However it is a good incentive for me to work on my level of fitness as well as the weight loss... unless I can work out how to grow another few inches!!!

    Just bumping for later, can't see the site at work. Looking forward to seeing what others at my height and weight look like. It's always so hard to see yourself as other see you; maybe this will help put it in a better perspective.
