I'm sure we would all agree that how we view ourselves and how we view others are seen through two completely different sets of eyes....or at least SOME of us do :wink:

Here's a really cool chart that a friend sent me a while ago of what different weights "look" like. People have submitted their pictures of their height and weight (and there were likely some people that fibbed, but nonetheless it's a starting point for comparison).

To me, having a visualization of something I'm trying to acheive will help me reach it quicker. That's why I find before and after pictures SO MOTIVATING!!! Does anyone know if there is a recent thread with before and after pics?

Anyway, here is the link for the chart...just thought I'd pass it along....I found it interesting. :smile:

    Yeah I think some people were lying a little bit. Then again everyone carries their weight differently. I certainly cannot see changes from what I was to what I am now. But I can in others.
    Thanks:flowerforyou:

    Almost everyone who is 5'3 are big fat liers. That is NOT what 105lbs looks like on anybody. :laugh:

    Very neat though! I wish some scientific organization would do this for real. Weigh everyone and put them in a bathing suit. THEN we could really tell. :devil:

    Yeah, that's why I said I think some of them "fibbed" :wink:

    But some look pretty accurate....at least it's a starting point for comparison.

    I totally agree that a more accurate and scientific approach should be taken.

    I'm so glad someone posted this on MFP - I had found the link ages ago and then lost the bookmark! It's a great visual for knowing what your goal looks like. :)
