    The Kipling poem "If". Thats cheesy I know, but it works for me. What's worse is that I read somewhere he was probably trying to be ironic.

    Brides to be quoting " I don't want to be the fat bride "....I was the fat bride so when I hear that it reminds me of why I started on this weight loss journey and to keep going.

    It's almost a family motto for me-
    "The difference between possible and impossible is often in the man's determination"
    That and
    "Never let up"

    Honestly, I can't remember any of them, even the good ones. Maybe I'll find some in this thread!

    I've read every one of these. I'd say the top three go to...................
    3. Yesterday you said, tomorrow
    2. If it's important you'll find a way, if it's not, you'll find an excuse.
    And the winner!!!
    1. I don't stop when I'm tired, I stop when I'm done.

    I loved every single one. Doesn't matter what I say as long as it motivates YOU. At the end of the day you are the only one responsible for your health. Just felt like sharing my top 3 favorites.

    -Me, about 2 weeks ago.
