I have a crap memory so only for a couple of minutes. I do like them though.

I like the quotes very much, which is funny because I usually can't stand motivational speakers. Quality not quantity with them is best, I think

I also love training video montages. OMG. Seeing all the work that goes into great things is so inspiring to me for some reason

I don't like some of the disabled folks ones. I'm disabled, and it gets a little tiring to only be mentioned when one of us has climbed a mountain OTOH, some are just plain awesome. And hey, some of us do have to work much harder for it (usually not literally achieving Mt Everest, mind you), so yeah give some props where due

I find it really hard to be consistently motivated... it is just so helpful in those moments when I just lose all motivation...

Hi REMYAU. This is something I read about MOTIVATION and prepared my own photo-quote. Paraphrasing some intelligent person, it was said that we DO NOT lose motivation but the initial EXCITEMENT that starts us on a project. And this ALWAYS happens. So we need to find ways to excite ourselves again to continue the work required (just like you did by starting this post). To reach homerun we need to use our SELF-DISCIPLINE. We all have it. Examples given on self-discipline included going to work when we don't want to, paying bills, etc,



And here's another one I use when I don't want to go to the gym or work-out. My other go-to is choosing between results and excuses (which I've posted earlier.)


Hope this helps.

Thanks for the video..It is seriously good.
"Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that" - i loved this.
"But it ain’t about how hard you hit, it’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! " . This one also.
You have to be willing to take what life throws at you to become what you are supposed to be.

“I hated every minute of training, but I said, 'Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion'.”
― Muhammad Ali

This quote is one that I use to motivate me when I feel like skipping a session. Kind of like "Don't sacrifice what you really want for what you want right now". Really about focusing on long terms goals and looking at the bigger picture

Before I go on a long run, I write quotes and the names of the people I'm running for on the inside of my arms. As the run gets longer and more tiring, I look at my arm and keep moving. Some quotes I alternate:

Embrace the Suck
Everything Forward
I Got This
I Am Enough
Go Team (for Team in Training)
26.2 (or whatever mileage I'm training for)

It works best for me when I'm super tired, I'm getting achy and I need a visual reminder of why I took that first step and started that particular run, on that particular day.

Nah. I worked in a place that could have been, if I didn't know better, the company that churned out those 'motivational posters' from the way they spoke all the time. :laugh: Corporate wankery.

I bought a Weight Watchers brand scale, and it has a bunch of 'motivational quote stickers' that you can stick on to the scale, but they are all very girly... not really motivational for my boyfriend also trying to lose weight. YOU GO GIRL! :laugh:

That said, I do know plenty of people who are the type to post/share these quotes on Facebook and such. I don't bag them, it doesn't hurt anyone, and might even help them.

unknownexile

a quote that got me into training was "It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop' it pushes me and got me to today JUST GOTTA PUSH THROUGH!

Motivational Weight Loss Quotes may inspire you when you’re up in the clouds or feeling low. But i know that nobody can loose weight by reading these quotes. But it at times help us gain our lost confidence and belief.

LOL!!!

This inspired me 17 months ago when I began on MFP and someone posted his video here. I still go back and watch this every few weeks. It inspired me to run and to never quit. It made me ask the question: Why NOT me????

Go Ben!!

allprobeginner

BY "motivational", you mean I got off my touche and worked out?

Most of the time, not really. Not the traditional, diet type of quotes.
or this one, "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels".
Um no.

However, a genuine comment from friends or mentors can be.
Look to your own progress for motivation.
But 'motivated' or not, consistency and great form is most important.

Hello from Chicago. These two quotes are currently helping me stay on track! I WANT RESULTS, so I've been ditching my excuses! Found some free online photos that I liked and typed the "mottos" on the pics.

Love this!
