ideal body type



Recommended Posts

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?

Mine would be Thor. Not huge, but incredible strength and agility. He was still awesome as a mere mortal after powers got stripped.

That's cool. You can turn your body into any shape with the right diet, supplementation and training. Keep your eye on your goals and you will get there!

You are right. I should have put him on the list. :) The younger version, not the crypt guy he is now. Lol.

How about a combination of ideal body type and brains? With WLS, we can do this as most of us have developed cognitive processing abilities from over compensating in that area most of our lives. Or would there always be balance where increasing vanity will decrease intelligence and logical reasoning. I would hope not!

I am not picky about body shape or size-- I don't think a lot of females are to be honest.... my fiance is 6'3'' and 275, and to me he is perfect. I am a sucker for a cute face and a great sense of humor.

I would like to have a figure like Salma Hayek or Catherine Zeta-Jones. Maybe Scarlett Johansen. No skin and bones for me. I want curves.

Heck, yeah... If you're only 34 you may not be aware of his TV role as Rowdy Yates in "Rawhide". I'm 60, and it was on when I was preschool. Go find him in Google Images. A prettier face you'll never find. Never even noticed his body.

Rowdy Yates was my first love, and I still adore Clint Eastwood to this day. He's aged beautifully. He wears "craggy" better than anyone.

Sorry, Fiddleman, to hijack your thread.

I like variety. I love brains and a fun personality. I enjoy eye candy from time to time too.

Ok, Fiddleman, combination of brains and body...

Sting is the total package: handsome, fit, intelligent, intellectual, artsy, talented, sensitive, rich, then there's that whole chi thing... :P

Well, Hugh Jackman is - um - easy on the eyes. Whew.

If I were to pick an ideal female figure? Kim Basinger or Faith Hill. I'm 42, so I think that is reasonable. (As Faith Hill does her Monday night football thing, my husband always says - "she is is ALMOST as attractive as you"....love being lied to like that! LOL!)

      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!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
