The first one definately isn't possible for me, haha. Gotta rock what I've got.

Mmm. I am pretty sure I will always be curvy and I am good with it. I have a large chest and that’s not going anywhere so having a somewhat curvy made is natural for me and flattering on my shape.2

I'm not aiming for a sixpack, although if I could get defined muscles on my arms that would be awesome1

Yup.4 -
I am just aiming to be my lowest healthiest weight, whatever I'll look like; at that weight'll have to be what I also prefer!0

I don't care about visible ab's and women are curvy anyways. I just like to be lean.3
-
I would like a flat stomach, but not see the ab muscles.2

I would like to have my waist size and my hip size be in the same clothing size. Beyond that I don't really care about waist definition. If my abs are defined fine and if they aren't it doesn't bother me.

Ever since I was a little girl my goal in life was for my breasts to be small and humble so that no one confused them for mountains7

If by "curves," you mean a huge butt...then I have a bit of both (although, currently the abs are disappearing) courtesy of powerlifting.
I'm more of a butt lady than an abs lady though.0 -

Oftentimes when you lose significant weight your cup size goes up! I was looking at someone's measurement chart and she went from a 36B to a 32D, because her underbust shrunk 4 inches, but her bust only shrank 2 inches. So her boobs got smaller, but they looked bigger on her frame.2 -
I have no choice but to be curvy (when my BMI was 19 my hips were 36 in and I wore a D cup). I don't care whether my abs show or not as long as my belly is flat.2

Oh ab definition. I thought you meant a clearly defined crease where your stomach folds over in a roll when hunching. I’ve got that, not the first one0

I'm a mix of both (curvy based on my measurements) and I like my stomach the way it is now. It's flat, but no 6 pack - although there's a tiny bit of definition.
I don't do any direct ab work. If I did I know I would have more definition, but that's not what I want.2 -
With lifting and diet anything is possible. Helps if you have good genetics in your corner as well.
Most women cannot get lean enough or if they do, can sustain a body fat percentage to keep a 6 pack. But visible ab striations with prominent abs are possible. You can build a nice set of legs and glutes too.
As far as upper body goes, losing weight usually means some boob loss. Women can build nice rounded shoulders, etc.

I just want to lose the spare tire. After that I will worry about if I want to go for more definition in that area or not. I am more concerned with definition in my arms, legs and back than stomach at this point.0

It's interesting how different body types can be. Like despite all your efforts, some characteristics are just intrinsic.0 -
Here is an example of fitness model Emily Skye... curvy figure with definition... great genetics clearly at play too

It depends on what you mean by curvy. I have a 10 inch difference between my waist and my hips so technically I am curvy but I also have definition in my stomach.
But I've always had small breasts so unless having babies in the future changes that, that'll never happen for me.
For the record, I love your stomach...I'll never have that, you are lucky!
And hard working I should say, not just luck!2 -
I like a soft stomach versus hard abs. For me, I think it looks more feminine. ETA: I still want it flat though!2

Curvy 10000%0

I'd love to be curvy but still have a "flat" stomach. I like the curves I have now but hate that ridge where my pants sit.0

flat and rock hard, with a strong core0

That's pretty much what I meant... low amount of fat around the body, with a hint of a six pack, rather than a well defined one.You can build a nice set of leg
Really?!? That would be nice. I've always had the biggest calves. Not sure if its genetic, or if that's the last place the fat will go from.
I don't look like this pic at the monent cause my abs are gone from bulking this winter and need to cut back down, but this is as much as I will ever get to, don't really care about abs in general, no six packs in my future.
