    Although not a motivational quote, it got me started and has kept me going.

    "You know how to do it."

    (best friend's response to "I should really lose some weight").

    So, based on that, I think a quote I read when I was a teenager (can't remember where... Google says "Mind Power: Remote Influence Techniques", meh) may have subconsciously worked in tandem with the above quote: "The only difference between a man who knows and a man who succeeds is practice."

    The one I have kept on my profile since I started:

    "I didn't change... I just woke up."


    For those that it doesn't help... Try some of this.....

    "I cannot tell you any spiritual truth that deep within you don't know already. All I can do is remind you of what you have forgotten."
    - Eckhart Tolle

    My sister came to visit for Thanksgiving and she said "If it doesn't challenge you...it doesn't change you."

    She said she heard it somewhere, so she is not the originator.

    One of my favorite advice quotes is "Show me who your friends are and I'll show you who you are." It sounds much nicer than "Lie down with dogs and get up wtih fleas."

    Oh and also "muscle weighs more than fat," "the scale is a liar, measurements for truth!"

    Laugh and the world will laugh with you. Cry, and I will give you something to cry about.

    Fat is hard. Fit is hard. Pick your hard.

    Some people want it to happen. Some people wish it would happen. Others make it happen.

    Pain is weakness leaving the body. If it doesn't hurt, you're doing it wrong.

    "Just for today"

    I will log my food
    I will exercise

    Focusing on one day at a time feels less overwhelming.

    a few of my favorites:

    the only difference between try and triumph is a little umph!

    nothing changes if nothing changes.

    if you always do what you always did, you'll always get what you always got.

    wake up. kick *kitten*. repeat.

    From the Geico commercial.

    "Ew!"
    "Seriously?"
    "So gross."
