    This is maybe six months back.

    I'd say a 15 with way more tummy fat. I carry my weight there.

    I think I'm more of a 14 today, with more tummy fat. I had a 6 year old tell me I looked pregnant at the beach yesterday. I told her, "Thank you!"

    My goal is to be more of a cross between 5 and 7.

    Bumping.

    Yep, 15 is closest in that pic. Most of those women look like they never had kids.

    Thank you!

    I agree that the models look like they never had kids - but I've always packed a few spare calorie in my tummy, even when I was close to 18% body fat.

    Yep, same here though much more after the boys. I was all tummy with them and it's now the last to go, lol.

    What I see is something of a mix between 13/18.
    I like the 10-12 range, I'd be quite happy at 11.

    More like a mix of 13 and 17.

    I think I'm closest to either 15 or 11. I'd like to be more at 5 or 3.

    You actually have way more stomach and waist definition than 15. I'd put you at 11.

    I see an EXTREMELY curvy 13. Bet your bodyfat tests come back wacked out as well. You'd probably be best off assessing fitness by the definition in your upper abs.

    Yep, no on the 15. I'd put you between a 5 and an 11 (you have more definition than the 11).

    fun game ladies!

    I have 40" Hips, 28" waist - so mostly I think I am mostly a "3" but not as young, not as big boobs and def not that hot in a bikini ;-/

    These are the best I can find atm. My camera is dead and I can't find my batteries. Bah. So, this is it for now.

    I'd guess 15 or 11. This is harder than I thought it'd be. I have wide hips, which throws me off a bit.

    It is hard because of we are all so different. You can see where you fit with some body parts but miss on others.

    To me, you look like either #2 or #15.

    A 2 with 15's hip structure.

    We really are. :drinker:

    I admit that I struggled finding one I *thought* I looked closest to.

    Did not expect a 2, but I saw 15 for that exact reason. Hip structure.

    This is a nice thread. It's amazing to see how differently we see ourselves compared to how others see us.

    I talked it over with my husband.

    I have the body shape of number 3 (hourglass), but I am overall smaller and with a lower bodyfat %. I have smaller breasts, more visible abs, and muscle definition leaning towards number 5 athletic (but a smaller and more curvy figure than hers). For a brief moment he considered if I was shaped like number 8 (thick), but said that my waist is smaller, and that number 3 is closer to my shape.

    Edit to add: His perception of my body was the same as mine. I asked his opinion to see if it would match mine (without telling him mine). Because the point was to see if we were accurate. And I trust his experience with my body and his opinion of my body.

    Start of June. I'd say I'm an 18-20. I carry it all in my middle. =/

    I'd like to be anything below this, honestly. 4 if I must be honest, but very unlikely.

    Absolutely not. Your a solid 16.

    Edit: Your legs are longer but yeah, 16.

    Presently 4 or 5 and pretty happy with that. I don't have a photo sharing program so you'll just have to look at the several profile pictures I have :wink: When I was younger & taught fitness, I was a 5 to 7.

    You're 50! :noway:

    231495d2149c156a30c72e7f91e5ff3fd159.jpg

    You'd be a 5 ... if 5 had more style! Can I be you when I grow up?

    Thanks! You make me blush! Yep, 50 YO in March. It helps that I never had children, and that I've worked in the Health & Fitness Industry for over 25 years, lol.

    Here's another one:

    Still thinking 2? Working toward 5.
    1c180958274ab279e6ae064ec599436e1ef3.jpg

    I've lost about 4-5 lbs. since this pic was taken.

    1-2 looks accurate. More muscle than 1, but thinner than 2.

    Third time was definitely the charm. I didn't realize it'd be that gigantic.

    Please ignore the hair. It was really windy outside that day. LOL

    I think you're somewhere between 19 an 20 but it's hard to say. :flowerforyou:

    I'd say 11 going for...11. lol, actually going for a 5, but perfectly fine being at an 11 too.

    2qjzv54.jpg

    I can't decide which is closer, you have more muscle than the 11 but softer than the 5, hehe.

    lol, that's pretty much what I was thinking!

    13 or 18

    Would like to be an 11 or 6 (?) The thick athletic.
    It's hard to compare them because some are more clothed than others, and they aren't separated into top or bottom heavy.

    ETA: no pic because I find the process tedious and I dont have photobucket.

    You look like a 2 or 3 to me, maybe it's the angle and clothing, but I can't see you being an 18 or 15.
