I like some of the comments being posted behind my posts by users of this site. They are positive, they are helpful, and full of real life experience. In a way, you are all practicing a very important habit, you are trying to see where you are going before you even get there, this is not nonsense or jumping the gun, it does really help to visualise your future, and the way you want to look.
Some of the ways you can do this is remember the way you used to be at your very best, dig out the old photo’s of when you looked great, or even in you don’t have them to hand, you can get inspired by someone else’s transformation and cut that photo out, on how you want to look. All you women do it all the time, you pick out a photo of a woman with the hair you want and take it to the hairdresser don’t you?
Using this site and being constantly reminded of what is possible will be proof to you every day that transformations are really possible. The new energetic healthy you is not that far away as long as you fully adopt a healthy lifestyle, and hit your workouts with purpose, and simply do not “go through the motions”! The more you imagine and visualise your future body, the stronger your mind will become, as well as the drive and determination you’re going to need to get there. Apart from good eating and good training, this will fuel your ultimate success more than anything.

You are so right Keri. The power of our thoughts is immense. Just think how our mood can change if we listen to sad music, or watch a funny film. It’s all about changing our perception of ourselves and that can only be done by thinking in the right way.
I have had a weight problem all my adult life. I have dieted my way down, then blown it all by relaxing back into the old habits. I realise now that I never, ever saw myself slim. Even when I was at my strongest and fittest and friends were telling me how good I looked, all I could see in my minds eye were the faults I felt I still had. What a waste of all that effort!!
It has to be different this time. I don’t like the phrase “positive thinking”. I am going to think happy, slim, fit thoughts and picture myself in my leathers and being able to zip them up and breathe at the same time!!
Well Debs, breathing at the same time has to come into it. Ditto, what u just said, Ditto, It will be different 4 me this time too. Just finished my indoor workout, upped it to 4 sets of everything, so am pleased with that, hope ur week is brilliant, I was thinking of our meeting in March while working out, and I did 4 sets, see what a hard task master u are.
