Whats your idea of the perfect body?

I'd be concerned if she is classed as over weight!!
I wish i had her body, then again it is airbrushed to the max!
Haha, yeah. I tried to find a decent non edited photo >.<
And her size (10US 14AU) is considered plus sized. o.o
Just to clarify, she is only plus size by modeling standards; as she is a plus size model. But obviously size 10 (US) is not "plus size". I remember seeing her on ANTM and wasn't she rocking a bathing suit in the first episode and she looked damn good in it too. I would not be upset at all if I had her figure. But that said, I don't think it is my ideal.
Hmmm, well I do have Scarlett Johansson on my vision board. I also think Jennifer Anistion has a beautiful body... Kate Beckinsale, Jessica Biel, J.Lo
Jessica Biel, for sure. She is healthy and athletic looking. Trim, but still curvy.0 -
no such thing!
I don't dream of or compare myself to models or celebrities-its just not realistic.
I think its better to strive for YOUR perfect body-the best that YOU can be!0 -
As for my "perfect" man's body (because one hasn't been posted yet)

I'm a photographer/retoucher and I'm happy to say my job of looking at slim, skinny models everyday doesn't actually affect me. I get to see all their imperfections, so I know not everybody is perfect.
Curves are the way forward, health and happiness

This is way too skiiny fo rmy ideal. the picture of the women without her shirt on and in the bathing suit.0

My ideal. She's my height, and I don't want a popping six pack, just a defined tummy, but her arms! would kill for those! I have always had big arms! even when I was swimming 5-6 days a week competitively.
This is the type of girl I go for. slim and toned but not ripped.
pretty sure she's underweight or nearing it. but everyone has their preferences.0 -
I said her BMI is BORDERLINE underweight/healthy. Its probably a BMI of 19. I used to lift heavy and eat like crazy, was jacked and maintain a BMI under 20... she has very defined ab definition so her BF% isn't that high.0

The first girl's picture has a NORMAL HEALTHY BMI. The 2 other pictures posted here are girls with BMIs that are UNDERWEIGHT. The last picture (that a guy posted) is BORDERLINE on the healthy/underweight spectrum.
Its sad to think that you ladies think that the ideal look is underweight
Its even sadder to think that healthy might be considered overweight.
Media has really messed up our ideas on body image.
How can you say that the Asian girl is underweight? Did you look at how wide those hips are and the muscle definition she has? I'll agree that the girls above are underweight. You can really see the ribs in one of them, but to say the asian is underweight is like saying "If a girl is fit and in amazing shape, she is underweight!" It's almost like saying "All girls should have a good layer of fat covering their entire body."
Agree, I don't think "your girl" was underweight. She looked very healthy. It looked like she had a little padding on the thighs. I liked that picture, as that is my body type... which I'm trying to get back to :happy:0 -
I think any hourglass figure within a healthy weight range looks great. Not too thin or fat, and not too muscular (doesn't look feminine imo but I know a lot of people that disagree with me).0

Maybe this answer is not to popular on MFP, but I like thick women, your stretch marks are not ugly, the flab you gain from child birth is not ugly, you are a REAL WOMAN, you are not airbrush, An as long as you are comfortable in your body , Im comfortable holding hands and walking proudly down the street with you0

I would love to have her body!
love it! I would also want this body! Her quads are amazing and lovely muscle tone in her stomach0 -
my goal0 -
In your opinion, anyway. It's just that I see some frail looking girls (on here and facebook) frantically dieting so they can look good in a bikini or whatever. I mean.. yeah being slim would be awesome.. but.. don't take it too far.. Maybe I just prefer girls to have some meat on their bones
(sleazy porno music)
I'd rather look like this. She looks healthy and attractive as hell. But I know others would say that she's slightly overweight.
SO.. Whats your idea of the perfect body?
I think she looks lovely confidence is one thing I definitely notice.Personally,I prefer slightly more of a toned look but whether you are softer/athletic/petite or whatever as Iong as you feel comfortable and are healthy then that's all that matters! 0 -
I wouldn't want to be all skeletal lol. I think that is considered "underweight" and could be unhealthy. I think the perfect body is aberage really. You're not too muscular, your not fat, and radiant skin is a must, which fruit can benefit in that case 0

Anyone skinnier that this is not as hot...to me anyway0 -
My idea of the perfect body is one that is free from disease, at a healthy weight, fit enough to maintain an active lifestyle and has a low risk for futuure disease. It doesn't matter the size, shape, or age.0

My ideal. She's my height, and I don't want a popping six pack, just a defined tummy, but her arms! would kill for those! I have always had big arms! even when I was swimming 5-6 days a week competitively.
This is the type of girl I go for. slim and toned but not ripped.
pretty sure she's underweight or nearing it. but everyone has their preferences.
This girl is not underweight or unhealthy. Not my ideal body, because I want more definition, but she looks really good and healthy.0 -
The perfect body is one that’s free from disease and allows me to do the things I want to do and get where I want to go.
As for shape and size, there’s no such thing as “perfect”. I appreciate the diversity in others and strive to be healthy for myself. The rest will take care of itself.
I’m 37 years old. It took me about 35 of those years to realize that my body isn’t just something I live in; it’s *me* too. I hated my body for most of those years and I treated it as such. Now I’m not exactly in love but I’m no longer in loathe. I eat well most of the time and do my best to stay active. I can bike or hike all day if I want and that’s the most important thing.0 -

Do you see the size of her thighs? There isn't that much definition either so she's not likely to weigh much despite being rather tall. Think what you want--I know enough about body comp to know when someone's weight is nearing the underweight category. She's probably...5'7, 5'8 and 120 pounds??
5'7 and 120 is a BMI of 18.8, that is pretty close to underweight.
5'8 and 120 is a BMI of 18.2 which IS underweight.
The angle make it's difficult though--if she's 5'5 I'd guess her weight closer to 115
5'5 and 115 = BMI of 19.1, which is much closer to being underweight than well within the "healthy" category. For many women anything under a BMI of 20 is actually too thin. Unless they are of Asian descent which is another discussion altogether.0 -
After watching the Olympics, I'd be more than happy with Jessica Ennis' body - but I'm never going to get anywhere near that without looking unhealthy (I'm guessing) - I'm not built to be that size!0

I guess I was thinking she was shorter, maybe 5'4" and would have put her at 125.
ETA: I say 125, because most people assume I weigh a lot less than I do and I'm sitting at 131 at 5'5". My profile picture is really me.0 -
