Hear! Hear! I totally agree with that. When I see the monthly pictures of everyone, I never think "wow, they are doing SO much better than me". I think "she is kicking some serious ass" and it makes me happy to see everyone's progress. It also motivates me to read the training logs of everyone and see how hard everyone is working. It makes every drip of sweat, every stiff muscle so much easier to deal with, knowing that there are others feeling and doing the same thing.
I also find it hugely motivating that we are a group of women who like seeing muscles develop on us and like being strong. Love that.
I have to say that Jane's determination is very motivating, especially in the diet department.
Picture-wise. In everyone's pictures there is something I notice that I find motivating. Mel, Natalia, Leah and Ms. LoriAnne all have my goal body and reading their stories, what they are eating, their struggles and so forth, gives me that extra umph that I need. We are all going through this together.
Sorry about the book.
