Okay everyone searches the net to find their "I really want to look like this person" I would like to see your photos of what you would love to look like but I would also like to see photos of what you think you will probably look like at goal weight!
Heres my "dream" body
Heres my "Im probably going to look like this at the end of my weight loss" body
No it is not because I am settling this is because I personally know my body type I have examined it plus my muscle mass and there is just no way I will look like photo number one unless I went under the knife but photo two is my body shape along with my muscle mass.. Both beautiful ladies
Share your photos!!

Well, what do you understand by "realistic"?
If I post a photo of a girl who is 5'9 tall, 24 inch waist and has C cup brest and I am 5'6 tall and with 26.4 waist I have A cup than yes, her body is a dream one and I can't get it. But if I post a photo of a flat-bellied, slim-thighed yoga practitioner who sitts in lotus pose than yes, it is the "realsitic body" I can obtain with hard work. I don't get why do you believe taht you wouldn't be able to work your way to the belly from teh first photo.0 -

I believe both are acheivable... The second pic may be a little easier to acheive but given hard work and dedication I believe the first pic is attainable0 -
I think the point is that it's about body shape; for example, I'm very pear shaped (guessing the OP is too, looking at the realistic body pic?), so to achieve that 'dream body look', I would need breast implants. Because to get my hips that slim I would be COMPLETELY flat-chested. Add to that that I've always had a good 12in difference between my waist and hips (and was shaped like that even as a child), I wouldn't be able to achieve those proportions.
Having said that, there's nothing to say I couldn't get the abs. It's just that I'm not prepared to lose the boobs in the process!

I dunno...I've read a few articles on what sorts of diets and workouts fitness models have to do to get ready for competitions and photo shoots, and (this is just me personally) it's just not worth it to me to go that extreme.
And I've already decided that breast surgery is not for me. So I gotta keep *some* fat. :laugh:
So that's what I think of when I see these pictures. Lovely for these ladies. Not my dream.
My dream came true this past spring when I was able to fit back into size 6 jeans and see my abs again! That's what I will once again be working toward after this baby.0 -
My picture would be the same for both:
I've never seen the point in trying to aim for something impossible, so I've found one that is totally my body shape, but I think is gorgeous. Yay!0 -

As someone very pear shape or hip heavy, I think for me the most attainable shape - well the one I am aiming for - is Kim Kardashian. I would never want to lose my curves and I think she really knows how to dress heavy hips and bigger boobs really well. I don't think I want to be supper ripped, but I do want a lot of tone and shape0

Looking good!! 0 -
This photo of Lisa Edelstein from House was my inspiration. Last summer I took a picture similarly dressed to compare, and was happy with my progression towards that goal. I took the third pic this morning, and I'm amazed at how much smaller my waist is now... and I weigh about 3-4 pounds more than I did last summer!

My dream and my goal are the same.
I have an hourglass shape and was similar body shape to Raquel Welch in my early twenties (10 years ago). I was a professional dancer then so was toned but not visibly muscular. I can get there again. I hope!0 -

Well I'll never be exactly like that because I have stretch marks *sob sob* and my boobs will probably look a bit deflated when I get to goal. But I'm still going to aim for it!0 -
I want to look like Edward Norton from American History X, I'm not going to post the picture here because it might offend some people and I don't want to get banned. Anyone that is interested can just google it.
The reality however is something like this

Well of is attainable but in a 3-4 years period. What people do not understand is that to look like that it take bulk and cut cycle, heavy heavy and patience.0 -
Where I'm at now:
Where I want to be:
I don't think I'm too far off, just need to get more lean to see the bottom abs. :happy:
I'm working on it!0 -

Googled it... Found a guy who looks similar (minus the offensive item)

this is 100% achievable for you, you have quite a similar body shape but she is just a little leaner than you with muscular development in the right places. (glutes and hams)
You will have to work on your tan a little though!
If you aren't already then you should be lifting 3-4 times per week and training like a fitness model.
