I'd like to have a list of books, blogs, magazines, etc that I can turn to when my motivation starts to flag. I'm 5'8" and over 200 lbs, looking to get not just skinny but strong and lean someday - not bodybuilder buff, but more muscled than the average airbrushed "ideal" of thin.

Thoughts on where to find images and stories to get psyched?

    This may sound kinda of weird but I have a super hot sister and when I start to lose my motivation, I look at the pictures I have of us all over the place. I ask myself if I want to look like that or if I want to look like this becasue we use to be the same size once upon a time....

    Check out the healthy lifestyle section of your library and just read......I find it helps keep me motivated and focused. Ac ouple of favourites - The Secrets of Skinny Chicks and Skinny *****-Authors Kim Barnouin and Rory Freedman. I also log daily in a paper diary - my weight, exerercise, and any other info pertinent to my health/lifetstyle that day. I can easily look back at a week and see that I exercised 4/7 days or 6/7 or am a couple of pounds lighter than whenever.

    Works for me...
