For the guys - would you rather be superman, batman, hulk, Thor, captain america, gladiator (aka Russell crow) or Spartan ( from "300" movie) and why?

For the gals- what body type would you like to see in your guy or potential guy?

I started looking at different body types online and completely forgot your question. But after re-reading and wiping the drool off my keyboard, I'd have to say Spartacus. I like the super lean muscley loincloth look, it's like a tractor beam for my eyes. In real life, I'm fine with a more padded Spartacus of course.

If i was going to be a superhero, I'd want to look (and shoot) like Olivia Dunham.

I like my husbands body type, and fiddle I'm sure if you asked your wife she would say she likes yours! Also maybe if you ask her real nice she might be willing to call you Thor sometimes....

:P

Oh and as long as we are playing I want to be

Catwoman!!

Sorry for being the cornball that ruins the fun-ness of this thread but I've never been attracted to only one type of male body type and I am trying so hard to love myself and not compare myself to others that I've learned, over time, that I just want to be healthy. Whatever my body looks like is only something I can only control up to a point. So as much as I can, I try not to spend any part of my life wishing I wasn't myself. :)

CORNY I know!

Cat women is awesomely sexy! Especially in the new batman. Who knew Anna Hathaway could be so hot after seeing her first in Devil Wears Prada. Definitely want her to reprise that role.

Back to real life now, my wife likes me just the way I am.

However, she has on more then one occasion told me what she would like ( kind of like Thor muscular, but not over the top ripped and bulging). Her eyes light up every time I let her feel my flexed running leg.

Starting to look good in upper body, but am not there yet. Trying to get Men's Fitness model ready by the time we go to Hawaii in a month. Abs in 6 weeks anyone? My cross fit PT says it is totally possible. I promise I will post a picture once I am worthy of the camera. Lol.

Figures.....:) I deliberately do not watch that show because it is always a skin flick or a supernatural romp session. Not really my taste. My wife watches it though. Probably for the same reason she watches the bachelor ( another show I leave the room for).

<start rant>

End the vampire obsession already!!! I was so ready for bit to end after the first twilight, but noooooo, my wife and her whole family got hooked on the whole twilight, vampire diaries, true blood, underworld, etc shows. Enough already!!!

<end rant>

I couldn't wrap my head around the Twilight craze... Or that horribly written 50 Shades of Gray.

I got into True Blood because I read the Sookie Stackhouse books. And yes, it is rather provocative, but there is a plot to follow. I promise!!!

And I do admit to watching Vampire Diaries. Not familiar with Underworld but I'm a big fan of Supernatural.

I like my men 6'5" and above! I like big guys. I always have & always will. I am a tall chic, and wls or not, I will always be a bigger girl. I like Hulk's size, Thor's size...and the guy from Magic Mike Joe Manganiello (excuse my spelling)...

...I wish I had a smaller stomach, firmer arms, toner thighs, and not such a flat butt..but other than that, I'm happy to be me. I lived my childhood/teen years thinking I had to be the same weight at Cindy Crawford - I no longer let such foolish things come across my mind. I am determined to help my self-image at thsi point of my life.

As long as I don't end up looking like Daniel Tosh (Tosh.O), I'll be happy. :D

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        Good Luck this procedure is well worth it I am down to 249.6 lb please continue with the process..

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
