What is average?????
Posted: 6/17/2006 4:35:15 AM

According to national statistics, the average woman is 5.5ft and weighing about 8.5st


I'm 5ft 5 and if i got down to 8.5st, i would look poorly.
My weight does go up and down anything from size 10 -14.

When i'm a size 10 I've always weighed 10st, so quite a bit over the national statistics. But I've been told 10st is fat, it might be on someone else, but for me it isn't.
I don't know what average is anymore, we all come in different shapes and sizes. I'm just me.

exactly miss' h. I too am 5.5' and weigh just off 10stone, and could no way be described as fat.
If i was 8.5stone i'd look skinnier than Mrs Beckham (will someone feed that poor little chick, feel sorry for her ) and a scraggy neck is soooo..not a good look .

Thing about size 10 is tho' , it used to be known as a size 12- the fashion fags have sized evrything down-Why, Its a begger when buying-have to return.
Stop bluddy mucking around with the sizes.

and to all us 10 stoners (and above or below)

o/t i am not average in any way.

Which is why I posted the thread , because there is no such thing as average, we come in all shapes and sizes....
It was because I was reading some Nhs leaflets the other day ,,and thought just the same as you little angel

Hmmm.... if, as the leaflet says, the average guy is supposed to be around 5.9ft and weighing 12st, It's no wonder I have trouble!

I'm 6'7" (ish) and weigh in at just over 14st!

Still, I'd say I was average weight.

If I still had the time to go fencing, play sport or hit the gym with any regularity, i'd say I probably be athletic... but chocolate and the pub keep getting in the way!

Shooting for average show a tremendous lack of imagination. Give me someone great and I will show you a person without comparison. No one especially women should subscribe to the notion of average. Just be your brilliant self everyone and average will mean a h*ll of a lot more than it does currently.

Death to average! LOL

Average......... What the hell is average...??

Some men and women think that slim people are average, and some men and women think that slightly over weight are average..

Each to their own...

i also say im of average build, being a size 14 but guess if the statistics are anything to go by-ive been lying lol

I need to be around 10ft tall plus

If I want to match what 'should be' my ideal weight

Never mind someone has to be bigger than average

Might as well as be me - all 5ft 5 of me in reality haha...

Can't believe i wrote something as crass, obnoxious and egotistical as that, even if it is true haha - at almost 5'9" I once weighed 9 and a half stone and looked horribly ill and far too thin...won't tell you what I weighed at my heaviest, u'd all be shocked but it does make a huge difference to the way people percieve you, in my experience overweight/obese people are totally discriminated against

I don't think I will ever be average size...I've always been a big girl and have been working on it for quite some time. If i really wanted it bad i suppose i would work even harder but what's so good about being average. I would prefer to be healthy...hmmm does anyone know how many pounds equal 1 stone..is it like 14?? i thought i heard that while overseas but not sure.

16 ounces = 1 pound
14 pounds = 1 stone.

Message 7.. you have made my day.. I'm not average

I thought average meant that you were size 12 with a few extra curves . which is me.. so now I know i'm not average.. but i don't realy see myself as slim either.. there isn't a box for slim and curvy.. so now what

I'm with Mistress-H, I'm 5'5" and would fade away into the background if I weighed 8.5 stone...I'm a bigger girl but I wouldn't wanna weigh so little! Like my curves....

Think the "national average" is about a size 16 isn't it?

Well If ugly is someone who scares babies and people make the sign of the cross when they walk past and beautiful is someone strutting her stuff on the catwalk, then i am in-between ...average... ie:not thin, not fat, not ugly, not beautiful just average and im ok with that.

If half the women on this sire were 5 foot tall, and the other half were only 5 foot tall, the average height would be 5 foot 6

but not a single women could be classed as average!!

and theni ff you start to add in all the other variables like weight, vital stats, nose size, eye colour etc, it just becomes farcica. lin terms of comparatives for people it is a meaningless and useless term which tells us nothing

Everyone is unique, we are not average we are unique and you do yourself a disservice calling yourself average
