    No pain, no gain.

    Pain is weakness leaving the body.

    And the one in my signature: "You may be disappointed if you fail, but you are doomed if you don't try." - Beverly Sills

    "There's always another meal to look forward too."

    My doctor told me this and I guess that was when everything clicked into place.

    I also have to agree with kerri, I love singing "Just keep swimming" to myself when I'm on the elliptical. :)~

    I use mine for running. "let the mind run the body"
    And for the rest of my life...." being normal is not necessarily a virtue, but rather a lack of courage! "

    The only place where success comes before work is in the dictionary.

    Sweat is the cologne of accomplishment.

    If you don't focus on your *kitten*, no one else will. :)

    ....and the quote in my signature :)

    I love inspirational quotes here are a few of my favs:

    Nothing taste as good, as being fit or skinny feels!!

    Mistakes are part of the dues that one pays for a full life.
    -- Sophia Loren

    Don’t limit yourself. Many people limit themselves to what they think they can do. You can go as far as your mind lets you. What you believe, remember, you can achieve.
    -- Mary Kay Ash

    Perseverance is failing nineteen times and succeeding the twentieth.
    -- Julie Andrews

    Plus the one in my signature!!

    "Lack of willpower has caused more failure than lack of intelligence or ability" Flower A. Newhouse

    Through awareness and practice we can change the way we speak to ourselves. It’s time to change the tone of “that little voice” you hear in your head. - Chalene Johnson

    "See this couple? He's dating the babysitter, and she can eat a pound cake in under a minute!"
    HAHA! Great movie!!

    Also in my signature, "Reach for progress, not perfection." I try to keep that in mind when I start obsessing.

    My quote is "Impossible is Nothing". I say it over and over again when I feel like giving up. When I *really* need some help I say the full quote to myself: "Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing."

    If I'm completely and utterly in despair, I listen to Al Pacino's "Inch By Inch" locker room speech in Any Given Sunday (google/youtube it). I owe my law school final results to that speech!

    I got this one from one of my MFP friends:

    "Don't ever let the fact that you can't be perfect stop you from being your best."
