    Great idea tmacmoto! I love quotes. Here's one I found recently:

    “The trick is not how much pain you feel—but how much joy you feel. Any idiot can feel pain. Life is full of excuses to feel pain, excuses not to live, excuses, excuses, excuses.”
    —Erica Jong


    I completed day 3 today and my quads are so sore. But I feel so good! :)

    From the movie "G.I. Jane":

    Master Chief John Urgayle: Pain is your friend, your ally, it will tell you when you are seriously injured, it will keep you awake and angry, and remind you to finish the job and get the hell home. But you know the best thing about pain?

    Lt. Jordan O'Neil: Don't know!

    Master Chief John Urgayle: It lets you know you're not dead yet!

    Good morning to Day 4: Soreness here, but fading away! That's the good news! The better news is that we have 26 more days!
    Let's make them all count! No Excuses, No Whining, No Fear.

    Good morning fellow Shredders,

    If you made to Day 5, then Congratulations! If you feel that you're struggling, then remember we're here for you. If you feel that you didn't make it, but you're reading this...You made it! Good work. A lot of the soreness is gone for me and ready to kick some more. These can be tough times if we let them be. Let's make the most of what we can, modify where we have to, but most of all, see the big light at the end of the tunnel is not a train coming at us, but the vision of where you want to be:
    Here's your motivation for today:

    Ahh, Monday...Time to get re-motivated for the week. Time to put on the Big Girl/Big Boy Panties/Underoos/Squarepants....

    Don't let this past weekend be your weakness for this Monday. Dig deep, Dig in, and believe that you can do this.

    Day 7 has come and gone...so, what? Are you getting comfortable? Are ya getting scared because you know Level 2 is just around the corner? It's ok to walk away from your comfort zone and embrace the pain...it will soon leave your body. Remember, you can do this, because we're doing it with you!

    My daily reminder that I can do what I set my mind to and I will be doing it this time around. :). Don't let yourself be your own worst enemy.

    Ladies and Gentlemen...Welcome to the first 10 Days! Congratulations! You are doing great and you are kicking butt, hopefully your own or motivation is helping to kick someone else's butt. Good for you.

    Now, a lot of folks are expecting miracles in the first 10 days....and for those who have....Good for you and remember miracles come in all shapes and sizes. It can be a .2 lb loss, it can be couple inches gone from the waist line, it can be that you completed the whole level without one modification....regardless, be proud. And keep your eyes on the goal, because keeping your eyes on someone else's goals does nothing for you, unless you have their eyes...and well, that's kind of gross. Give back their eyes.

    Here's your moment of motivation...

    Thanks, it's actually a lot of fun. I read through the posts through out and see if there's a theme or I just create a theme for the moment of motivation. Here's to the next 20 days....Let's go kick some butt!

    Thank you!! Before I joined this group I wasn't too into the community aspect but I see that I was very wrong in doing things myself. Your motivation is contagious for me and THANK YOU for that! You ROCK!!

    No, thank you! It's good to know and to remind ourselves that what makes a community is a common goal sharing our pains and our triumphs, but it is reaching out and believing that we can and will make a difference in not only our lives, but in all of our lives.

    I believe that we have 20 more days of butt kicking left. Let's get to it!

    And if you think I rock, wait until you see me roll. (obvious, but couldn't help it)

    So, level 2 begins today for most of us...Don't forget why you decided to do this. Don't forget why you chose Jillian
    Michaels for your training...but just in case you forget, here's not so friendly reminder...

    And most of all, don't forget to come back here for that much needed push

    Here's your moment of motivation:

    A sore body today is a strong body tomorrow.

    I agree, pain is soooo overrated. Pride, on the other hand is your inner strength that we have the privilege to see on the outside.

    I totally agree with you. For some reason Jillian always makes me want to prove myself to her. At first I was like who is the b*atch but now I really grown to love her. I still yell not nice things about her when she make my abs burn but I really do love how much she motivates me.

    It's Friday! You've made it this far and you're on Day 2 of Level 2 and you're kicking some major butt out there. Good for you. Because, you know that you will not get anything just by wishing for it. You know, that you have to earn it by your blood, sweat, tears and a few good pointed cuss words at Jillian. (It's ok, I think she can handle it).

    And it's the weekend....Don't let your weekend, be your weakness. Don't let all the good, hard work you put in this week be destroyed....Maintain your focus, log your food in, and if you do have fun (as you should) make sure you log that in as well and never beat yourself up if you go over...that's why you paid Jillian.

    Here's your moment of motivation:

    Good morning! I like this one. I'm definitely guilty of wanting to be healthy and fit but not doing anything about it. But not anymore! I know I'm capable of getting to where I want to be and this time I'm going to actually accomplish my goal!!!

    Ugh I feel ya. I have just recently developed really bad allergies to trees, cats and dust. I get allergy shots once a week and they have really helped. :). Hope you feel better soon!

    I love this one. At one time I considered putting a picture of her in front of my treadmill for motivation.
