I cannot see your pic, but based on dimensions, im thinking you look fine, and have a nice shape even though its not skinny minny.

I actually weight less now than I did when I got married...before all those kids. People who say having kids made them fat use that as an excuse (but that's just my opinion).
You just said it right there. Those under 5' 8" women can always pull off that look and men LOVE them for it. If it's a really tall (over 6') not so much. Those chubby 5' to about 5' 5" women are cuter than a button!

That's really nothing after all your children. Although, those last 10 are supposed to be the hardest to lose.

Thank you both...

I do have a waistline and curves (dare I say that) but I'd like those curves to be just a bit smaller! lol

Not talking about Six at all, I just wanted to say that sometimes face pictures can be very deceiving (FYI for online dating). Myspace-type pics aside, some people's faces just give no clue as to what the rest of the body looks like. I knew a girl in college whose face was skinny, with cheekbones and all. Her body was also pretty normal down to her waist. Now, her rear end was a completely different story... There are just disproportionate bodies and the face is no indicator of what the rest of the body looks like. Sometimes thin girls can have pudgy faces, too.

Don't worry, from what I've seen, if they have some extra pounds they are more down to earth and likeable. It really SHOWS as well. They are glowing!

Wine is evil... You'll see a difference if you try to drink less.

That's very true, I've found that shorter women have way more leeway with their weight. When you get over 5'10 or so, only thin is really acceptable, if you are curvy and tall you just look huge.

If I was 5'5 I would have an awesome body, but since I'm 6'1 I just look gigantic.
