Get Wise About Your Size

in Health and Weight Loss
My sister shared this with me this AM, and I thought it was really interesting. I really thought I had a realistic image of my body, and my guess was three "bodies" too big.

It made me feel better, and feel like I have a little bit of a more positive view of my body.

Just wanted to share.

This isn't spam, or a weightloss plan or anything like that. You guess which body type/size you have, enter your actual measurement and it tells you which body type/size you actually are.

    Someone posted this yesterday. I wish it took more measurements though. The one it said was me had smaller arms and bigger thighs.

    I used my pre-pregnancy measurements, and I'm 4.5 sizes smaller than I thought (Currently 23 weeks preg). Although, I think by pictures I'm much closer to the size I guessed! hmmm

    Strange that it doesn't ask height.

    I deal with some serious body image distortion issues and this was very helpful! I was 3 sizes smaller than I had guessed. Great post!:smile:

    Oh how nice!! I really appreciate how it gives you some little encouraging "here's how to dress" boosts at the bottom! Neat!

    It said that I'm 12.5% smaller than I think I am! That's sort of comforting.
    Haha, thank you for posting this. :flowerforyou:

    I'm not so sure about this. I've seen photos of myself and I'm pretty sure I am not that small. :laugh: I was also SUPER thrilled to discover I am a "perfect rectangle." :grumble:

    It said I was 5% smaller than I think I am and "the perfect hourglass". :laugh: I wish!!


    ETA: I'm from the US so just chose the first city, but I can't imagine how what city you live would matter.

    I am "the perfect hourglass" and apparently 2.5% smaller than I thought.

    I just chose the first city too. I'm sure that's throwing off their data collection.

    It should ask for height, but I do believe most of us see ourselves bigger than we are.

    I just chose the first city too. I'm sure that's throwing off their data collection.

    I went back in and answered everything differently, except my original body choice and my measurements (different city, different favorite body part, different . I got the same result.

    Then, just to see if I was getting an old lady discount, I answered everything the same as I did the first time except put my age as 26-30 and still got the same results.

    But honestly, I see very little difference between the body I chose and the one next to it that they chose.
