Interesting webpage... (for the ladies)

I am "22.5% smaller" than I guessed. Also, I've always considered myself an "apple," but this website says I'm a "pear." I'm not so sure about that.... But we'll see how it goes as I get closer to where I want to be.

I guessed my size 2 sizes too big. Thank you

I find this website doesn't look at all the facts. First, I was expecting they would take height into their calculation. I am 5'0", and consider myself an apple shape. However, the website told me I had a curvy figure. My hips are narrow, but I have the additional inches in my kaboose, and I am small busted, but I have a wide upper back, which increases the inches as well. I'm more like a plank of wood, rectangular, and flat! :sad: :ohwell:

Oh, and what does your location have to do with this?

Am I the only one who was spot on? Makes me feel I have a bit too much confidence...

Nope, me too. The funny thing is, I probably would've guessed the same body size when I was 40 lbs heavier. I always thought I carried my weight very well... until I saw my self from all angles in a gym class with mirrored walls. Yikes!

In the UK , our health and lifestyles are very clearly split depending on the location where we live and we have decades no actually centuries of data which supports this. For example people who live in the south of England have a longer life expectancy that those in the north. Obviously there are exceptions to the rule, there always are but I assume this app is based on what they consider lifestyle likelihood to be.

bump...have to find my measuring tape!

I guessed myself as the fourth lady from the left. Then did the measurements and I'm actually the first lady on the left. Talk about body image issues...

I'm 15% smaller than I think I am.

(edited to add percentage)

Pear shape :mad:

However I was 12.5% smaller than I thought. Cool site!

Great site for a reality check. I was 12.5% less (2 1/2 models off) from my self-perception. I wonder how many underestimate themselves...probably not many! Thanks for the interesting activity!

Very neat. I guessed 12.5% bigger than I am. All I see is the same rolls and bumps I had 70 lbs. ago, just smaller. But I still see them and they still seem overwhelmingly overwhelming. Funny how it's so difficult to see in the mirror the progress I've made. Guess it's time to stick up a "before" picture on the mirror.

tidesong

Oh, wow. I was off by four sizes. I thought I was much bigger. But that makes sense with how I see myself when I look in a mirror compared to what people tell me.

ETA: Apparently, I think I'm 20% larger than I am. *shakes head sadly* I gotta fix this self-image thing.

fpelletier

I guessed correctly as well, I am the perfect pear so it says LOL

junip1977

I guessed 15% bigger than I am. It says I am the perfect hourglass shape. I think not!! I have absolutely no waist at all, I go straight down so I am not sure how they got that result. I think it is just because my hips and bust are bigger than my waist. Oh well, still really neat, thanks for sharing.
