    I'm 15% smaller than I thought. Insane how we judge ourselves so harshly.

    Thank you for this! I am 10% smaller than I think I am. And apparently I have an hourglass figure. I guess that's why I look so proportionate.

    ehhh... I don't know about this... measurements are all fine and dandy.. but you put my measurements (at 5'10) on someone who is 5'1 and you are going to have a completely different looking woman... and they didn't ask for height.

    Wow! I guessed myself two sizes bigger than I am. I was definitely surprised.

    WOW!! I guessed 17.5% bigger than I am. From the replies so far, it looks like we mostly all (with a few exceptions) have a distorted view of ourselves.

    I love this site, thank you!!

    I guessed myself too big (7.5%) and have the same shape as Kelly Brook, Scarlet Johansson and Rachel Weisz, gave me such a confidence boost!

    OK, this site is NOT for tall girls. I mean, I know I'm a pear but I am not 12.5% LARGER than I think I am.... :-/
    They should really add height, it changes a lot (I'm 5'8).
    Or maybe I'm just SUPER confident :-))) (mmm... not).

    Interesting - I guessed myself 5% larger than what I actually am. Seems pretty accurate (for me) because I wavered between the "actual" model and the one I chose when I initially had to select the one that most resembled myself.

    On a positive note, my body shape is pear . . . . like Beyonce's LOL :laugh: !

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

    I was spot on as well.

    you are 5% smaller than you think you are...Your measurements indicate that you're actually smaller than the size you guessed on the sliding scale! We've also calculated your body shape, as it might be different to that of the model. Take a look below to find out more.

    I think most of us see ourselves bigger than we are!

    That's crazy. I see myself 7.5% bigger than I actually am. I figured I was an hourglass shape. Now I just need to finish dropping the weight and tone up to that I can see myself in a brighter light.

    Thanks OP for posting this! Definitely an eye opener.

    Crazy!!! I never knew what body shape I was either.

    Pear shape! I got a big ol' booty.

    That was interesting! I guessed myself to be 25% bigger than I am!

    They said "YOU ARE THE PERFECT HOURGLASS Hourglass: A smaller mid-section with a fuller bust and wider hips." - I don't see it. Guess that's why I guess way off!

    This site reminds me of the show How to look good naked - a UK show...just like this site!

    I guessed myself 22% too big the first time, and then 15% the next time .... It said I was a pear shape and then an hourglass lol .. Which I'm not .. I'm an apple shape (bigger through the shoulders, bust&tummy, ... and smaller hips and legs) ... but it definitely gives you something to think about!

    Great post!

    I was spot on too. I am happily maintaining my weight and very in-tune with my body.

    I'm 7.5% smaller than I thought and I guessed low as my OH always says I'm smaller than I think!! I just took my jeans out of the dryer and thought they'd shrunk but apparently they really were that small. I've gone from a UK 18 to a 10, 76lb lost and I really don't think my brain has caught up yet lol

    That was really neat and insightful on how I view my own body. I guess it's hard to see that changes sometimes when you have been big for so long.

    thanks, great website, but when doing their survey doesnt give the option to choose usa/america, or even 'other' :( thank you soo much though! I only guessed 1 size bigger :)

    I guessed myself (12.5% smaller) 2.5 sizes too big. Had no idea I was an hourglass.

    I'm 32.5% smaller than I think. I don't think it's right though, I picked the one who does look a lot like me, pear shape with still extra weight. It puts me between the first two, and that's just not right. I do have a perfect pear, but there's no denying that with my super hips.

    27.5% smaller than I thought?! Wow!!!
    This was definitely a confidence booster (And I already thought I had high self esteem) :blushing:

    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.

    Yep....went up a size...otherwise would have been spot on. Just the conversation that I had with a friend this morning. I look in the mirror and don't see the changes - well, I do - but not as drastic as people around me seem to imply. I did go from a Canadian 16 to 12 (shooting for that 10 soon).
