Marilyn Monroe = the perfect body in my opinion. I think (not positive) she was a size 14?0

Fitting back into my skinny jeans... then, as far as I am concerned, my body would be perfect
In my opinion anyways... 0 -
The perfect body starts with the perfect person inside.

When I cross the finish line at the Tough Mudder in September I will know that I have put the work in to have my perfect body. I will know that I have a body that has the endurance to run 10 - 12 miles, be pushed harder than I ever though possible, strong enough to heft it's own weight. It will be my perfect body, because it will allow me to accomplish my goals. I've decided that I'm no longer concerned with as concerned with form (althought I do love my muscles), as I am with function.0

absolutely beautiful!0 -
My idea of a perfect body is definitely a woman "with meat on her bones." Curves are so sexy and I'm actually worried about getting too small and not having any anymore. They make me feel womanly.0

I would rather read 50 Time of the Month threads than one more "perfect body" thread.0

I believe so, I loved her body too!Marilyn Monroe = the perfect body in my opinion. I think (not positive) she was a size 14?0 -
Christina Hendricks? Idk, I try to be realistic and not pick something that is totally not my body type.0

Where is your TM? I'm doing the one in October in Carolinas. You'll have to give me some advice after September! We have the new obstacle where you crawl in ice water and get shocked by hanging wires, I'm nervous about that one!0 -
Ditto to that whole thing..lol. Except my waist is bigger, I'm sure...But I'd add Ashanti to the list as weel, because she has thick thighs too.Here are a couple of mine and I will explain why:
Yes, I know it's cliché to put Kim Kardashian, and I don't love the girl, but I have a similar body type to her. I don't have the massive butt (although mine is real lol). However, I am short and have an hourglass figure (My bust and hips measure about the same and my waist is slimmer). Also, my chest is large like hers as well, so that's why I picked her! lol.
Love Christina Milian. A little slimmer than a tend to like, but also really short like me and also she has thick thighs like I have and the rest of the women in my family have. However, naturally, her chest is a lot smaller and her shoulders are not as broad as mine.
This is me too. I have a big butt and chest and a tiny waist. I've been classified as '"thick" so Kim's body shape is very similar to me. But I'd prefer keeping my own brain lol0 -
Beyonce! She's beautiful, lean, tone, and thick at the same time!0

Gonna have to say my own (although with more toning). Hey, ive worked hard, and there's no point dreaming of a body I'll never be able to have... so why not idealize the one Ive got

I'd like to be at 20% body fat. That's my perfect body . 0

She actually said that she thought she was healthy and attractive, but others (whose views may at times be swayed by the media) may think that she's slightly overweight, probably because she isn't a size 2 or 4.Except not. You've intentionally used a word you know is derogatory--I think you're the one attempting to start an argument by being blatantly rude and insensitive.
Omg, the poster herself said she was "slightly overweight" I think chunkers is a little nicer than overweight. Are we really debating this?
Well, mine's not swayed by the media. I gave an opinion which was asked. That is all. Cheerio!0 -
Oh wow, she is beautiful. I would LOVE to be built like her

Love her look:

I agree with elisa123gal. you hit the nail on the head. I too just want to be the best and healthiest I can be. I just want the fat off but I don't want to be sickly thin either I just want to be a healthier me. My goal is to live long enough to watch my grandchildren graduate from high school, college, get married and have children of their own but more importantly live life outside of a hospital, wheelchair or walker. there is no one body shape or style for every woman and that's what makes you unique and beautiful in your own right. nothing more nothing less ;-)0

absolutely beautiful!
I think I have a similar shape/body to this woman but she is a lot more toned. We have matching belly freckles too 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 you
awwwww super sweet :flowerforyou:0 -
LOVE IT
Oh wow, she is beautiful. I would LOVE to be built like her
Actually, I am built just like her. I may actually end up with this body by the time I'm done :bigsmile:0 -
I think she looks perfect. I would love to look like that.

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.
False. The two pictures posted are on the low end of a very healthy and fit body fat percentage. Show bf% must be athletic and not essential, due to the fact that she does not have a defined 6 pack but is showing I would put her in the bikini group, not the fitness group, so probably around 16% (but I'm no expert). The girl originally posted is also in a healthy bf% range, probably about average.
I do agree with you that Media has really messed up our ideas on body image.0 -
There are many bodies I *wish* I could have but knowing my body shape, it's easy to guess what I *will* look like when I approach my goal weight. I'll have to say lena Dunham is a role model for me in that.. small bust, pear shaped. It doesn't hurt that I'm obsessed with her show, Girls.

I clearly have o idea how to post here correctly.0

For me, the perfect body that anyone can have is one that shows consistent work. If an individual will take the time to consistently workout and eat properly to allow them to lose or maintain what they have worked for is perfect to me. Everyone is at a different stage in their life and their bodies are still changing so to pinpoint the exact perfect body is nearly impossible.
Realistically the perfect body ON ME, is a flatter stomach (not a six pack but one that does not go over my belt), some muscle mass and a little definition.
Yet, I also know that I have come a long ways after a year of consistent work and I am happy with where I am now compared to then yet shooting to keep getting healthier every day by trying to learn new things that I can implement into my life without making drastic changes.0 -
I prefer Coco Austin's body.0
-
That's my ideal, I wish I could get back to it0 -
A nice toned body that would be a medium dress.0
-
This may not be everyone's preferred aesthetic, but it is most definitely mine.
