Skinny or Curvy?
I've been on this forum for a while, and I've seen some pretty low goals! Of course it's up to yourselves what you have your goal as, you know your own body and what will look best, but I was just wondering what the general opinion was on this forum...
At the end of your diet, do you aim to be skinny, or curvy??
Don't get me wrong, thin is better than fat. (I would not be here if I felt otherwise) But I definitely hope to keep my curves. I still want a bum. I still want boobs. If that means I have a little thicker arms and legs, or a tiny bulge of the belly, then so be it.

My boobs left at 160lbs so...that's out! LOL I aim to be fit. I aim for muscle tone to show through and I won't stop til almost all of my body fat percentage is gone enough for every muscle I've worked so hard on that past year to show.
Had I kept my boobs I'd be 160 and still have a gut!

I aim for what I can maintain without driving myself or anyone around me crazy.

I have no rearend at 191 lbs so there are no curves on my body. If I had an hourglass shape I would probably increase my goal to 150 or so. Good observation cant.

Both- they're not mutually exclusive, after all.

I have an hour glass figure that tends to get straighter as I lose weight and boobs that start to look less attractive as my weight gets lower, so this is a question I really struggle with. Unfortunately, I can't keep certain parts of my body and trade in the others (but wouldn't that be great?!) So I've decided that I want my legs to look good more than breasts. I can wear a push-up bra, but there's nothing I can do to fool people into thinking I have great legs.
I'll never be totally happy with my body, but then again, my ideas about the "perfect body" change depending on my mood. Sometimes I wish I was tall, sometimes I'm happy to be short. Sometimes curvy seems good, sometimes I wish I was flat and stick thin so I could wear those cute, flowy clothes without looking like a beach ball. Anyway, glad someone else has some similar thoughts about weight loss.

Even at 121lbs I had curves, its just my shape...my calves were still 14.5in!
I will say I enjoy this site: http://www.skinnyvscurvy.com/
It often showcases bodies that are distinctly different shapes and sizes (from plus size models, to typical skinny models, to short curvy girls, to tall curvy girls).

To be perfectly honest, I want to get to a weight where I can be described as slender or slim. I doubt my splendid hips will be going anywhere though..lol

Both. Like xty, that's how I'm built. I actually get less curvy as I gain weight, because my waist gets thicker in proportion to the rest of me. When I started at 168 lbs, my measurements were something like 42/35/44.5; now at 126 I'm at 36-25-37.5.
If I had to make a choice, though, I would opt for a lower body fat percentage and fewer "curves." Which tells me how much my preferred aesthetic has changed over the last year--a year ago, I would've told you that I'd prefer curves with a little softness (if it was necessary).

Well I'd aim to be skinny but that's never going to happen - I accept that. That's just not something that would be healthy for me. I will always carry a little 'softness' around my lower half.
The best I can hope for is to have good even muscle definition. But it would be awesome to have a bod like this:-

I definitely have child-bearing hips. I couldn't be skinny if I wanted to be. [And I secretly do]
But all the guys I know like curvy, and when I admire other females bodies, I tend to agree with the men that the curves are nice.
An Ideal Body:
Curvy and skinny but not stick skinny.

I also choose both! I have a small waist, wide hips and a booty so that's probably never going to change, but I'd like to get down to where I feel very toned and lean or what some may call "skinny."

"Compact," "petite," "svelte," "small." I like eating a LOT so I don't think "skinny" is in the cards, and I'm rocking AAs and a flat butt so "curvy" is impossible as well.

I'm not really sure about the definition of curvy, I see it used for so many different types of body and although I've always considered myself to be curvy (26 inch waist and 35 inch hips), I know some would have a completely different interpretation of that.
In terms of losing my breasts and hips at my goal, I don't think that will happen. I'd describe myself as a pear with breasts and I always have been, even when I was at my thinnest I was still a C-D cup. In all the weight that I've lost so far, I haven't had to change any of my bras (although I've got a little bit more space in there, it's not noticable). Same goes for my butt and my damn thighs.
I'd love to be slender in theory, but I think if I reach a point where I'm more comfortable and confident in my thighs then I'll be happy. Goal weight is only an 'ideal' and it's subject to change as I get closer to it.
