I'd prefer to be a normal/athletic mix. Actually, replace "prefer to" with "will." I think I'm "curvy" right now.0

I would love to be half way between 8 and 90

PLUS, a lot of these are talking about weight, not body type. Morbidly obese is not a body type. Neither is chubby. Neither is muscular. You have to alter your appearance to gain these body shapes, they are not a natural body type. The "normal" one is not "normal" - it may be a "normal" bf% and weight bit if you title it body types, you're talking pear, apple, hourglass etc.
And the woman labeled "normal" is a banana or whatever, which I'm pretty sure is the least common shape - pear shaped is most common.
And yeah, we can't decide which is our goal, as most of us do not have the same build as these women, and bf%/weight gain/loss will do nothing to change that.
A better title would have been "female weights and body fat %" and asked what people are aiming for in that respect.
I can't aim to be an hourglass shape anymore than I can aim to have black skin.0 -
I'll never fit any of the ones I would *really* like, so I see no reason to torture myself with images of others' bodies and the labels other people give them. I would like to be within a healthy body percentage range, with whatever athletic build I can manage. Like so many women, my weight is holding on in my stomach, hips, and thighs. I see no way that my stomach will never be flat so if my body ends up a bit like the chubby picture because of that while I still have a healthy body fat percentage, so be it.0

Curvy. I definitely have the assets for it...lol. I just need to lose my tummy (which I will with support).0

Why don't we line men up based on their weight and judge them accordingly. I mean, really, have you ever seen this for men?
This whole scale promotes disordered eating and body image. I can't believe someone with so much training posted this.0 -

This too. I was surprised because I've seen him posting in the forums, and this seems so STUPID, didn't expect it from him.
I think it was an honest "guy moment" but still0 -

Curvy/muscular. There's no way my body will ever not be curvy no matter how small I get (which is awesome) but I'm definitely looking to lose a lot of fat (obviously) and eventually add some muscle to the equation. Yum lol0

Between the smaller set of pictures and the larger set of pictures picture a number of the examples appear to have been lost. I pick the one that we can't see. The one who looks like me.

Hey guys, my name is Amber. Some o fyu will have seen the thread I posted earlier which got deleted. I just want o let you guys in on a bit of information. I am a loyal and faithful christian to the Lord, and Jesus christ and also an animal lover. This is why I am a vegetabletarian. There is a girl on this site who goes by the name Sophiebee92. Please do not be friends with her. She is a prostitute. Last year my bf made 1 million dollars reviewing and directing pornos. And he says he has seen her in one. Also I am on this site to be honest and respectful so it makes me mad when people lie about their bodies. This girl 100% has fake boobs, I can tell. Plus my dad is one of the top 3 plastic surgeons in the country and he told me. She is also on steriods, that is how she has muscles. I respectfully warn all of you that she has sold these to, please don't take them. Having muscle kills girls.
Plus what cheerleader and blonde girl like her have you ever seen who is not a complete *****. It is obvious that the only reason she is on this site is to sell her body. Now that is not ok with me. If you want a friend like her just go to the grocery store and by yourself a Barbie doll, its the same thing!!
Also I want to warn you about some of her other friends too. One of them personally told me in a pm that her family are thieves. Another one called me a ***** and two of them were in pornons with her. Some o fthe most insulting comments were from cannonsky, delco, glamour60xtreme, becca_daniel, grapenutsf to name a few! All because I tried to give a little constructive criticism
Also I urge you guys to please help me get her banned. Thank you and I hope you have a pleasant evening!!
PLEASE SPRESD THIS MESSAGE!!!0 -
Uh, I think "fat" looks pretty good. I think that's what I have in my mind as a goal. Sad to hear that's what "fat" is supposed to look like though. And who came up with this anyways. That "normal" looks nearly the same as the "skinny" which really should be called MALNOURISHED. Anybody?
Wrong!!! I suppose I'm "normal" , maybe better but pretty close actually, I've got a bit more definition and am a bit more fine boned. A few less drinks and I'm closer to curvy, as in less weight midsection - probably due to a decent hip width. I wouldn't mind being a bit more towards athletic. Working on it!
My doctor lists me as "well nourished", see what that means? http://www.thefreedictionary.com/well-nourished
Apparently, I'm a happy piggy eating flowers. Fine with me.
*editing because posts like this anger me.0
