      I'm always on Pinterest looking for motivational quotes... Here are some I really like:

      1- "Because your body is a temple, not a trash can."
      2 - "Eat for the body you want, not the body you have."
      3- "If you don't want to keep starting over, stop giving up."
      4- "Do not reward yourself with food. You are not a dog!"
      5- "There are 7 days in a week and 'Someday' isn't one of them."

      :-)

      I don't have just one, but here are a few of my favorites:

      "The biggest failure of all is never having tried in the first place."

      "Anything worth having is worth any effort put forth to obtain it."

      "Pain is weakness leaving the body."

      "Dreams become goals when action is taken toward achieving them." (I put this one on my ticker.)

      "Transformation is not a future event. It is a present activity." (from workout 1 of JM Ripped in 30)

      That's the only one I can think of right now. I do have "you are stronger than you think you are" and "GO TO THE GYM!!!" written on my bathroom mirror in red lipstick though. :tongue:

      As for me, my favorite motivational saying is simply, "I'm living for me."

      "The hardest step is the one out the front door."

      Leaving the house is actually relatively easy compared to a run or a long ride, so sometimes if I can just get myself out the door with the intention to exercise, the rest takes care of itself.

      Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels

      I HATE that saying. It's such crap. I ate French fries the other day (something that only happens a few times a year) and I actually said "whoever said 'nothing tastes as good as skinny feels' clearly has never had piping hot, super salty, fresh French fries." :tongue:

      I workout so I can eat the treats I love (in moderation) and stay in shape! I loooooove food.

      But I digress. Carry on. :smile:
