    I don't think you really want to see mine, but it's one of me in a bikini 10 yrs ago! I felt so good about myself then and never worried about what I was going to wear :)

    Why on earth do you think no one would want to see yours? ;)

    I'd post pictures if I was smart enough to figure it out.

    Mine is this dress. My stomach needs a bit of work yet but by mid summer I want my back and shape to be able to wear something like this dress http://www.venus.com/viewproduct.aspx?BRANCH=7~72~&ProductDisplayID=23695

    My own pictures. I don't strive to look like anyone else nor am I alluded to what happened behind the scenes for some of these fitspo pics. On my down days I just need to be reminded of how much I've changed mentally and physically and how being strong, becoming stronger trumps any unit of measurement I might get down about.

    I don't have a picture like that on my phone...my background is a photo of my husband looking cute. Which I guess could be motivation in a big way, but not quite what you mean ;-)

    I use quotes to motivate me.

    Finding new quotes to uplift my spirits is a weird hobby of mine. I always have a quote on the background of my computer, on my calendar, on sticky notes EVERYWHERE.

    The sticky note motivations are KEY. :)

    I originally googled 30 day shred results to get motivated...

    When I started lifting I used this thread

    http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1096001-halp-heavy-lifting-made-me-supah-bulky?page=13#posts-19366042

    They were all movtivating but one woman in particular did it for me....

    I keep one of my senior portraits in a really beautiful frame right next to my living room tv where I have to see it all the time, from almost every angle in my living room & kitchen. I love the way I looked in that picture & my goal is to look better than I did then.

    I used to look like this kid and every time I see this picture or the commercial it is from, I just get reminded of all the hard work I have done so far and I begin to feel really inspired to keep working and then at the same time wanting to get into better shape so I can later on help people like Nathan(the kid in the picture).

    I have an image that says "I've worked too hard to quit now" for my lock screen. On my back ground I have an image that says "I am just striving to become more than I have ever been". They really inspire me.

    Edit: whoa they were larger than I thought.

    Anywho, they are pictures that really remind I want to look hot in bikini / tights.

    Pictures of me when I was an active duty Marine. I was healthy, and at my goal weight. And I (mostly) enjoyed my time in the Marines.

    I have a picture of me on the fridge from when I was 125 pounds, all 3 of my kids have commented on it... so I figured it would be great motivation :wink:

    this is the background on my phone.

    I also have a pic of me when I was a senior in high school. I was skinnyfat, but I want to be much more....like this:

    d1007405f6cdb2b0e599f546d875c2f6.jpg


    I don't have pics of anyone that I want to look like besides me. I just want to be a fit version of me..whatever that looks like.
