    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.

    I picked 3. Turns out I'm actually 2. Who would have known? Not me. Also said I have an athletic shape. Cool.

    5% smaller than I thought.

    I'm completely vain- I was at least a size bigger than I thought I was... I took this like 6-8 months ago- so I'm sure it hasn't changed much.

    I have no shame- and I don't care that I think I'm athletic and fit when i might be a little more pudgie than that.

    My 300 pound dead lift doesn't care either.

    You look athletic and fit to me!

    To me, too.

    I must have a good eye for this ( i'm almost legally blind).
    I'm only 2.5% smaller than i hink.
    Interesting that it doesn't take into account height which would affect the overal shape.
    I wonder if there is a male version?

    Thoughh it recommends strapless tops which would not work with G chest i h ave ....

    I'm 12.5% smaller than I thought, so 2.5 models down.

    They've also said I'm a perfect hour glass, unfortunately it's coated in a layer of fat so to me it' looks less obvious!

    Great confidence boost though, thanks for the link!

    Very interesting I am 5% smaller than I thought Although it has me as a pear and I'm really an apple my hips are wider bc I have a lower tummy overhang. I did like that I'm getting much better at seeing myself as I am. If I had taken this a year ago I had a very low option of myself.
    Thanks for sharing.

    I'm 7.5% smaller than I think! Quite chuffed about that :) I guessed the third body but I'm halfway between the first and second.
    ^^^ This is me as well.

    I got 27.5% smaller than I think I am. I guessed the 8th body, but it says I'm actually in between 2nd and 3rd. It's sad how poorly we perceive ourselves.

    I actually guessed correctly. Interesting. I nearly chose a different model, but didn't because of the legs.
