Although right now I am no where near what she looks like, I do aspire to have the toned arms of people like Jennifer Aniston and Jillian Michaels. I do love how toned and magnificent their arms are. Maybe because I am not at all toned and I have very large upper arms that I envy anyone who is toned and fit! I'll get there. I know I will.

    Check out Doug Graham. That dude is like 60 years old, and can do some pretty crazy push ups.

    Also, Ruth Heidrich. She is a triathlete in her 70's.

    Micheal Arnstein, ultra runner, he commutes to work by running!

    The old me from my rugby playing days in high school and college. I enjoyed being active and fit. That's my inspiration.

    Ashley Tisdale. Really random, but she's one of the most beautiful women alive in my book, and her body is spectacular. Fit yet dainty.

    Myself.

    I have some friends on MFP whom I really admire on a fitness level.

    However, if I'm not my own inspiration.... I'd have to reconsider.

    The future me. I want to be self sufficient and lively until I croak! It isn't just about looking good (though that's a GREAT benefit :) ) It's about living life.

    Honestly, me, myself and I. I have accomplished things I never thought I'd do, which pushes me to go harder and get out of my comort zone.

    I think I would have much better self esteem if I didn't have to hide my arms under sweatshirts and things :(

    I know its a cliche, but it is Jillian Michaels. I never watched the Biggest Loser, but started listening to her podcasts last year for motivation, which led me to her DVDs, which led me to 50lb+ weight loss this year. I love that she admits that she hates working out, that she doesn't always eat "clean" and that the process of getting healther is not easy...or cheap.

    Angelina Jolie in Tomb Raider... http://mikescollection.wordpress.com/2012/03/27/lara-croft-tomb-raider/

    She's defined and still curvy at the same time. I am not a fan of hers AT ALL, but here she's in tip top shape.

    my best friend and my boyfriend's mother are my inspirations!

    my bestie because she's so accessible and healthy, and my BF's mom for her lifetime accomplishments in triathlons, marathons, being a nurse, a lawyer, and being a strong independent woman. and raising an awesome kid with whom i'm in love.:heart:
