    Some great quotes posted here! This is my current favorite, and although it isn't specifically about health/weight-loss it really gets me fired up to reach my goals.

    "Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." - Marianne Williamson

    you should listen to a song by a guy named "Keb Mo'" its called "let your light shine" and I love it! your quote reminded me of the song...the lyrics go.....So get out of the way and let your light shine, let your love show....its a short ride, down a long road....

    One of my friends here posted it. I think it was Holly. "The hardest part is lacing up your sneakers." Whenever I don't feel like working out I think about that now.

    Another one someone posted that I like: "Every minute you spend sad you lose 60 seconds of happiness."

    I posted this one on my page the other day after reading it on a friend's Facebook page:

    Watch your thoughts, for they become words. Watch your words, for they become actions. Watch your actions, for they become habits. Watch your habits, for they become character. Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.

    "When the power of love overcomes the love of power...the world will know peace." Jimi Hendrix That is my all time favorite quote, but one that motivates me is,

    I'm concentrating on staying healthy, having peace, being happy, remembering what is important, taking in nature and animals, spending time reading, trying to understand the universe, where science and the spiritual meet. Joan Jett

    It's pretty deep but it reminds us to enjoy the journey.

    Don't laugh but that made me tear up. It truly spoke to me!
