What do you love about your body?
At the risk of sounding like a Dove advert, what do you love about your body? I sometimes think I focus too much on what I don't like, and forget about the things I like. Let's make a list and celebrate the positives!
1. My muscly legs. Having come to terms with the fact my legs will always be bulky, I've come to love the muscle definition I easily get when I train. Maybe not the most feminine of looks (traditionally speaking) but they keep me running!
2. My skin. Since being on Roaccutane and focusing on my eating to lose weight, my skin is looking better than it has in years!
3. My general shape. Once I lose the last few pounds, I'll have a nice (if a bit wide, damn those hips) hourglass figure going on.
Over to you!

Everything from neck to lower abs is pretty rockin' right now. Maybe needs a little more muscle to fill me out, but I'm as lean in this zone as I want to be, my biceps have some interesting definition, and I feel really strong and powerful in my arms and abs.

Well, there's not a whole lot I'm loving right now. But, even at my heaviest, I love my nose. Know why? It doesn't gain weight. No matter what I do, my nose stays the same.

Haha, you girls have managed to mention all the parts of my body i still don't like -- skin (I relapsed after low-dose Accutane and am considering another course), abs, lack of muscle, nose.
Despite their smaller-than-ideal size, though, I love my eyes and my lips. I am a fan of my emerging shoulders and the muscle tone I've developing on my calves. And I have a reliably kickass set of boobs.

I hate how my gut reaction to this thread was "NOTHING" - but now that I'm thinking about it, there are things I like about me.
-I have a symmetrical face and a decent jawline.
-The area around my upper arms/shoulders has become muscular from pushups, and I've stopped being self-conscious about a "second wave" of arm fat.
-My wrists and ankles are very small, and my skeleton in general is tiny.
-Proportionally my legs are a bit big, but they are strong.
-I LOVE my immune system. I never, EVER get sick.

I have a pretty nice waist area. And I like my legs, half of the time. That's about it for now.

I get constant compliments on my face/eyes, and I carry my weight well (for my height) due to a curvy figure.

My shoulders and collarbones, and I've started to accept my hourglass-ish figure even though it means broad hips.

I get compliments on my skin and skin colour, everyone always thinks I've come from a vacation.
I like my shape overall, for a 54 year old, people tell me I look strong  , that's what 26 years of weight training will do  ...

My cute upturned nose.
My formidable bust - ah, you have let me get away with so much weight.
Same to you, butt.
My calves are completely rocking and have never had an ounce of fat on them.

....ha my goal is to be a little less hourglass-y, but still!

Yeah great answers everyone! I like my skin colour too, even though it is lily white, not fashionable and burns really easily. It is all about embracing the things we can't change

Hmmmm.......my blue-grey eyes, long arms and legs which make me seem smaller than I actually am......and my boobs - I'll miss them when they go away, lol! My bust was the one thing I loved about my weight gain.
