What kind of visual inspiration motivates you?


In the past I have resorted to thinspo material but now I've taken a more positive approach, and I like to reflect on Goal Photos (before & after) of fellow 3FCers. My current inspiration is, Fairy, who looks fantastic! I'm at 125lbs now and want to lose a minimal of 10 pounds but ultimately, I'd be thrilled to shed a total of 20 pounds because of my small frame.

Visual Inspiration is going to the thread which shows all the people who have met their goals and to see the before and after shots! These forums are visual inspiration for me!

Before & After photos, the muscle vs fat picture (it's here on 3FC I think), and the picture below. I found it on Tumblr a while ago and saved it to my desktop, it's more words than anything really but it's great.

Same! I love looking at the posters on 3FC. Especially when they're shorties like me.

I love looking at the pics of members who've reached their goals because it gives me hope but I'll admit most the time I'm looking at thinspo. I don't want to be a skeleton so I don't look at those but I would love to be slim though my best hope is to at least not have fat rolls hanging all over lol

Picture of a beach. I want to walk along a beach.

Picture of 5 lbs of fat vs 5lbs of muscle...have this picture on my FB page, really gross

WW magazine...the before's and after's

I don't usually go for negative inspiration, but always found this visual an interesting reminder that I want to avoid simple carbs (especially refined sugar):



I wish I could find it in a higher resolution to print out a nice copy for my fridge.

And here's something I drew a while back to remind myself to make good choices:





Oh, and missjean, I just love your flowchart! I might print that one out.

Thanks for sharing, ladies.



Ella - love the drawing! Fun, and yet, inspiring as well :]

I love this Snack attack flyer where did you get it I HAVE TO copy it and post i in my kitchen.

Aw, thank you!

I just found this one today, possibly NSFW but I thought it was super-cute. http://fatpeopleart.tumblr.com/post/26349852845

Ella- That picture that you drew is adorable!! Especially the little angel.

My inspiration pictures come from the health and fitness category in pinterest, before and after pictures here and in healthy living blogs.

I love looking at before and afters, but what really gets me going is fitspo pics!! i could google that all day, fit tight toned bodies are what get me going!

I actually really like the Snack Attack visual, as well! I need to get it up on my fridge for those dreadful munchies that pop-up throughout the day..

I like looking at women (in real life/pics/tv) who are tall and have some curves, but toned and you can tell they workout. That's my inspiration!
