Anyway after that I told him when I get to 140 I am going to do that to you so you better bulk up to make it easier (muscles that is).

Since then I can't get the picture of me being able to actually be held up by my hubby out of my mind and I think its gonna be a great motivator. I know some people like to picture themselves skinnier or whatever, and I am very motivated by my health being the main concern (that is why I started). But to me most of the time I fell pretty sexy at the size I am (in the right clothes) I am fortunate to be tall and big boned so most people don't realize how much I truly weigh.

So this picture in my mind is my new motivator for a while, what do you visualize? This just came to me in a rush as being the picture to hold onto mentally when frustrated, truly truly something motivating, not strived for, has anyone else found this? Lets hear it! :belly:

Good for you. I can relate. When I started I was 204 lbs and my hubby was 120 lbs. Yes, you heard me. 120 lbs!!! Now, I'm 121 and he's 125 lbs. Just wait until you have a smaller waist than him. That's great too. I remember how great that was. Or even better when you try on his size clothes and they are baggy on you. :) Nice. You'll get there. Just keep it up and don't stop.

Basically I visualize fitting into my old clothes again my old size 6s. I have lots of cute clothes that are still pretty much in style.
