    Can't stand them; they remind me too much of those cheesy work inspirational posters. Now progress or the being close to achieve a self-imposed milestone really motivates me.

    From a milk commercial:

    "It's better to have a body in shape than to obsess about the shape of your body."

    Been on my fridge for a long time. When I stop looking at it, I am in trouble and I know it but I decide to ignore that fact.

    Phooey to me.

    Quotes can be inspiring.

    Free tip- when I'm really really really lacking motivation- I watch an action movie where a fit girl kicks *kitten*, ie Alien, Underworld, Anything with Michelle Rodrigues. It makes you want to work out hard. Works every time

    That is an awesome tip!! Next time Im not in the mood - Underworld is going on!

    Not quotes but the movies...

    Yes Man

    peaceful warrior

    had a profound effect on my outlook on life

    If you haven't read Yes Man then you should. It changed my life. The abomination of a film nearly changed it back again, but not quite.

    Results inspire me. Quotes, not so much. When I shave some time off my lap, when the scale moves, when I'm able to do just one more rep or add more weight: That is what really gets me fired up!

    These three quotes keeps me motivated.

    Every breath is a chance to make a better choice.

    Every plateau is followed by a breakthrough.

    Consistency is key.

    yeah, I love motivational saying (as you can tell from my profile pic) haha

    I find them inspiring when I'm feeling down.. but some can be really generic and cheesy..
    but then you'll come across a really heartfelt, beautiful quote.

    one that stand out to me is:

    "never let your fear decide your fate" from the awolnation song, kill your heroes

    I'm not usually inspired by quotes, but some of them make me laugh, and that's just as important. I do like this one, though:

    Not a huge fan of quotes but this one keeps me on the straight and narrow.

    "the cost of excellence is discipline, the cost of mediocrity is disappointment"
