    It didnt work for me. Said I am 22.5% smaller than I think I am.


    Either I need to lift more or maybe I picked the wrong region? Im not really from Yorkshire.


    ETA: Oh and it said I look like a strawberry. Never ever have I heard anyone mention that a strawberry's appearance was appealing / attractive. They just taste good. Might as well have said I look like the Kool-Aid Man

    So I am thinking that I can relate to your strawberry shape and Kool-Aid man comment, then I clicked on your profile to see pictures, and saw YOU ARE A DUDE! :sad: :sad:
    Way to go. You just took away the boost I got!:grumble: :grumble:

    Go back to your own sandbox. :happy:

    I picked between 8 & 9. Their scale shows that I am actually between 3 & 4. That's nice...lol! :blushing:

    I am 2.5% smaller than what I selected, and according to the site, a perfect pear. "Your major curves are at your hips, while your waist and shoulders are a lot smaller." I'd like to know how they came to that conclusion when I didn't provide a shoulder measurement.

    I guessed somewhere between the last two bodies as I know I am not small and turns out I am 20% smaller than I think I am, being somewhere between the 5th and 6th bodies on the scale!

    Definitely made me feel way better about myself - especially when we just got pictures back last night of a couples photoshoot we did and I was feeling really, really down about them!

    Also, this may just be me but I found it hard to notice a lot of real differences between the models until you get to the last one and compare it to the first one.

    There is a HUGE difference between the last one and second last one but yet there's so many body shape possibilities that could be between those two . . . makes it difficult to pick one

    I guessed the 5th, actually between 1 & 2 - 17.5% smaller.

    And evidently not an apple, but a perfect rectangle.

    Thanks, OP!

    That was fun!
    10% smaller than what I think.
    Just hope to be a "smaller"than their "perfect" pear :)

    Hmmm, well depending on if I use my "chest" measurement or my "bust" measurement I am either 2.5% or 5% smaller than I thought. Also depending on if I use my chest or bust I am either a pear or an hourglass. I picked model 4 and am either model 3 or between model 3 and 4.

    Is anyone else a little thrown by them not including height?

    I'm 22.5% smaller than I think I am. I know that I have serious issues in seeing myself in a realistic way, but didn't realize it was that bad. I was like four models smaller than what I picked. This is great, I'm sharing it.

    I chose the 9th body (I was debating going more between the 8th and 9th though). It said I was between the 4th and 5th. I get what they're trying to do, but nonsense. I'm a size 14/16 (US). I don't look like that.

    Wow, what an eye opener! I was never very comfortable with my body even when it was small in high school, but it's nice to see the difference.

    I chose the 7th body and it put me between the 4th and 5th, at 12.5% smaller. Good to know :)

    you are 17.5% smaller than you think you are...thank you for putting this on here, I was feeling a little down on myself about my actualy progress but this made me feel a little better about it. I am my own worst critic and I need to work on that. I'm saving this link for later.

    I'm 12.5% smaller than I thought I was! I put myself as the sixth body from the left, but I was actually between third and fourth!

    I'm also apparently a 'perfect pear', when I thought I was an apple!

    A real eye-opener! Thanks for posting!

    The thing is that they all have waists and they are shorter, so it was a little hard to translate. I was pretty accurate though.

    Whaaaaaaaaaaaat

    I'm 17.5% smaller than I thought I was?? I thought I was almost all the way at the right. Apparently I'm slightly right of the middle. What lol

    It also said I'm the "perfect pear." Which isn't news to me, I know that.
