Body like Pink..

I've recently tried to upgrade my mental body image by looking at other bodies that resembles mine - and done my best to be realistic about it. What I've found is that my body is quite alike Pink's - a little more body fat but muscular and unfortunately I've realised I'll never get the tiny waist I'd like to have, or the curvy hips... Even when I skip all ab exercise all together which I do, my rib cage is too broad to have a small waist I guess, about the hips I could do more broad squats I guess. I don't know Pink's measures so I can't compare - this is only based on the visual image.

I don't think she's got a masculine body just because she's muscular! Ah well I thought - but I've never felt feminine in anything, and when I found this post: http://seriouslyomg.com/?p=12997 and I wondered... what do you all think about shapes like hers?

    I like her body. For myself, I'd rather have more of a defined waist, (but I don't think everyone should want what I want) and I don't think she looks manly or her muscles are too much in any way whatsoever. She's obviously fit, and that's great IMO.

    Well I think she is beautiful, since seeing her in one of her early music videos I've always envied her figure & would love to look like that. I'm not muscular at all and have ample chest & hips - but would give it up in an instant to look more toned and less spongy. Pink is amazingly strong & fit & I admire her for that but in no way would I say she looks masculine. :happy:

    Pink is my thinspiration! You should be insanely proud to have a body like hers.

    She portrays a tomboy image which makes her look masculine but it's not her body that does it, it's her attitude!

    I've always been a tomboy; karate used to be my thing, and i like being strong. Of course I don't care what EVERYbody say but I really do need some help adjusting myself to my "new" me. The 215 lb version is upgraded and I'm working towards a 135 version, I don't see it as negative to be fit.

    I'm surrounded by girlie girls though, and that's not really easy when it comes to body issues. They are almost scared of having muscle; "You've got more muscle than my husband" is one comment LOL. Might be true but that says a lot more about him than it does about me I guess.

    Indeed it does! lol
    Nothing wrong with skinny lads, but absolutely nothing wrong with strong women!! I'm never gonna be a size 0 or even close because of my frame but that doesn't mean we can't look and feel great! :-)

    She is my body goal...someday.

    She is strong, fit, flexible, and athletic.

    Exactly, if they're that bothered by you having more muscle than him, why should it be you that changes? lol

    This is what bugs me about men saying "she has more muscle than me!" as a bad thing. I've never heard it in RL, but online I've seen it. If skinny guys want to be skinny I have no issue with that, they can do what they please, as I am doing. Yet, if it bothers them that much to have a girl be more muscular than them then maybe they should do something about it! After all, it's not going to be the hardest thing in the world for a man to catch up with a woman in terms of muscle, especially if he works hard.

    Pink body is awesome
    I love her muscle definition
    Sure, if she had more boobs and more hips she would be more "femenine" but she is working with what she gots and doing great job

    I'm aiming for a more fit body; get rid of those 5-6% body fat I'd like to lose and that'll be it. I won't be unhappy with it; it'll be what I've dreamt of for years. Maybe some day I'll see myself as I really am - or close to it. But it's difficult!

    Who does that, really?

    I think she's gorgeous, and her back view is fantastic, love that butt...I will also never be curvy, there is only a little difference between my hips and waist...So I also try to get muscles, that add to give ma an illusion of shape...

    But the article on the other hand was awful...No wonder so many women end up with such a body complex....to be described as "the body of man but with t!ts and no pen!s" Please...jealous much????

    I think muscle is sexy, and thus women with muscle is sexy!

    Yeah. That's what I want to do. Just getting more perspective :smile:
    I'm 40, and getting more and more pleased with what I've accomplished. Except from a few setbacks now and then, I'm better at it now than a few years ago.

    It is good to have realistic goals for your body. I'm lucky in that I have an hourglass figure and a lot of women would kill for that, but at the same time, when I had an eating disorder and weighed 103 lbs, I had a C cup and wore a size 4 jeans. I will never be one of those petit girls and I know it. Moreso than a number, I'd like to be a size 6/8 (or at least be able to wear skinny jeans and rock them!) I'd also like a C-Cup but I doubt that will ever happen naturally. I just want to be a happier, healthier, more confident version of myself :)

    What I've worked the most to overcome is the "general view" of what's good looking and what's not. All in all it's a personal opinion no matter what any "rule" or "formula" might say. I've always felt like a stocky log, un-feminine, but luckily with big boobs that caught the eye of guys (they're gone now though...) - this quite negative self image still sticks. Even after losing almost 60 lbs I don't see myself as slim/fit/good looking that I might be but I'm working on it.

    Maybe I'll get the guts to dye my hair blonde and wear heels and a sexy dress some time :laugh:

    Oh neat, that's kind of my shape. I dunno, I think it's all right :)

    A lot of it's styling. That outfit's horrible on her. High necklines that taper inwards at the shoulders don't show her best features, unlike v-necks, one-shoulder or strapless tops.

    Same body, different outfits:

    It's Pink's tomboy hair too. If it were longer, the total effect would read as more 'feminine'. The singer from No Doubt has a similar shape, just shorter, with maybe a bit less body fat, and no one accuses her of having a penis:

    Pink looks great, but some of the fitness gals on this site have it all over her and I'm sure they have worked every bit as hard to get the great bodies they have.

    Oh thank goodness!! Finally a thread about working with what you've got to build your best body! It is so depressing to constantly read threads from women trying to look for ways to eliminate a body feature that could be an asset, if only they saw it that way... It's is just such a self-hating thing, that so many of us are guilty of and it can take a long time to retrain your mind.

    Pink is freaking HOT BTW!

    Definitely often a styling issue, I can clearly see that! She's got some outfits that are too revealing to flatter her shape. I've adopted wrap tops and dresses, they are great, along with center-focused tops that don't emphasize my lack of waist line.
    But she's got great arms and legs; she looks amazing in heels.

    I've got a goal here; plan to look my best and choose my clothes by design - even if that means that I'll have to spend hours just to find a top.

    And you're right; Gwen Stefani is basically the same shape just a bit less muscle and fat. I'll look up pictures of these to gorgeous women to see what flatters them - maybe I'll be that lucky too!

    Vanessa Hudgens is my inspiration!!

    Rather than looking at tall models, whose body type I will NEVER have, I look to Vanessa.

    She's short with muscle and definition - very very similar to me!

    She is always seen in her gym gear. She is healthy and confident and workout all the timeee.

    She had to gain weight for a movie, but I love how even after that she went to the beach in a bikini. As she said.. "I love my body" and "you gotta work with what you have"
    Ahh I LOVE HER SO MUCH! She inspired me to love myself and work on improving myself the healthy way :)

    Also, I read she does P90X paired with an hour of cardio six days a week. Looks like this is my year to start p90x!
