    I came out 7.5% smaller than I thought I was. Being a perfect pear surprised me as I used to be more hourglass. But then, since starting strength training my upper body has slimmed down a lot quicker than my bottom half so that's probably why.

    I got "you are exactly what you think you are...
    You guessed your own body size correctly, nice work!"

    Hey this is fun!!

    "you are 20% smaller than you think you are..."

    Well that's great :D but, strange, I always seem to think I look great and then when I see myself in a picture I can't believe how huge I am. Hmm...

    Hmm 7.5% smaller than I think I am. Interesting.

    That being said, it said I'm an hourglass. My measurements are 35/31/36, that's not hourglass, that's rectangle.

    7.5% smaller than I thought, but I couldn't find U.S. so I picked Cornwall.

    Same for me! And didn't see US either.

    No, it's a UK site. Just pick a place in the UK where you'd like to visit. This time, I chose Cardiff. :)

    5% smaller and a perfect hourglass. I do not think that word means what you think it means! :smiley:

    I'm a body smaller than I thought, and that really surprises me. OTOH, if this lady isn't an actress or model, that explains my perception, imho. Their waists can go in the same amount etc as in the picture, yet it's all on a teeny, narrow frame, lol! I'd like to know this lady's height, too.

    I'm like the 2nd one at 5'6" (and 132-135 lbs), 38-27.5-38, for any dieters wondering any stats that meet which body there according to the test.

    The interesting thing about this "fun" little test is this.

    We did it here in a group with some ladies.
    The ladies who were extreme and obese overweight ALL thought they were smaller, most of them even thought two sizes smaller.

    The Ladies who were overweight and close to the healthy range, and the ladies in the healthy range who all lost a lot of weight ALL thought they were bigger one or two sizes.

    Thought that was a pretty interesting out come in a group of 16 ladies.

    7.5 % smaller than I think I am.

    But I kind of guessed on the measurements. :p It's been awhile since I measured, I don't remember exactly what they were.

    Lol I'm 12.5% smaller than I think I am and the perfect pear shape (i already knew that I've always been a size bigger on the bottom).

    That's cheered me up a bit actually I was on a down day as my weight has been stuck for a little while, nothing new but still frustrating at times.

    27.5% smaller than I think I am. Oh dear that's quite a difference.

    Also the perfect pear which I knew.
