Who has your ideal body type?

cbevan1229 · August 2012

A post on a different forum made me think of this. I'd like to find a picture of someone who has what I would consider to be my "ideal" body to look at as a motivator. I want it to be realistic - I know I can't make myself 5'10", thin, and busty all at the same time. But I'm a 5'6" apple shape with pretty average curves (as far as I remember - I haven't seen myself thin in 15 years.) I can't think of anyone off of the top of my head who would fit.

Do you have an ideal in mind?

My ideal is on my tikker... Marilyn Monroe! Curvy, sexy, thin & beautiful.

She has my body type so I feel like it's something I can achieve.

I would say Lea Michelle. I think she has a nice body - toned and a little bit athletic (but still feminine.) Nice legs, nice arms, nice posture.

At my best, I was somewhat toned and had a similar body shape (we are close to the same height as well). Of course, not as toned. It's going to take alot of work and time for me to get back to that place. But, that is what I would say is my celebrity "ideal" body.

But, I would also say Scarlett Johansson.

I was going to say Marilyn Monroe, too.
But I also think maybe Jennifer Lopez. She has big hips and a big butt. Although I am not of ethnic decent, I have both of those features as well.... of course, maybe I won't have the booty when I get to goal, but I will certainly have the hips because they run in the family! :laugh:

So many actresses are UP and DOWN just like normal people which makes it hard.
There was a time when Drew Barrymore was curvy, but fit (now she's looking a little too thin). I loved her when she had a little more meat on her bones. She was my hero. BEAUTIFUL and REAL and CONFIDENT and SEXY.

I mostly liked myself when I was in shape... I just want that back. It took a long time to appreciate what I have and like it.

This is exactly how I feel

I used to idealize Monroe's figure too until I read this:

I guess 1950/60's sizes were much different than our sizes now. Total bummer!!!!!

I'm a big fan of Kirstie Alley (as of 2012) - she's has a lovely, average-sized woman's figure!!!!

I've never been in shape properly enough to appreciate my own body shape, so this is where I'm heading. I'm a straight up and down type girl, and can't think of anyone with my ideal body. Pink, maybe?

I did Goodwood Revival for a couple of years, and if you throw yourself into it it means dressing up in period clothing, take your pick from 30's to 70's! I like the 50's and so looked for outfits from that period, and you're spot on. Sizing is vastly different now to what it was then!

Augh, that is disappointing!! >=(

At least she LOOKS like something I could achieve, but only in her "heavy" pics. =P

april1lowe · August 2012

Mine is Salma Hayek. I am only 5'2" and have always had hips, thighs and bust. She is also 5'2" and curvy as we all know. She weighs 115 and looks stunning in my opinion so I kind of look at that for maybe a goal but my weight has been in hover mode for months now

so frustrating. I'm still trying to hit that 130 goal!

Me too! I really like her figure. I'm also 5'2" and I've always had hips and bust as well. I just need to lose a bit of love handles and tone up.

I often watch this video of her these days for inspiration:

We can do it! Best of luck to us. :drinker:

Every since I was a teenager, Christina Aguilera (in her former days) always had the body I aspired for. I realize that she is a bit on the petite side, but I always thought she was so beautiful and wanted to look like her.
I know this will sound a bit bad but I'm not a fan of the way she looks now, though I do ADMIRE that she embraces her larger frame and loves her body.

Ronda Rousey, the female ufc champion. 5'6 and 135lbs of sexiness!

ChrissyC1985 · March 2013

Kate Beckinsale and Milla Jojovich ( particualrly in resident evil film roles). I know that both of these ladies are a few inches taller than me, however when i am fitter, their body images are not unreasonable. they're both athletic too which i really aspire to.
