The body you WANT - photos?

I have always found it inspiring to look at images of the body that I want to have. And for me, it happens to be the body that I USED to have!

How bout you? Do you use any photos as motivation? Could be your own past photos like me, or maybe a celebrity photo or just one you clipped out of a magazine?

    The photo that motivates me is actually how I used to look at my heaviest. It reminds me of how uncomfortable I was with myself at that time in my life and how difficult things were for me too. I never compare my body to others because we're all shaped differently. I just want to be the strongest, healthiest , most bad *kitten* version of me. :smokin:

    I don't use photos per se...but when I need inspiration, I watch Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders: Making the Team on cmt.com. The dedication and effort that every single young lady puts into making and being on that squad is inspirational to me. They have the look I would want. Don't know if I'll ever get there, but they inspire me with their beauty, fitness, dance ability and athleticism to keep trying.

    LOL! the "I have the shaved head already" comment made me laugh. Like many other women, I'm sure, I have many vin diesel fantasies so I can understand having him as an example.

    Keep em coming!

    I thought I wanted a specific body (Jenna Renee), but the more I've gotten into shape the more I love the way I look. Even if I could swap bodies with anyone in the world I wouldn't.

    This was me 5 years ago. I would LOVE to be this skinny again.

    I was 18, and about 96-98 lbs. While I probably can't get that low again, I'd at least like to get close.

    My first goal is trying to get back to this:

    I'll have to re-evaluate when I get closer, but for now this is where I want to be.

    I'm not trying to be uber thin. I am not trying to be a model. To be honest I don't like the look of a woman who is to thin. But for me this image is what I see as healthy. And an amazing independent woman ontop of it.

    This looks like a taller version of my 7 year old daughter; certainly not the look of a young woman.
