Everybody on MFP is looking to get fitter, healthier etc. Just wondering what people’s goals are i.e. lose weight, gain weight & muscle, increased flexibility, getting lean, slim/trim, increased stamina etc.

    For me I want to gain long lean muscle....feel stronger/stand taller..LOL
    I think you can be underweight on the scale or be skinny fat (which I have been guilty of)
    So, to me, smaller is not always better or more desirable

    I’m trying to lose a small wobbly belly and tone up everywhere else. Also trying to get stronger as I’m a bit of a weakling.

    My goals are always changing. But overall improved body composition (more muscle in lower body especially) increased strength, endurance would be nice too. I would love to be 138-140lbs with a certain lean bodyfat% which will probably take a few more bulk/cut cycles.

    I’m in maintenance so my goal is maintaining the body shape I have achieved through eating less and moving more.

    I have several goals.
    Top one right now is to lose 5# and to reduce body fat.

    OP's question:
    What in each individual is their idea of the ideal body shape in the opposite sex?

    I dropped 80+ pounds several years ago and it took me a couple years of maintenance to reach my ideal body composition.

    Now I'm maintaining my hard work (staying in a 10 pound range year round), plus continuing to stay healthy and always working towards improving my fitness levels.

    Be healthy, be fit, maintain strength. Ideally get beastlier so that I can eat more food.

    Also, it would be nice to be able to maintain a slightly lower BF% (when I get to it), but nothing major like abs or anything like that - just flatter pooch and more definition particularly on my legs, but they have a hard time leaning out. Unlike my upper body.
