Taking this for inspiration but different font and placement

I have 'cura te ipsum' written in Tim Burton's Nightmare before Christmas font on my hip. The latin proverb means 'cure thyself' as I used to have anorexia and it reminds me to cure what caused me so much pain, stress and anxiety. It reminds me to keep on the right path and have a normal relationship with food

I have one on the back of my neck that says strong soul in gaelic...has other means then weight loss such as hard life events but even through weigh loss i'm still strong.

<<< on my shoulder, to remind and encourage me.

I like 'Know thyself' as it indicates change on so many different changes, not just fitness and weightloss.

Either in Latin (nosce te ipsum) or ancient Greek (γνῶθι σεαυτόν)

Already got a tattoo in Greek so may well opt for Greek again.

Mine is "never again" in latin, with my starting weight in roman numerals, reminding me that I will NEVER go back there.

Might wanna spell check that one.

My cousin has just had this tattoo done with the meaning of 'free spirit' and 'there but for the grace of God go I'

Just your achieved good weight in roman numerals, as someone suggests above, is a great idea !

I'm thinking of getting one to celebrate my half-marathon, something like XIII.1 surrounded by a maple leaf on my calf.

That's really pretty and really creative! I love it

I got a tattoo back in February. It reminds me of how far I've come and that this journey never ends.

I got a tattoo two weeks ago to celebrate my success. It was just a viney sort of pattern on my side/ribs/hip, and I chose it because I always thought it would accentuate my body when I had lost weight.

And it looks awesome :-)

I wouldn't put letters or a saying on myself, for the same reason I wouldn't put a name on myself. It might not always be true... better that it means something just to you, and others can guess ;-)

I don't have any weight loss or text tattoos, but make sure you pick something you are going to want on you forever, pick a good shop and a good artist and ask to see their portfolios. If you want text, make sure they do steady line work.

The big koi on my back in my icon was a 7 hour tattoo session and it was a cover up that another tattoo artist messed up and changed my original drawing without telling me and it was on my back, so I couldn't see it

I haven't gotten one directly related to weight, but a reminder that no matter where I am in my life, I'm constantly evolving and changing as a person (which can now encompass getting healthier!). On my 36 birthday, I got an original design phoenix on my shoulder blade. At that point, I had been a mother for 1/2 my life, which is an experience that has strongly influenced who I am now. Like the phoenix, I am strong and am continuously learning, growing, and starting over...
