Default Interesting Height/Weight Site

I found this website that shows what regular people look like at your height/weight combination.

Photographic Height

That's really cool! I thought it was funny that for my height (5'2") there was no photo over 210 pounds (which is what I weigh now). I'd love to see some photos of other people who weighed what I did at my highest (280) and at surgery (250). I hope I look as good as the two photos nearest my goal (130 and 120).

Thanks Mike!
You always come up with fun/interesting comparisons!
I'm "average" - it being that my "slot" has already been taken!
Cheers,
Vim

I agree! I'm only 4' 10'', and there were only a few.
But the site is very interesting!

If anyone sends in their photo's for the open slots (his link asking for more is at the top).. let us know.. would be fun to see someone we 'know'!

I'm 5'4" and might consider filling an open slot.. there were a few there.

I was thinking the same thing, Kel...but maybe in 20 more pounds.

I looked at the folks that were around my height/weight and I was a tad discouraged. In my brain, I feel bigger than I am, but when I look at these people, I don't feel as big as some of them. My mind is playing an immense amount of tricks on me!

Oh, and Kel, good luck today!
