You are smaller than you think you are

Yeah, I noticed that they don't have a "full" range of sizes, I was 17.5% off but I didn't think about the fact that they don't take into account your height and it said I was a pear when I'm an hourglass

Apparently I'm 20% smaller than I think I look...hummm..not convinced still

@irishscarlet- you are obviously the number one picture. If you chose anything higher, you definitely have a distorted body image. I dont think I have ever been your size. Maybe when I was 12, but I didn't have any curves. You look amazing.

I just did that. this is awesome

I was so sure I had a realistic view of my body. I guessed between the third and fourth, and I put my last measurements which were from about 15 pounds heavier. My result was between the second and third. That makes me more confident that I don't need to lose the 30 pounds that the 'numbers' say I should!

I've done this one before (back in my just-pre-MFP days) and I was quite a bit smaller than I thought I was (about two or three models). I'm far more realistic now, and also more aware of myself, and this time I was just one size down, and 2.5% smaller - so I guess I have a good idea of what's what and where - I am sooooo much more confident than I was 500 days ago when I started here. In fact, caught sight of myself in a plate glass window, full-length, today and kind of admired myself :blushing: - I was jacketless and, once upon a time, would never DREAM of being without, whatever the weather, as a cover-up. And today I'm wearing quite a fitted top and not-quite-wiggle skirt.

So I guess I'm doing okay :blushing: :blushing: . Thanks MFP :flowerforyou:

I picked 6, but came out between 3 and 4. Wow. Dont think that is completely accurate, but ok. Must be my smaller hip size, because my stomach is def closer to number 6.

I am also the perfect strawberry.. Haven't heard that fruit title before. Usually called the inverted Triangle. I call it Sponge Bob.:laugh:

So for those who got number one- what are your waist and hip measurements?

I want to be bigger than I think I am! Grow muscles, grow!!!!!!

YOU SHOULD ADMIRE YOURSELF! Way to go girl :drinker:

So out of curiosity, I tried it with entering the 'perfect' measurements of 36 24 36, and it gave me to the left of the first body. So yeah, it is a bit off I think, but good for a boost this morning.
Or else it just doesn't work if you really aren't from the UK.

I picked exactly the right spot on the chart. I attribute this to my growing self-confidence and self love.

Great tool Love that all women are able to see what they actually compare to instead of distorting what they see in the mirror.

22% smaller. That's awesome! It's a nice little confidence boost today!

This was a bit strange. I'm not a tiny person by any means (5'7", 130 lbs), but I selected the first model. I am actually 5% smaller than her. There are lots of people smaller than me, so I would think they'd have a few smaller models.

Also, it says I'm a perfect hourglass, which I'm not. Yes, my waist is smaller than my hips, but not by a whole heck of a lot.

Interesting though...

I'm 7.5% LARGER than I think I am...well...that wasn't such a great confidence boost. :ohwell:

I guess I'm more realistic. I'm only 2.5% smaller than I think I am. Which is actually a bummer. I was hoping to be pleasantly surprised.

Same for me. And they say I'm a pear, but I'm definitely an apple. All my weight is in my tummy.

15% smaller and "the perfect hourglass" (woo perfect anything!). I think I picked the body that has been most typical for me as an adult. When I was drastically overweight, I likely would have chosen the same body!

Thanks for the mood boost OP! :flowerforyou:
