Guess my size
 
I can't believe I'm doing this and it might not work because I've posted my size lots of times on here, so if you know the answer then just post what you size you think I actually look like I am. But I'm just curious since my perception of my body changes from day to day (I think I look a bit overweight in these pics, but when I look at myself in the mirror I feel awesome, except for the spare tire!), I just want to know what others see. So be honest, I won't be offended.

I would venture a guess of a four or a six. But I'm really, really bad at guessing sizes!

MonteCristo 05-13-2010 12:06 PM

You look like a 4-6 to me also.

VeeDeValentine 05-13-2010 12:07 PM

:D ummm UK sizes~ I'd say maybe a 10? I'm not sure what that is US D:

edit:
Googled the conversion and I think it's the same as a US size 8? :)

sweetnlow28 05-13-2010 12:08 PM

I would say a size 6 too. You look great by the way!!

happeningf 05-13-2010 12:11 PM

definitely 4, maybe 6.

Tomato 05-13-2010 12:21 PM

I have NO clue, other than that you look HOT!
You seem to have narrow hips just like me (I seem to be constructed from surplus parts but at least this one part of my body is perfect) so I would guess size 2 jeans from Gap. I am wearing size 4 and I am a few inches taller than you, hence my estimate. (We all know sizes differ from one brand to another, that's why I mentioned Gap).

And did I say you look HOT? :-)

rockstar87 05-13-2010 12:44 PM

You look amazing! Congratulations on your loss.

Also, I think this is a really neat idea. :)

I'm gonna guess you're a 6 or 8 depending on the brand.

lauralyn 05-13-2010 12:48 PM

You look great! I would guess a size 8 but like some of the others mentioned, I am terrible at guessing peoples weights.

Petite Powerhouse 05-13-2010 12:49 PM

I would go with an 8 as well. And you do look great.

time2lose 05-13-2010 12:51 PM

I am not going to guess sizes because I only have experience with sizes 16 and above. :) However, I am going to say that you look like you are on the slim side of normal. You look absolutely fantastic!

Beach Patrol 05-13-2010 01:14 PM

Going by your height & ticker weight (5'5" and 159 lbs) I'd say 8-10. And that's MY goal, so can I just say :cheer: to you!?!?!?!??!

ninepaw 05-13-2010 01:44 PM

My guess would probably be a 6 or an 8? I have no idea, I don'y remember ever wearing anything near those sizes myself! ;) So my guess is just that, a guess.

sf40 05-13-2010 01:48 PM

You look great, no matter the size. Too many variables go into sizes, and they vary too much by brand. :) Congrats!

constance21 05-13-2010 01:49 PM

I would guess size 4! You look great!

birdtostone 05-13-2010 02:12 PM

With no experience in smaller sizes, I'd say 8?

ncuneo 05-13-2010 02:32 PM

Ok! Confidence booster over! I'm abosolutly shocked at these responses! I'm actually a very comfortable 12, but loose in many brands and I picked up a comfortable 10 in at Walmart just last weekend. Thanks all for responding! This is just what I needed.

ninepaw 05-13-2010 02:36 PM

Really!? Wow! You look fantastic! :D Fabulous job, really!

Smiling_Sara 05-13-2010 02:37 PM

um, size 8? I'm really bad at guessing also.

KayNicole 05-13-2010 02:41 PM

Wow you do not look like a 12 at all!!! I would have guessed 4-6 As well!

sunflowergirl68 05-13-2010 02:45 PM

That's actually what I was thinking.... a 12. I work at a bridal store and I can pretty much tell someone's size (well up until plus-size) when I look at them. You look great, and this is why I say sizes don't matter: you look smaller than we perceive to be a 12. I can't wait to be there again. Last time I was a 12 it was probably 4 years ago, and I'm between a 16 and a 14, and can probably wear a 12 in skirts. Work pants I'm a 14, jeans still a 16 even though I've lost 15 lbs so far. Oh well, it'll come!

greenfishgirl 05-13-2010 02:54 PM

I would say 10 on bottom and small or medium on top. I also factored in height and weight and body shape. I am the same height as you and very recently the same weight. Although I think I am a bit more top heavy than you are, but we are very similar in body shape too!

You look great!

Ooops, I just saw that you posted your size above - I didn't see that before I wrote this.

kittygrrll 05-13-2010 04:08 PM

Wow! I would've totally guessed a 6-8. You look awesome!!!

PeanutsMom704 05-13-2010 05:07 PM

I did know your size from seeing other recent posts but you seriously do not look like I picture a 12 or even a 10. I thought cameras were supposed "add" weight - in your case, I guess they subtracted! lol! You look fantastic!!!

Renwomin 05-13-2010 05:41 PM

I was going to say at your height 8 to 10. I also have never been as skinny as you are though! Fantastic work! I'm not trying to say you SHOULD stop losing if you still want to lose, but I personally would be very happy at your size!

mom4life 05-13-2010 05:58 PM

WOW! I was thinking an 8.....you look great!!

jendiet 05-13-2010 07:07 PM

a 12 was my thought too. But i can tell you have a decent frame for a tall person. You are very nicely built. I don't see a spare tire. at that weight I am an 8-10. AT 145 lbs I am a definite 8.

wannabesomebody 05-14-2010 06:37 AM

6/8 though I've never been there so I don't know. a 12 you sure? Try a different store :P You are tiny

wannabesomebody 05-14-2010 06:38 AM

incidentally my hubby guessed an 8 too O.o I'm shocked he guessed same as me.

Asherdoodles87 05-14-2010 08:03 AM

I was going to say 10 just because my sister is about your height. When she was a 10 she looked your size. You are super small, though. Good job!

BecomingMaggie 05-14-2010 08:51 AM

I realize the game is over...but I just wanted to say that your pic gives me hope. You started out about 40 lbs heavier than I did and your arms look great!

ubergirl 05-14-2010 08:57 AM

I agree that you look really slim, and I think those 12s fit pretty loose.

Congratulations!

Gold32 05-14-2010 09:54 AM

Also want to add my congrats! And you look skinnier than my mom, and she's a 10. Also, I remember what I looked like at 12 and you look way better!

saef 05-14-2010 10:14 AM

I was going to guess a 10, with a medium on top, because you've still got boobs -- in the best way -- and smalls are generally made for the slightly flatter-chested. I say this, not because I'm good at this, like others on the thread, but because I think you look like me, and also, you're just a bit taller, so I'm figuring we'd be sharing clothes, and those are my current sizes.

Tuca125 05-14-2010 10:37 AM

My guess was 6 or 8 , WOW you realy look good.

KforKitty 05-14-2010 11:02 AM

With similar stats to you I would have also said a 10 (like I am). I'm a little smaller on top with a bit more junk in the trunk but I would say very similar size.

And yes many people would guess I weigh 20lbs less than I do.

ncuneo 05-14-2010 02:02 PM

Thank you, thank you everyone! This was really a MAJOR confidence booster. It also made me realize that my self image is not that bad. Most days I feel great and I feel like maybe my brain has finally caught up with my weight loss and I am really starting to feel like me again and less like the *fat* girl. Now if could just feel that good naked :o. I'm not sure what my goal is yet (at least another 10lbs but probably no more than 25lbs all from my middle:)), but I feeling more confident now that I'll now when I get there.

I am very very pleased with my arms. But I think I have to credit it to having a toddler and carrying him around everywhere and spending a lot of time jogging behind a jogging stroller, so be sure to incorporate weights into your routine. I'm not as please with my upper this or lower abdomine, so I'm just now starting to lift and looking forward to what kinds of changes thta is going to bring me.

Thanks again everyone! We CAN/WILL do this!

asharksrevenge 05-15-2010 03:24 AM

This is an awesome thread! When I read the thread title, I was a little afraid. Guessing sizes? What if we all guess way too high? I'd rather err on the side of caution and guess lower than I thought. But when I saw your pictures, I was so astounded! I know the camera is supposed to add weight, but you look fantastic! I was going to guess a 6-8, but really I have no idea how single-digit sizes run. My sister is 132 lbs. and 5'6" and wears a 4, so I went with that. Great job!
