    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.

    I was going to say...there's no way an 18 or a 15 LOL

    Kind of wondering if people agree with me on myself. LOL

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

    Thanks!! :heart:

    I will never be "thin" - my doctor once said I'd likely never be below a 14 size-wise after some x-rays and stuff. But I can definitely be more fit and healthy!

    I see myself as a 12 or 15, had a hard time picking...And I want to be 3 or a 5, Here is me...

    I disagree with the 8 suggestion, you have nowhere near the shape or meat for that one.

    You're much smaller than a 12 and not enough hips/thighs to be a 15.

    Your legs are already a 5. Your torso is shorter like the 14 and the hip-to-waist ratio is also similar. I think your size is also a 14, just more skin around the arms and midsection.

    P.S. 4 boys!

    My husband always tells me I have a warped view of my body, but I think I'm pretty accurate. Here is my pic as of today. I am currently the heaviest I've ever been.

    I think I am probably closest to either 18 or 19.

    I'd love to be a 5, but realistically I'd be happy with 11 or 12.

    I hope this works - this is my first time trying to post a picture.

    I'm calling a cross between 13 and 17. Slightly pear shaped, voluptuous. And solid, not flabby, which is great.

    :) You're a sweetie. I guess I could see that - I take a comparison to 13 as a real compliment mind you!

    I asked my husband what he thought I was and what he would like me to be. He said 9... for both his answers! And honestly, I'd be happy to have that body in 9.

    ahhh!! can't believe I am posting this as I am so shy about things like this.

    However after reading through, thought it would be good for me! I think I am a 15, would love to be a 5!!

    Thank you! I really appreciate this whole experiment. I never thought I'd be brave enough to post a pic like this (and I know I'm not the only one) and hearing how others perceive my body, since it really does differ from the way I feel about myself! I'm sure this was the purpose of the original poster - thanks for doing this!

    I guess I'm between #2 and #5 (not sure) and I'd like to be exactly what I am.

    Ok, so this has been a lot more difficult than I thought. Some days I look in the mirror and see something between 15-18, others I see a 1. I don't mean any offence to the ladies pictured, I'm just trying to illustrate that it's difficult for me to see myself as I am. Then I look at pictures and become all the more confused by the difference between the mirror and the camera! So that's why these days I've decided to try and stress less about what I percieve myself to look like, and focus on what I can DO.

    What I would LIKE to be is a 3, 5, or 11.

    What actually I am is probably a 14.

    I just have to say, you look fabulous and I would probably sacrifice a limb to look like you do in a 2 piece. :) lol, cute suit btw! Great idea OP

    I completely get how you feel. I am finding it difficult to pick a number for you, thinking between a 5/3. However, you have a fab figure, you really do!!
