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

hope this works. I don't have a pic at goal weight. I don't recall ever weighing 130 but I imagine I may have,some 40 years ago but I do keep this virtual model with a pic of my face on my wall for motivation. Looking forward to taking pics along the way.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thanks, this was my first pic upload. I was determined to get it right! lol

Nike girl with a booty like a letter C. Ideally. However, totally happy with much less definition.

I have no pictures as an adult of how I want to look. Briefly, I lost weight, but the majority of the pics I have
are high school and before kids. I was never really skinny, but was still a healthy weight then.
Recently, I've come to love my body, in particular parts of my lower body that I found so difficult to
challenge and show definition, because now I know I am stronger than I ever imagined.
I'm very excited about unlocking my potential.
and. Now I know what I didn't before, how to get those defined legs.

1. Do a Max 1 rep test.
this is the most weight you can lift for only 1 rep
you can find calculators online, just use a weight that is very challenging
for less than 20 reps.

2. If you don't already know, take a quiz to find out your muscle body type.
these are available online too, and it's possible to be a combination of body types.

3. Also, useful to know what type of frame size you have.
this is often found with a simple wrist measurement.

4. Now that you have reasonable expectations for what your body CAN look like,
not all of use are made to be ballerina thin or thick football players,
you can set realistic goals for yourself.

5. Do workout routines and type of diet that works for your body.
This may take some trial and error,
but once you know what works, it helps so much.
and if you stick to your plan, hopefully a lifestyle,
it gets so much easier.

Examples:
1. My dead lift max 1 rep is over 100#
That is without training unless you count walking up stairs at home
and sitting on the couch, 'training'
Even when everything else about my weightloss plans aren't working
out, that potential gives me confidence, and I CAN DO THIS.
I haven't done the other exercises, I will at least do a few more
body parts eventually.

2. A mix of meso and endomorph. Hourglass.

3. frame size.
this was always a bit confusing.
I guess I'm a mix of med and large.
small short fingers, wrists, and ankle bones
that are flat and invisible.
yet hips that were built for motherhood.

4. again, Nike girl

5. 2 miles a day of running did nothing to define my legs.
I need very heavy weight lifting, plyometrics, HiiT,
and lateral moves like speed skaters and side lunges. and fat loss.
Cardio is my favorite so I won't skimp on that, but the above is for shape.

Diet- no low carb for me. I live on carrots, fruit ect.
I need filling foods with as much volume as possible.
tons of fruits and veggies, legumes, lean protein, whole grains
like oats, and healthy fats from nuts, sardines, and flax.
I don't like having to limit how much I eat.
so I want most of my food to be so healthy I can eat as much as I want.
and a few pizza slices on the weekend with my family.

I have never ever been skinny and really I don't want to be a stick. I want to be healthy but with curves like a Greek goddess. My husband loves curves :flowerforyou:

thanks. its a great feeling but i know theres more to lose. im sure youll get there in no time

i think photobucket and FB have issues with the pictures since they are so wide (pun maybe intended) give me a few

here is a direct link to the latest picture, not sure why it wont show the whole thing

good idea! I'll have to find a pic of myself when I was single, kid-free and broke haha. I lived in this ratty apartment complex and we were in the laundry room.. there's a pic of me posing on top of a washer LOL. I need to find that. I was so skinny back then.

My goal is to have an *kitten* like most of the girls on the "She Squats Bro" facebook page. One day...

HAH! Oh dear. I have the body these ladies have... It's weird to me that at some point this was considered sexy... because I have a hard time seeing myself that way.

Yay Venus. Presenting beauty for us plus sized ladies.

My "goal" picture....

I don't even remember my weight here.... I just want to look at a picture and say "damn I look hot!" again lol

I'm smaller now than when I graduated HS. I'd still like to lose another 30 lbs. though.

bump! I want to see more of these!
