I would use current pictures of yourself...and then take another one every couple of weeks and use that one. I wish I had done that!

Use all of them! Put the you pics side by side so that you can see the difference, and to show what you CAN look like!

I agree with Paris!!

Ditto Paris!!!

I use a celebrity picture in addition to my own, but NOT one out of a magazine, which is always airbrushed and unrealistic. Most celebrities are not very healthy at all, underweight, no muscle, etc!

Here's my inspiration, Melanie Roach. Olympic weight lifter, wife, mother (including an autistic boy), teaches children at a gymnasium. To me, that's motivation.

No photos of myself, because they remind me of the health problems I've had -- long story told elsewhere on the boards.

I do keep a small photo book with me at all times that holds my inspirational/motivational items: photo of my son playing soccer; photo of my husband; photos of things I look forward to doing or wearing, or or places I want to see; sayings that I find inspirational or motivational. This reminds me of why I want to stay on track regarding food, and also why I want to spend less money (because I'm saving money to do those things, to buy those clothes and to travel)! I look through it when I have a few minutes (waiting for an appointment, etc.) or when I've lost sight of why I'm doing this. I change things around in it, removing and adding as things get stale.
