No wonder women are wieght insecure

So I was browsing the net and I came across a few celebritie's wieght and heights. It is no wonder we are so insecure about our weight.....

Sarah Jessica Parker 5?4? 100 lbs

 Jennifer Aniston 5?5? 112lbs

 Claudia Schiffer 5?11? 128 lbs

Christy Turlington 5?10?

 119lbs Kate Moss 5?6? 105lbs

This is insane.....

nah..its just small frames and people at thier celeb state best.

they go up and down in weights as well.

i want to be super skinny but even s. parker is a bit thin for me. but she was always so teensy. ( flight of the navigator - remember her in that?)

i like to look at stats of old movie stars before everyone was working out and lipo-ed  up.

the women had all different bodies too...you had hepburn who was a total stick and then jane mansfield who had curves that she wore well.

and they look like real bodies to me. new celebs look fake.
i think a lot of them over-do it.

scarlet j - i think shes someone that looks real.
i dont know what her wt is though.

She was on the site too

5'4" 115 pounds

Marilyn Monroe was FAT by today's standards.

I think Drew Barrymoore (if I'm thinking about the right person) is very attractive and a much more sensible weight.

Do you really think they're telling the truth?? I bet there's some little white lies going on...

dziewcyna, i doubt these are the ACTUAL weights of the actress's.

Also, i dont believe that Scar Jo is 115. She would look like a stick if she were 115. I think she is probably around 130-135 which is a healthy weight for her height.

I think we need more celebs like her who embrace their bodies!!

compare jennifer aniston on early episodes of friends to how she looked at the end.  dramatically thinner...almost too thin.  same with courtney cox.  and i've always thought sarah jessica parker was a little too thin too. it isnt natural for them either, and im sure  most of female celebs do the diets and restrictions just like normal folk.  but they can afford to hire someone to deal with every aspect of their life.  my philosophy is just because they are thin doesnt mean they are any happier than the rest of us.  and the pressure for them to stay that way probably weighs on them greatly.  no wonder so many turn to drugs and alcohol.  not worth it in my opinion.  what is being thin if you arent happy and you spend your life devoted to staying that way?

all of them are seriously underweight, and probably undernourished too, since it's impossible to get enough nutrients from a starvation diet.

They risk osteoporosis, heart failure and wasted internal organs.  They are definitely not healthy.

Marilyn Was NOT Fat. By any standards, that is kind of a myth I think. She just was curvey, and she looked good :D

i thought she was taller than that.


i would believe 115. shes shorter than me by three inches. which would be what i am about right now with adding 5 lbs per inch. i am far from a stick.

but i also have a small frame.

most people have medium frames.
that would be why its throwing you off.
add about 10 pounds to thier wts. thats what they would weigh in a medium frame roughly. seems more reallity based when you make them a normal frame size and wt with math. hee hee

the medium framed version i just made up:

Sarah Jessica Parker 5?4? 110 lbs

Jennifer Aniston 5?5? 122lbs

Claudia Schiffer 5?11? 138 lbs

Christy Turlington 5?10? 129lbs

Kate Moss 5?6? 115lbs

I think I read once Marilyn Monroe wore a size 16.  Granted back then a size 16 is what a 12 or 14 is today  I am techniclly 20 lbs overweight but can wear a size 10 quite comfortably today where as 2 years ago I was wearing a size 10 and weighed 20 lbs less.  It all depends on where the distribution of weight is also if its fat vs muscle.  

I would believe ScarJo is 115. She's hardly muscular. Just... normal sized. People, different numbers on the scale represent different body types... not everyone of the same height and weight looks the same. That being said, I wouldn't trust any of these sites or tabloids that claim to know the weights of celebrities... they don't give those details up that easily, unless they are tiny.

Really, the others are thin but the only person on that list who i'd force-feed a hamburger is Sarah Jessica Parker. Girl looks seriously malnourished.

I just want to chime in here and say that plenty of men are insecure about their weight, probably more than most women would expect.

good point dm84, girls are just more vocal about it.

Marilyn Monroe is more like today's size 6 (UK), so US 2.  She weighed 53 kilos (116 pounds) and the Marilyn-was-size-16 is a bit of a myth.  She had a 23 inch waist, which is the same as Victoria Beckham (Posh).  She had hips, but they were also small compared with today's average...

So gross! Anyway, what I don't understand is WHY people who start out as quite overweight set their goals so low -- low as in a low number on the scale. You would think they'd be satisfied with "normal" rather than "super skinny." It's the WEIRDEST thing. Everybody KNOWS it doesn't look good yet everybody has to be in competition with each other because, "God forbid" they're not the thinnest. Those celebs probably lie about their weights ... although they do look awful so it probably IS true. 5'5" and 112 -- GIVE ME A BREAK!!! Her bones probably cut into the sofa when she sits down. Blech!

Mariliyn sure didn't look SMALL. She looked "regular." She had a meaty body. Look at the pix of her in a swimsuit.

Being too thin is as horrible for your body as being too overweight. However, neither are "insane" or "gross", just not as healthy as one could be.

The entertainment business is not good for health.  I've seen so many female celebrities go from being very beautiful to so thin they looked ill.  Jennifer Annison, Helen Hunt.  It's a shame that the business makes actresses feel that they have to risk their health just to get a job.  The good news is, we don't have to follow in their footsteps.

when she was older she went up to 145 i have seen written elsewhere but that from the mm homepage.


thanks alayney for calling me gross.

It is true, Marilyn Monroe was not a very big woman. But she had an amazing body shape, she looks a little bigger because nowadays the stars are unnaturally thin and are buff on top of it. Back in 1950, buff was not the in look, so stars were "skinny-fat", small people without a lot of muscle.

I am a seamstress and I really like to buy vintage patterns from the fifties and make them. I will tell you first hand that I , at 118 pounds at 5'2" am normally somewhere between a size 14 and 16 in 1950's sizing.

The sizes run different today.

Overly skinny celebrities don't make me feel insecure, I know that much. I know they make other people feel insecure, but not me. I feel insecure because I used to be thinner, and the people around me have been watching me grow larger over the years. I give people around me the impression that I have no self-control, and for a while I didn't. That's why. I don't see overly skinny celebrities and want to be them. Never! I sometimes get jealous of people at healthy weights, but never the ones who are so skinny it's unhealthy.

:D
