Power of Visualization- SHOW ME YOUR GOAL PICS! :)

Options
I read up a little on the power of visualization today and it warranted me going back into the Facebook Archives to find a picture of me at a weight I would like to get back to! If you have any pictures of yourself at a goal weight, or even a picture of someone else with a look you'd like to achieve, feel free to post them here! Work every day to visualize yourself in that state as a way to stay motivated.

Side note: In a world of photoshop and unattainable expectations, out of kindness to yourself, please try and find a picture of something you believe is attainable. Not a picture of a barbie doll (or Ken doll! :wink: ) that has spent many hours in surgery and many more hours in a photoshop workspace.

Here is mine. I am 5'6" and 266 pounds right now. I would like to get back to this look (I don't know how much I weighed in these pictures)

    Awesome topic! It's pretty sad that I don't have a "weight that i'd like to get back to", this is the lightest I've been in as long as I can remember. To tell you the truth, there's really nobody I desire to look like. I just want to be healthy, man...

    Must t be nice!! I'm tryin to get like you! ;) I mean I would definitely say I'd just LOVEEEE to look like Kim K! hahahaha But that is probably NEVER going to happen....So I'd rather visualize MYSELF smaller as opposed to someone else. Its much kinder :)

    This is me at my grad. I would still like to be a little thinner than this as I still had some flubber on me, but I looked pretty good at grad!

    You can go here http://tinypic.com/ and upload whatever picture you want to use. Then copy and paste the URL for message boards. It will be a web address inside blahblahblah Just copy and paste that to the message and make sure to make the IMG in brackets lowercase instead of capital. Hopefully that makes sense! :)

    Awesome Mystic! Very attainable! :) Use this picture and visualize current yourself that way! Look at that picture every day and tell yourself you WILL get there! (And then keep going if you feel like you're not ready to start maintaining!)

    Thanks for fixing Mystic.

    Whenever you post the URL you want to make sure IMG is lowercase at the beginning and end :) Good luck on your journey! You can do it!!

    This was me in 08 and it is my goal. However, I would like to tighten up a bit more than what is shown in the picture.
