    "A girl who is naturally skinny is lucky, but a girl who has had to work to be skinny is strong!"

    Not to mention, much more fit.

    "When I want to quit, I remember who's watching."
    I've got a little one I'm setting an example for! I want to be the mom running around the park playing with my kid, not the one sitting on the bench catching my breath.

    You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great

    This is great.

    I don't know if it counts as a fatloss saying, but when my workouts get tough (and actually, almost anything else now) I try to remember "sisu"... this is where I learned of it:

    At my gym there is one that says "Give yourself a pat on the back, those 5 pound weights didnt lift themselves!"

    It made me laugh when I read it, but also made me feel great about my work out :)

    Sweat dries, blood clots, bones heal... suck it up princess!

    No Excuses

    PT or die

    No one's ever drowned in sweat

    We all need to feel some pain once in a while... it's a reminder that we're still alive
    likes them all.But this one hit home.(for personal reasons)

    This one applies to everything. "never sacrifice what you want most, for what you want now."

    ETA: our RDC in Basic Training always said (or yelled) "If you cheat, you're only cheating yourself." That one stuck with me.

    Instead of going to the gym to workout, I'm going to the gym to start a flabolanche :bigsmile:

    1. you can't eat your way out of a bad diet!

    I love this one! All those days when I cave to a little something I shouldn't or go a little over on my calories, this is exactly what I need to be telling myself to nip it in the bud right there.

    "Not in this shrine"

    A friend of mine would say this in laughter as she turned down tempting treats... I hear it run through my head often :)

    When I'm hungry and I smile and think to myself "this is what burning fat feels like."

    An imperfect workout you do is better than the perfect one you don't.

    Beauty is pain
    No pain, no gain (gain: achieving weight loss)
    If it's worth having, it's worth working hard for:wink:

    Success is never final and failure never fatal. It's courage that counts.

    You only have 24 hours in a day to be successful. What are you doing with this one?

    I love fitness motivations like many of those listed here :) My favorite, by far, is this:

    "My body does not define me. I define my body."

    If you are tired of starting over, stop giving up.

    This is excellent.
