Height/Weight PIPs, very interesting.
I saw this on another board and am amazed. It's real women showing PIPs and telling their height/weight so you can get an idea of how women carry their weight SO differently.
I would LOVE to do this here, but I don't know how comfortable people are with sharing. It blows my mind that some people (myself included) allow the scale to make us feel a certain way.

Wow. I've never seen that. It proves the point though, that our standards are just ridiculous.
I just searched all my photos and don't have any good, full body pics with fitted clothes!!! I'm going to post anyway with the best I've got.
This is very interesting! There are pics of girls who are my height but weigh significantly more and look great and then there are girls my height and weight who don't look so great (and those who do!). I think in addition to where you carry your weight, the clothing you wear makes a big difference to how your weight looks. The number does not determine your appearance.
I wouldn't mind doing it on our board.
Ok.. use your imagination to get a full pic of my body lol I don't post revealing pics on FB and that's my only source of photos right now.
I'm 5'4, 140 most of the time - I def carry it in my ass, hips and chest.
ETA - forgot to list my sizes.. 10 bottoms, M tops, 8 dress
I've got a few pics for you.
I'm 5' 1", roughly 250lbs, and a size 20 or 22 in jeans.
I know you've all seen this one a million times, but it's the only one straight-on without my bouquet in front of me.

These are from last April - same height and approx weight.

IMG_0062 by Tisha_McFluffy, on Flickr
And this is me at probably more like 240lbs. This was taken I think 3 years ago.

And, this is what I would have looked like if I was living back in the big-dress-tiny-waist days. :-) Again, approx 250lbs.
I still don't know how that woman got that thing zipped up. lmao

As you can see, I carry my weight pretty much equally all over. I'm not un-thankful for that. It makes clothes shopping not too bad. I do wish my boobs were smaller and wish I didn't have back-fat... but overall, I'm ok with who I am. :-)

These are me on the HM at about 142#, 5'-5". I'm up to 147 now. (I don't have more recent pics on work computer).
According to the BMI calculator, I'd need to be at about 120 (so lose 20# from this picture), so have an "ideal" BMI. Pssht! There's no way in he!! that'll happen. ETA: I do have a "healthy" BMI of 25, but the ideal for my height is 20 or 21.
On average I'm a size small/med top and size 4/6 or 28/29 dresses and pants.
I carry a decent amount of muscle, especially in my legs (especially especially upper legs). And sometimes I swear I have a Kim Kardashian bootay

According to the BMI calculator, I'm pretty much OMGZDEATHFAT!!!!!!111!!!!!!1!
I'd have to lose 118lbs to be "normal" - I haven't weighed 132lbs since probably the 7th grade, so I don't see that happening. I'm quite "normal" just the way I am, thankyouverymuch! :-)

I just looked through all of the pictures I have access to right now and not one of me in fitted clothing exists. This is the best I can do. I have (and have always had) a bubble butt - that gets more bubbly by the week, it seems.
Chris said a month or so ago, "Your belly has finally caught up with your butt!" If I didn't know it was true, it might bother me...but it's SO true! Fortunately my belly has now surpassed it. Anyway...
I'm 5'1" and was probably 125 to 130 in this picture from our honeymoon:
I wear size 6 pants (M lounge pants), S or M top, and size 4 or 6 dress.
When I met Chris five and a half years ago, I weighed 94 lbs and size 0 was too big for me. He asked me to never be that skinny again. I think 115 to 120 would be ideal for my frame...but in better fitness shape than I'm in now.
Megan & Chris
I would play, but I still haven't learned to PIP. (My own fault, its been explained to me).
Anyway, Tisha and I could be twins, I would just be about 5 inches taller. We are built very similarly, similar weight, etc. I have a small waist, as well as giant boobs and good birthing hips

TTC Since January 2011 - We have bad spermI am 5'8, 150 lbs. I wear size 8 pants, dress, etc and medium (somtimes small) tops. I carry a lot of weight in my stomach. My belly has always protruded even when I was a skinny 125 lbs in high school. My sisters' bellies (even my super skinny 5'2 100 lb sister) also stick out a bit no matter how thin we are, so partly it is a family trait
As for BMI I am right in the middle of what they say is the healthy range, but I agree w/above BMI does not tell the whole story. DH needs to lose weight, but if he reached the healthy range for his BMI he would look emaciated.
I'm 5'4 (basically - another 1/4 inch and I would be) at 119 lbs. I believe my jeans are a 6, dresses between 4 and 6, and usually wear small or medium tops, depending where I'm spending my money.
Wow! We are the same height and I cannot imagine being 119lbs! I was super skinny in my early college years and the lowest I ever got down to was 124lbs and that wasn't healthy and didn't last long at all.
I've always been small i was about 4'11 I weighted around 95 lbs from middle school through out high school, I was in size 0 pants and xs tops,I had no meat on them bones I had no butt and pretty small boobs. here is the best photo I have of that it was 05 that was taken
Fast forward to meeting the hubby and having someone to cook for, and having back surgery I put weight on.... I'm now about 5'1 (thanks to that surgery) and about 117 lbs I think the bmi told me that I'm in the bracket for healthy weight for my height , I'm in 4 some time 6 petite due to my butt/hips/thighs and small tops
this one is from the wedding, getting ready
and then on the HM
Like Megan, Mike has asked me never to be that 95 lbs skin and bones ever again, that I looked sick.
I think I was actually closer to 115 in that photo, but I'd just gotten over a nasty bout of the flu. I was 118 on our wedding day, and I'm trying to get up to a healthy 120, which means my weight has been fluctuating with working out and whatnot.
OK, I guess I will play.... here I am at our rehearsal:
on the wedding day, from the back. I have very broad shoulders
My cousin putting on my something blue (temp. tattoo)
I am about 5'5", 250lbs, and wear a size 18/20 or 2X
I have like....NO muscle. At all.
I am 5'9, 120 pounds. Pant size 6/7, Shirt size XS/S (depending on the company), and dress size 2/4.
People NEVER believe my pant size, but I have bigger hips than people realize.
Clothes:
Bathing Suit:
I hate being in a bathing suit, and I hate people seeing me in a bathing suit. So the reason I am posting this is because I'm trying to get over that!
I'd love to be your height!! Do you any issues finding pants that fit in the waist but are long enough?

