    I think I'm probably 15 16 or 12 (this is actually quite hard!) Am I right ?

    I'd love to be 5 or 11 !!

    I don't see 16 at all. I see 3/11 with a bit of 8, tbh. Very shapely with sort of the lower body of 8.

    <<--- That's me now. I think I look most like a 5; I'd like to be more like a 7.

    I'd say I was an 18. It'd be nice if I was a 5. But I think instead I'll just not worry about what number I am, so long as I can do all the things I want to do.

    best answer. lol.

    I think 11?

    dgLHM5k_FnljbL1RvcQLAlZmcgY0wSBpTpiBF30STLs=s192-p-no

    I'd like to be 5.

    You are hard to place but I think you are def. too thin for 11!

    I'm definitely #18, and it's a huge improvement. Lots of people would still call me fat by their standards. I now refer to myself as chubby, so, I don't even mind the label.

    I'd like to be 11 :) Or even 15! Pudgy ain't so bad :)

    Pic on the left was about a month ago, pic on the right was 2 weeks ago, pic in the middle was 2 days ago.
    Edit because my underwear are cutting in to my hip fat in the last picture, that's why I look lumpy :P Yes, I went to the gym like that. No, I didn't care.

    I see myself as 15 but my legs and arms as 6. Most of my fat is on my stomach - none on my legs except for my inner thighs.

    ETA: Don't mind - I actually like most of the body shapes up there even the thin one. I would prefer not to be 1 or anything upwards from 18 but I doubt that either of those will be an issue. Ideally I just want a flat stomach and minimal body fat - so perhaps a less defined 5 - she looks great but not sustainable for my lifestyle.

    I feel like a slightly smaller rectangle (#16).

    I used to look like #2 in high school, but without the boobs (definitely don't think I was as skinny as #1, but who knows). I kind of want to go back to that...

    EDIT: does that work now?

    I find it weird that 6 out of the 13 have the word "Thick" in the definition... a word that I personally despise. Reminds me of the guy that called me "Meaty." Like... cat food or something LOL

    Prob a bit like a 14? Its kinda hard cause I'm overly thin around my ribs but bigger on my lower half- but I'd say average overall then.

    I would like to be somewhere between a 5-6.

    I can't see your lower half so I'm going with 2.
    Your right- not the best pic for this- this one is better:

    J34lbw2.png?1

    But I'll take the compliment :-)

    10. Maybe 4. Hard to tell actual 'thickness' from side shot

    I think I'm 14. Would like to be 5.
    Ok... maybe 8. :-)

    I'd say you're already a 5.

    You are not big enough to be an 8.

    Definitely agree! You've got beautiful shape. I think you're a 5

    Thank you!
    I meant I'd like to be an 8. :-)

    How can I tell from the side? Show us the front :P.

    So is my fist assessment (14) ringing true-er or am I still off?

    You need to quit working out and make friends with donuts for an 8.

    so I don't have any pics of me now that you can see a body. I have posted a pic of me at 32 or 33 at around 185 or 190. I'm the one with my hand to my ear and the bikini top. Although I didn't really try, I had/have the ingredients for decent mid-section. I say now, I'm a 19 (what was that, like thick-chubby?) I aspire to a #5 because I THINK I have the close enough shape type (no tits though) to be athletic. I have a kinda straight waist line. I could assume that if I had kept it up, I'd have a "P!nk" body type. Small on top, straight waist, longer legs though.

    Although you can't see it, I have a biggish round butt. I had good legs too.

    Shoot, it didn't work. go to my profile.

    I'll play. I think I'm a cross between 10 and 16 but if I can only choose one, I'd chose 10. Lol, I'm a 10. :wink:

    4b63d99e-b9cc-4a49-86bf-5982ecd77e98_zpsf4dc254e.jpg

    I would fine with 5 6 or 7.

    You're between a 3 and 5. More muscle and you'll be a 5.

    You should switch your profile pic, you're much hotter in this one.

    I think that this is a great post. It shows how women often have a skewed perception of themselves and is helping some of them realize that. While you cannot directly compare yourself to another, I feel that it is still useful as a gauge for where you are and where you would like to be headed.

    From what I can see, I'd say 10 is pretty accurate. Certainly with the second part of that label :flowerforyou:

    You're thinner than a 12 but yeah I agree, you're close.

    Apparently it means big thighs?
