    12.5% smaller than what my messed up mind tells me. And I'm the perfect pear (LMAO)... So true, but not what I would like.... We always want what we don't have...

    Very interested site!

    hourglass & 2.5% smaller than what I thought I was. Dot should have stayed at far left, but I moved it to the first picture...I didn't know start point was an option. So not too bad

    Same here. I know I'm smaller than the first body but thought I had to pick at least one.

    However, did find out that I'm a pear. Wasn't sure if I was pear or hourglass until now.

    22.5% smaller - I needed that - I've been having a "I'm so fat" month

    I am, apparently 5% larger. I picked the first and am between first and second. Apparently I'm a pear but I don't think anyone would ever mistake me for pear shaped. I'd say hour glass based on the width of my shoulders or licorice whip if they had that. But they don't.

    Now I want licorice.

    I've always had a very confident opinion of my own body so I found that a bit meh too.

    Lol picked 6, ended up with in between 1 and 2. I'm a tad skeptical about it. I have very thick legs - I'm 4'9" I carry most of my weight in my mid section/thighs.

    Well, that gave me a boost - I'm 22.5% smaller than I thought. Thanks OP

    So was I, and that really surprised me. My first instinct was that body, but I looked again at the legs and sized it way up.

    I was 2.5 % smaller than I thought I was (so I was close), I ended up in-between 2 models.

    It also said I had the perfect hourglass figure (I really don't think so but I am fine with myself as I am, I just want less of me).

  • Posts: 229 Member
    I was 10% smaller and 2 models in difference!

    It's been a horrendous week of on/off cheat meals so this has given me the kick up the bum that I need!

    Thanks OP, very interesting :)

    17.5% smaller than I think I am, and I lied about my location because I'm not in the UK (though I'm sure that doesn't matter).

    HOWEVER

    I think it's wrong. I think I'm actually larger than I think I am. I've lost a lot of weight and I my clothes are huge and I feel bones and muscle in places I hadn't felt them for a long time, so I have this ridiculous delusion thing going on and I imagine that I look like a tall, skinny model. I "feel" skinny compared to how I've been for the last 20 years.

    But then, I catch a glimpse of my reflection in the mirror or on a glass pane walking down the street and my heart sinks because I'm still fat and short and I think I suddenly look a lot older with 72 lbs of fat gone.

    *sigh*

    I picked number 2 and came out 2.5% smaller, which is realistic I think.


    This is what it said about me

    YOU ARE THE PERFECT HOURGLASS
    Hourglass: A smaller mid-section with a fuller bust and wider hips. The famous hourglass figure is all about curves, so go for outfits that really show off your shape. Scooped necklines and V-necks will frame your shoulders and bust beautifully, while a belt at the waist creates a great central focal point between your shoulders and hips. Think 1950s glamour, A-line skirts and fitted tops to create a stunning outfit for any occasion. If you're looking for something more casual, a pair of straight-legged jeans is a great option to maintain the definition around your hips and legs.
    SHOW OFF YOUR FAVOURITE BODY PART
    Shoulders: The best way to show off those fantastic shoulders is to aim for a strapless dress, or a halter-neck if you prefer. If you're dressing down, go for camisoles for a pretty and delicate look, or aim for a wide neckline to frame your collar and shoulder shape.

    I estimated myself as the second to last figure and it says I match the third one.
    I've seen pictures of myself. I look nothing like the third lady. Like others have said, I wish it included height. At 5'4 things look different I guess.

    Not only am I 20% smaller than I think I am, based on my measurements I'm the smallest figure. I need to start wearing less clothing and stop hiding from the camera.

    I'm 25% smaller then I actually see myself. I love this website! My 17 year old son filled it out just for fun and he was even 15% smaller then what he thought he was.
