Default Anyone got good photos of someone at same weight but diff bodyfat %?

Hi guys

I have a 13 year old client, who insists she wants to lose 'a lot of weight'. I'm training her and her mum together and spent the consultation explaining to them both how exercise will help her look and feel better, but at any age, this can happen with less scale weight loss than you might want, and that especially at 13 she is still growing!

She is a normal sized 13 year old! Pretty, relatively slim, needs to get fit and 'shape up' to feel good about herself but is not an obese child who does need to lose a lot of weight...

To illustrate my points I want to show her a photo of a fit, healthy person with lean muscle (not 'muscley' though!) who is relatively low bodyfat but say 140lb, then another person the same height (or the same person pre-recomp) who is 140lb but a high bodyfat %.

I thought somewhere in this treasure trove of fitness info there might be someone who has some pics that I could show her...

Much appreciated!

Caroline
