Whats your idea of the perfect body?

Why can’t a person have an opinion without being told that the media has screwed with their mind etc?

My idea of a perfect female body is thin. I personally don’t like how fat looks. I suppose there are some people out there that do. I am trying very hard to make it so that I do not have fat rolls on my body because I do not like how I look with fat.

I did the math and at 5’4 for me to be considered “underweight” I’d have to weigh 108 lbs or less. My ideal weight for myself would probably be 110-115. I’m striving for 120 because I’m realistic. I currently weigh about 150 and IMO, I look horrendous. Like seriously, I can’t even look in the mirror right now because I hate how I look.

Just because someone is thin or prefers the look of thin does not mean that they have some sort of problem. They just have a preference and there is nothing wrong with that.

I so agree! I'm kind of afraid to put on this thread what my ideal body would look like. I also like the thin look and as long as I'm not starving myself to get there, I don't see why that's a problem.

I don't think anyone has a "perfect" body, but some people are pretty close. I loved Heidi Montag's body before she got the ridiculous implants but after she went on her fitness kick (I think she is about 5'2, and was around 100-105 pounds). I think Marisa Miller has a great body but her boobs are too big and I can't really strive to look like her as she is way taller than me. Miranda Kerr has a great body, and I hate to say it, but I really like Miley Cyrus's body now. All these women are pretty thin, but not unhealthily so.

I think something along these lines - but even a little more meat! That kind of shape, I love though.


It is crazy what is classed as overweight these days...I mean, really crazy. Size 10 is most definitely not plus size!

there is something wrong with it when they take to an extreme and compromise their health.

Just because someone is thin does not mean they are unhealthy. How do you know they are compromising their health? As I said, I wouldn't even begin to be considered underweight until I got down to 108 lbs. I'm willing to guess some of the girls you think are compromising their health are around my same height and slightly heavier than 108.

doubtful. I'm quite certain that I'm knowledgeable enough about the subject to know when someone is compromising their health. Someone on MFP who is underweight is LIKELY compromising their health--odds are they aren't naturally that thin (there are exceptions but very few of them) and being underweight is causing a host of metabolic and hormonal problems that aren't present when someone is NATURALLY on the thinner side.

Scarlett Johansson. I love her curves.


I would have to agree! She looks amazing!

Thank you both! Geesh!

Whoa, she's totally hot.
Maybe a little slimmer than this is my goal.

Mine is in my pictures- I keep it for GW and GF inspiration lol And I have no problem with plus size- I think plus size/full figured is what Im aiming for- Size 14/16 girls look beautiful to me. I don't care what the rest of the world wants- and even at my current size I don't have any problem with men wanting me- What men think they want- and real life application is malleable lol.

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.

Her name is Jennifer Stano, and you do realise that she lives in Beverly hills, owns her own fashion company and is married to a rich Greek businessman?

She probably spends her entire day working out with an expensive personal trainer and has endless money to fund her image which is the only thing she has?

On top of that the image is from her promotional material for her company, so is staged and photo shopped to no end, you really think some american Beverly hills wife is going to release pictures of her that are not enhanced? I mean look at her arms, they are not even the same size, and compared to her sharp face they are blurry which is a give away of being photo shopped.

You can't aim for something like that, its not real, and its not sustainable to anyone but the 1%'s wives.

You know what I remember is that I'm tall (5'10) and kind of an Amazon. There was a point in my life when I was too thin by the standards of a doctor (when I was around 17 and suffered malnutrition due to circumstances outside my control.) and I was a size ten then. So, I'll never be a US size 5 or 6 and I'll never be super slim. But, that's okay. According to my doctor I need to have a weight between 175-180lbs and that will most likely be a US size 12-14 (I'm 226 right now and a size 18). So, it's subjective. I'll always be larger than a, well, smaller girl. Period. I remember that when I see some of the pictures posted above with super slim girls. That's not me. I'm not that build or height. SO long story short. My idea body is a healthy fit one. If that has you weighing 180 or 125 it doesn't matter to me, what matters is that you are healthy, fit and happy. Make sense?
