Anyone have any motivational tv shows or movies they watch?

I've got about a million motivating reasons to lose weight. I've also "started over" about a million times. It's a long weekend and was wondering if anyone has any recommendations on tv shows or movies they find inspirational. They don't necessarily have to be weight loss based but anything that will help to light a fire! Thanks!

One that motivated me a while back was a PBS show. It had Dr. Furham.
Google: Dr. Furham PBS Video. Look for the 1+ hour video.

"Extreme weight loss" is a really good show!

Honestly, having a look around the Gym (for me it's our YMCA) you see a huge variety of people... from all ages, sizes, and fitness levels. Once I saw a woman with seizure disorder working out on the weight machines with someone sitting at a nearby table to keep an eye on her. She had an on-the-floor, several minutes long seizure (the person with her calmly sat on the floor and assisted) and then got right up and started pumping again. She's a regular I see fairly often.

Another time I saw an old man with a walker make his way to the leg machines and get on and start pumping.

When you see things like that... all whiny, demotivational self-talk in your head goes silent FAST. You don't need TV to see it. People are doing amazing stuff all around us.

Skip TV and take that time to walk and get fresh air.

I know it's wrong but My 600 Lb Life is a huge motivator for me

I also find My 600 lb Life motivating. I DO NOT want to be like one of them.

I really like Terri Saville Foy on YouTube she gives life talks and guidance. Hope inducing and she's like a best friend on YouTube. (She's a Christian). Her talks are very practical. I'm not religious but I find her videos inspirational.
