    I guesses a size and a half bigger than I really am, 15% I think it said. And it says that I'm a "perfect pear" Yay, I'm perfect!!!

    OMG thank you so much for this, I guessed many sizes bigger and also it came up saying I'm "the perfect hourglass" :blushing:
    I don't know about "perfect", but this really boosted my self esteem today!

    Thank you :flowerforyou:

    Wow.

    My husband has been telling me he thinks I'm suffering from a mild case of body dysmorphia, and now I think I'm starting to believe him.

    The site said I'm "the perfect hourglass", and rated my self-image estimations at 5% bigger than I actually am.

    I think from looking through the responses that I'm the only one who chose a size smaller than it says I am. I chose the second one from the left and it said I was actually between the second and 3rd one - 2.5% larger than I guessed, However, I was going by the legs. My legs are definitely as slim as the second from the left as I have a thigh gap - but maybe I have slightly bigger hips or waist or something. But it's interesting that so many people have the perception of themselves as being so much bigger than they are.

    I decided to give this a try. It was good because it forced me to find my tape measure and take some measurements. I've never been one to do that very much; I mostly go by weight and how my clothes fit.

    Anyway, it said I am actually 5% bigger than the body I chose. But I'm OK with that, because I'm 6'1", so I think I have a tendency to not realize how big I am anyway. :-)

    But I do agree with people who say that height should be taken into account. After all, my measurements look a lot different on someone who's a foot shorter than me.

    For example, I have a small chest, but pretty broad shoulders, so I don't really think wearing big shoulder pads is a good idea for me (which was one of the suggestions). Maybe on someone shorter, that would work better.

    In addition, I said my favorite body part is my legs, and they were giving me advice on how to make them look longer, etc. Ha! I definitely don't need help with that. :-)

    It was interesting, nonetheless, and like I said, I think the biggest thing I got out of it was actually taking my measurements. I shall try to do that more frequently from here on out.

    wow I loved this...I thought I would do pretty well on this. I thought that I was pretty good at determining on what I look like. But it said that I am actually 22.5% smaller than I thought crazy!


    also I was the smallest body on the chart :O. I have never felt like the smallest body of anything ever

    It says I am 2.5% LARGER than I think. My marker got moved to the right of the body I picked... I suspect my lack of a tiny waist is the cause. I probably have the bust/hips of the one I picked but the waist of the next size up!

    It said I was two sizes smaller than I thought, but it also said I'm a perfect hourglass figure. If I had to pick one type, I would pick hour glass, but I am pretty sure I've read on here that in order to be an hourglass, you have to have 10 inches between hips and waist size?

    Wow - 22.5% (4.5 sizes) smaller than I think I am! I do know that my mind hasn't quite caught up with the weight I've lost so far, but I was so surprised that I asked my partner to choose which size he thought I was and he picked the right one - what a hoot!

    Thanks OP - this was fun, and a good little boost =)

    Somewhat accurate. It said my shoulders are small, though. But I'm broad-shouldered and my shoulders are not small.

    Said..."you are exactly what you think you are..." Didn't think I was really hourglass though. LOL

    I was one size too big on the one I picked...not to bad since none of them were really shaped like I am. I do think they should go height though, I'm 5'11 and will look proportionally different to people that are much shorter.

    That was fun! Although I agree it should include height. It said I'm 20% smaller than I think I am. Nice boost to my day.

    Apparently I'm 22.5% smaller than I think....interesting...

    Me too, but it seems we are always harder on ourselves. I'd say I'm doing quite well trying to adjust my brain to having lost 60 pounds. Doubtless it will take a while before I see what others see.
