Wow, clicked on one photo of a girl that is only ten pounds less than me but is a whole four sizes smaller than me! Which goes to show how we really do carry our weight differently.

And this one made me LOL:

Sirenity, I checked out your blog and I think you are doing a wonderful job! I have a friend who at this time is probably where you were when you started. I want to forward her the link if that is OK. She needs the extra boost.

Aw, thank you! And sure, the blog's there for anyone to check out.

Haha, that's cute! I weigh my cat on my wii fit once in awhile, haha.

What I find remarkable is that some people close to my height look lighter than others who actually weigh less. For example the 4'11" 120 pounder looks smaller and fitter than the 5'3" girl who weighs just over 100 pounds. This is a hard concept for me to understand, even though I know that body composition has a great deal to do with it. I do refer to this chart often to see what I might look like if and when I ever reach my final goal weight. I've been stuck at 5 pounds from goal for over a year now and am beyond frustrated.

Ah, thanks for posting these sites, it is good to see that my goal weight is not only healthy but realistic, too!!

Thanks for posting the link. It really shows me that my secret goal of 130 is not too far off. I'm 5'6 BTW.

I love both those sites, I had to bump this again because it really shows that not everyone looks the same at the same height and weight.
