What does 5'7 135lbs look like on a woman?

I have broad shoulders. Just what would this look like ? I have been searching the net trying to find photos but come up with nothing

I'm 5' 8" @ 135 lbs (small/medium frame).  That's me in my profile picture if that helps you at all. 

There is a site... Mybodygallery.com?

But remember that everyone carries their weight a little differently. How one person looks is not how another will. Most of us would be better served having a goal of looking the best for our own bodies, rather than trying to look like someone else.

You look awesome. Thanks. Do you have broad shoulders? I just want to know if my shoulders will look less wide when I shed the weight

Yes, I have been to that site but some of the examples don't look accurate to me

That's kind of the point - not everyone will look as you might expect, as some carry their weight "better" or "worse," or have more or less muscle, and there is no one way for a 5'7" 135lb woman to look.

Thank you!  No, I've never thought of myself as having broad shoulders.  But, sometimes coats/jackets fit a little snug in that area so who knows ;). 

Well, I'm 5'7" and I have very broad shoulders. My profile pic(which is kind of old :P) is me at 135 lbs. But not everyone carries weight the same way. Some people have larger frames, more muscle mass, denser bones, and have different body proportions. I myself am medium-large framed, I'm somewhat muscular, and I carry most of my weight in the abs and inner thighs. It's different for some other women. Nonetheless, most 5'7" women have their ideal weight range at around 135, so it should be a good weight :)

Thats my sister and she has broad shoulders and a boyish frame. I think she looks good at 135, when she was lower her shoulders were too noticeable. I mean, she still looks like a linebacker lol... For her its all about picking the right shirts. Like NOOO halters. That is football nation right there.

She is super athletic built too so really she's just... awesome :)

Your shoulders don't look broad to me at all. I would love to be your size and have my shoulders look like yours.

bump anyone else

Here's my 2cents. I'm 5'7" and 143 lbs. 135 would be way too thin for me. I'm 52 years old, in awesome shape, strength train regularly and my weight is well distributed on my body. However, when I let my weight drop below 142 i look much too thin in my face. There are multiple factors that determine what you look like at a particular weight.
