Inspirational quotes to help us

I saw this on another site. How about we share some quotes that keep you inspired to continue.
Here are some I saw and please add yours:

-Junk food satisfies you for two minutes. Staying fit satisfies you forever

-There isn't an elevator to success, only stairs.

-If it was easy, everybody would be fit, so don't expect it to be a piece of cake

-A workout lasts 20 minutes. Being unhealthy can last forever

- The food you eat can either be the safest and most powerful form of medicine or the slowest form of poison

- Run when you can, walk when you have to, crawl when you must, but just never give up

- I may not be there yet, but I'm closer than I was yesterday

- Focus on how far you've come, not how far you have to go

    Thank you! This is the longest I've ever stuck to a program and today I had a really hard time when working out. Thank you for the motivation to keep going!

    Success requires payment in advance.

    Also like:
    You can't change the wrongs of yesterday but you can make the tomorrows better.

    Strength doesn't come from what you can do. It comes from overcoming the things you once thought you couldn't !

    The difference between who you are and who you want to be is what you do.

    Only One Pound

    Hello, do you know me?
    If you don't, you should. I'm a pound of fat,
    And I'm the HAPPIEST pound of fat that you would ever want to meet.
    Want to know why?
    It's because no one ever wants to lose me;
    I'm ONLY ONE POUND, just a pound!
    Everyone wants to lose three pounds, five pounds, or fifteen pounds, but never only one.
    So I just stick around and happily keep you fat.
    Then I add to myself, ever so slyly, so that you never seem to notice it.
    That is, until I've grown to ten, twenty, thirty or even more pounds in weight.
    Yes, it's fun being ONLY ONE POUND OF FAT, left to do as I please.
    So, when you weigh in, keep right on saying, "Oh, I only lost one pound."
    For you see, if you do this, you'll encourage others to keep me around because they'll think I'm not worth losing.
    And, I love being around you - your arms, your legs, your chin, your hips and every part of you.
    Happy Days!!!
    After all, I'm ONLY ONE POUND OF FAT!!!
