I would really love to have the bodies of these girls. especially the girl in the white sports bra.

Sadly I don't know if this attainable for me or not. I can't ever imagine myself with that type of body.

  • I'd love to have a body like kate moennig.
  • I'd just like to have a body without flabby thighs and saddlebags.....

    Yes, I do. The body type I'm after is smaller. Preferably with a lot less tummy.

    Have to have bone structure to support that particular frame objective. But a great figure is an attainable goal for structurally-sound 24-yr old women. Be the best you can be.

    Yes, I'd like to be lean and have a flat belly with at least a hint of abs.

    Muscular but not ripped, visible abs, some veins in my arms, wanna keep my broad shoulders...

    I'm 6'2". As far as numbers, my goals are 210 pounds, 8-10% bodyfat.

    It's almost impossible to change your overall body type. Of course, you can make yourself a smaller or larger version of whatever shape you already are -- but you are basically limited to work within that shape. There are some exceptions to this, but for most people it's true. Aim to be the best version of yourself that you can be. You will never look like that girl in the white sports bra because you are a completely different person.

    I would love to keep my curvy figure, just be toned and healthier. I like my thick legs and bottom. =)

    I'm an apple shape. I carry almost all of my weight on my belly, Does that mean I will never have a flat stomach if I am not under weight?
    I keep hearing things like this and it is very discouraging.

    I just want to get rid of the man boobs. Six pack abs would be nice. It'd be the first time in my life that I'd have them.

    Mine, but more toned and with less jiggle than I have now. I'm working on that. I try my best not to compare myself to other and instead work with what I've got. If I base my goals around that kind of philosophy they seem to be much more achievable. And an apple shape is a beautiful shape. Be proud of it!

    This. Be the best you. You can't obtain a body type. You already have your body type.

    Interesting music video.

    Thanks for sharing!

    Nah. I like my body type just fine, I just want it a bit smaller in the midsection ;)

    Honestly, I have been overweight for so long, I can't even envision a body type I want. So, I'm just aiming for toned, healthy, and strong. I've never had the type of body you linked and I'm quite positive that if I were that thin, I'd look sickly. Not everyone does, though.

    I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not.
    It's not a music video. It's just a couple of girls doing a dance cover of this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wq7ftOZBy0E

    :D:tongue:

    Um... it might be obtainable, but I think you might be better off focusing on you, and what you want for you, then on how others look.

    I have clothes and pictures of how I was before the second kid, and I was thin/fit, and it's a tough goal to reach, but it's all me. I think looking outside for a goal, and an image for who you want to be, is probably a set up for disappointment.

    I would like to obtain a body and face like Jennifer Aniston.

    I'm a guy, so by "obtaining", I'm assuming that I get a girlfriend with that body type, right? I would probably look kind of strange if my body type was the same as Jennifer's.

    Yes, my body type now, except 15 lbs lighter, and about 13% less body fat.

    I'm short, so unfortunately I can't have those long legs I find really nice. I just want a lower bf% and to still have curves.

    I think I'm genetically stuck with my body type - I'm just aiming for a bit less fat and a bit more muscle :-) Good health, basically!
  • Yes, there is! Angelina Jolie's body. She's not that thin but she's sexy. :)
