I was looking around for some motivational pictures online, and I saw this picture on tumblr. I thought "That. That's what I'm working toward!". Granted, she looks a bit taller than I am, but still...I think I'll print it out and keep it near my workout area.

Seems like it would be great motivation/inspiration to keep me going on days when the scale doesn't budge. :)

    It's always great to have a reminder to stay motivated when things get hard :D
    I'm just working towards being a healthier person over all. I want to learn to love exercise!

    Im working toward loosing 5 lbs a month. That a way I only need to focus on a small portion of my weightloss as a progress. It gives me accountability and reachable goals vs saying I want to lose 50 lbs by ___

    Great idea! I've got little 'motivators/incentives' that I'm using for each 5 lb lost...like buying new shoes or something small like that. Breaking it down makes it more manageable and seems more attainable!

    It's not a great picture of her body, but it gives me a nice general idea, since I'm a tennis player. Apparently she's the same height as me (5'7") and weighs 130lbs, my goal weight. So yeah :)

    Well my ultimate goal that I'm working towards is being half the size that I was at the beginning of this year (303 pounds). I reached my first goal of losing 10% of my total weight loss goal. I'm now working on losing 10% of my total weight (I've got 10 more pounds to go). At my first 25 pounds lost I'm going to treat myself to one of those fish pedicures (I'm going with a girlfriend for her daughter's birthday and we're just going to have a girl's day and get pedicures and what not). And for every pound that I lose, I'm saving $5 so that when I hit 50 pounds lost (every time) I'm going to treat myself to new clothes without having it cost me a fortune up front because I've been saving for it over time.

    I am working on being healthy and being able to wear my wedding dress (which I want to alter to a cocktail length) on our 25th anniversary which will June 4, 2014. I was 107 pounds when we got married.

    I want to work out 100 times this year. I made a chart counting down from 100 to 0. I weigh myself after each 10 workouts. After the first 10 i lost 7 pounds. Tomorrow is workout #20 and I weighed today and was 12lbs down. If i lose 6 pounds each 10 workouts, I will hit my 60 lb goal.

    it feels great to mark those days off and have a visual reminder of how healthy i am becoming

    I am working towards being able to run and play with my kids for more than 5 mins at a time. 4 years ago I broke my leg and foot pretty severely and was not in good shape to begin with. Since then things have been going down hill. Well at the start of this year I weighed in at 390 lbs at 6'2". I have set a pretty steep goal of wanting to be down to 250lbs but I don't care how long it takes. I currently have 31lbs off and am feeling great. I don't have a pic of what I want to look like but if I could post one it would be one of me from 1996 when I weighed about 230lbs and felt awesome. That is my goal.

    I'm working toward the Disney Princess 5k next year. We were at Disney World in January when Marathon Weekend was going on and seeing all of those participants was really inspiring. Plus, I really want to go back to Disney and if I want to get my husband on board, I need to have a very good reason. :bigsmile:

    That is brilliant to save $5 every pound! Thanks for the idea I love it!!!
