    Very cool site - I was close to the right size, but guessed a size too big.
    How interesting how we see ourselves as compared to how others see us.
    Thanks for sharing!

    Yeah, amazing! I looked really hard and allowed for the weight I've lost and still saw myself as 7.5% bigger than I am. I think a previous poster has a valid point about height not being taken into account. I'm on the short side and am sure someone tall with my measurements would look a lot better.

    It also said I'm an hourglass shape & I could swear I'm a rectangle - there's not a big difference between my boobs & waist, and my waist & hips - and boobs and hips are the same. I see myself as a "blob" too!

    "you are exactly what you think you are..."

    Now is that good or bad, I wonder...

    I guessed correctly also. I think (based on previous weight loss attempts) that after I lose a more significant amount of weight it will become harder to pick myself out of a lineup like that though. I still have the same basic body shape that I did 30 pounds ago right now.

    Same with me, and I think it's a good thing :)

    My first guess for my size was actually right, but I decided before proceding that it looked too small to be me so guaged up. My problem with my image is that I *still* see myself as the size 10/12 that I used to be, because my top half hasn't changed much - it's not til I see pictures of myself I realise that actually, yes you really are 3 stone heavier and it's all from your waist down!

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

    nope, me too :cry: But apparently I *do* have a 'perfect hourglass'....somewhere :-)

    Pretty interesting. I actually guessed down 3 sizes on purpose because I know that I don't see myself as I am. And even with that, I was still off 15% off. Thanks for sharing the link

    I guessed 22.5% bigger than I am.

    I don't really find this accurate, because they are all the same body type, so I went with the body that had the widest hips since I'm a pear. Those models are not pears IMO. You should have to pick the model from the body shape you are. A size 16 apple, looks very different than a size 16 pear or hourglass.

    Just my thoughts.

    I guessed 2.5% larger, so pretty objective :) Also, came back as hourglass, which is always nice to hear.

    I think it's a great thing. i think that being off isn't bad either. But does anyone think that it may indicate some sort of disconnect or even mild body dysmorphia?

    I got it spot on as well. Not over-confident, just realistic about exactly where my thighs meet :laugh:

    40% smaller than I think I am. Worrying because last time it was only 30something% and I've lost weight since then.
