    It says I'm 5% smaller than I saw on here....not sure if that feels true though.

    I chose number 9...and I am number five, the "perfect hourglass". That is crazy...I didn't know my view of myself was so warped =/

    17.5 smaller than I selected.
    HOLY ****.

    LOL...it said that I guessed my exact size too. I guess we are more aware of our bodies then we think. Although I always put that I was athletic body type, but now after baby it stated that I was pear shape (which I can totally see now that I look at myself closer).

    i chose size 7, when in reality, I am supposedly a size 2, a perfect hourglass. Go figure

    Interesting! I guessed 15% to big. But I already know I have a distorted image of myself.

    I was 30% smaller than I thought i was. It's interesting what you think of yourself versus what you really are.

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

    I'm right there with ya. Spot on.

    Same here - I debated about two different ones and then decided on the one that had a little more waist definition, because I have noticed that weight loss has eliminated that top spare tire! :-D

    I'm 10% smaller than I thought I was! WOW. That's actually really interesting. I did some reading a while back on improving body image and self confidence and this graphically demonstrates just how wrong our thought processes can be. Thank you x

    I was only 2.5% off. I clearly spend too much time obsessing about my body.

    Also, calling me a "perfect pear" doesn't make it sound more appealing.

    Me too - gotta remember though, pears are juicy :love:

    That's interesting! I guessed myself 7.5% too big!

    Me too! This is definitely a good wake-up call...

    I suggest all women check out http://www.mybodygallery.com/index.html

    You enter in a size, weight, pant size - and it shows you pics of other women that size. This is very useful - as you will look at them and see them as they are. When we look at ourselves...we usually see ourselves as larger than we are. It helps to see others our size to put it in perspective...like looking at yourself through a stranger's eyes.

    Very interesting, looks like I guessed myself 35% too big. Very neat way to put things into perspective, as woman we can be very harsh on ourselves.

    woo hoo I'm actually 10% smaller than I thought that's a real confidence booster for sure and I'm an hourglass figure which I thought before but since having this extra weight it's hard to tell I'm so excited to continue with weight loss glad you shared, it's made me feel so much more motivated that I already was........................ Thank you so much for sharing :-)

    I guessed 17.5% bigger than I really am :smile:

    Same...that's shocked me really. Didn't realise I saw myself that much bigger, a bit sad that I think that of myself too.

    I really hope I can stop doing that so when I'm at my goal I'm happy rather than still thinking I'm bigger!

    It says I guessed 7.5% off, but it also says I'm an hourglass, which is not true. Isn't an hourglass at 10+ inch difference between your bust/hips and waist? My bust and hips are the same but I do not have a small waist.
    Cool tool, but I don't believe it. :/

    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).

    No, you're right. I wanted to cry when I told me I was 7.5% larger than I thought I was. I'm 5'11'' and have very low self esteem but I KNOW I don't look like what it told me I look like.
