What different weights look like

Numbers on a scale are hard to picture. These pages show the same body at different weights, so you can see what 140, 180 or 220 pounds actually looks like, how that changes with height, and what losing 10, 20 or 40 pounds does. To try your own height and goal, use the body visualizer.

On a woman (5′5″)

On a man (5′9″)

The pictures come from a small set of pre-made body models and BMI is only a rough screening number. For advice about your own weight, talk to your doctor.