I started to not post on here, not because I personally think I'm unattractive at my weight, but because a lot of people seem to think I should be uncomfortable with my weight. %*@& all that noise...I am who I am, regardless of what the scale says, and I happen to think that who I am is pretty cool and not so hard on the eyes, either.
This picture was literally taken by my daughter about 5 minutes ago because I didn't have any full-body shots. This is pretty much how I look on any given day, unless I have to dress up to go see a client (please excuse Riley's tail):
I am somewhere between 5'7 and 5'8, and I weigh 321 lbs. Yes, really. Some of it is medication-related (I'm a kidney patient), some of it is genetics, and some is because, like everyone else, I eat for convenience and not necessarily for health all the time. Would I like to lose weight? Sure, who wouldn't? But do I think I'm ugly because I'm big? Not so much. I like me!
ETA: Ooops, I forgot sizes: I wear size 24 or 26 jeans, and that T-shirt is an XL, but I usually wear 2X if I want it to fit and 3X if I want a little more room.
I will play...
When I met Lance I was 5'4 and 125 lbs, size 1/2 to 3/4 pants and small for shirts.
THEN...I got off the pill and WHAM-O, I gained about 40-45 lbs. I am now about 162-166 lbs and size 10/11 pants and medium-large tops. I have a ginormous booty and have gained some boobs also, I have big dancer thighs that don't ever go away, they could stand to be a little smaller right now though.
Here is a before/on BC pic, this is actually in 2008 for Halloween:
Here is right after I got off BC:
Last year in Jamaica (hello cottage cheese ass):
Getting ready for the wedding:
I went a little crazy
I'm 5'5", and fluctuate between 130-138. I'm currently at 133lbs; I have typical insecurities about my weight, and according to my body composition indicator (hand held) I'm ~24% body fat. I have a BMI of 21.8; I wear a size 6 pant, and a small to medium top, depending on the brand. I'm sort of hour-glass shaped, so big breasts and hips, but small waist.
Here is a pic of me from our honeymoon in shorts (I think my legs are hideous in shorts, but I
you all so I'll show them):
Here's my ugly hip roll fat:
And just 30 minutes later when I remembered if I suck in my stomach I do kind of have abs:
And OMG could I seriously be more pasty white? Hard to believe I live in San Diego. LOL...
I am 5'9" and weigh approximately 260 pounds. I wear anywhere between a 20-24 pant (depends on the store), 16-20 dress (it really is weird!) and an XL-2X shirt (again depends on the store and the particular shirt). I did not have too many good full length pictures since I am not a fan of them so hopefully these work.
This is a picture from DH and I's first valentine's together in 2009.

This is from our honeymoon in Puerta Vallarta. It is one of the few pictures I have full length that is not me in a dress.

I am not even close to a 'healthy' BMI, but I could care less. I wish I could lose some weight, but it seems to be happy where it is at...oh well!
Okay, this is hard for me. I don't tell ANYONE my weight. I don't think Matt even knows what I weigh. But now I am posting for the whole world to see. I am 5' 8" and weigh 190 lbs, size 16 mostly (some 14).
Like many, it was hard to find full body / straight on pictures. I tend to avoid being photographed that way. But here's a few that are close.
I was closer to 200 lbs. here (taken last summer, before the wedding weight loss).
At my bridal shower in October.
Before the wedding.
Apparently, both before and after the ceremony I had a glass of wine in my hand.
Ok here we go....and im doing this because im owning up to it....maybe it'll help me change.
I'm 5'2.....5'3 on the good days
and my day two period, 5:30pm weigh in was 332 lbs. I am HORRIFIED....absolutely HORRIFIED.....
I'm a xxl shirt/ cardigan at old navy, a 22/24ish top at lane bryant, and a 26/28 everything else.....
just gotta take it one day at a time.....ugh....
that was 20lbs ago....ish.....
Getting fit for IVF!
This!!!! Lovely, amazing people.
