    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.

    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! :)

    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 :)

    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.

    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.

    perfect-body-23825-1309277363-4.jpg

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    No one is perfect :)

    They only way a majority of our celebrities can get their "perfect" bodies is through Photoshop.

    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.
