hey everyone I just wanted to start a list of motivational saying that we have all heard or seen! I figure it may help motivate some people more!
here are a few of mine

You're only 1 workout away from a good mood
All the pain you feel today will be worth it on the scale tomorrow
Sweat is fat crying!
A huge part of losing weight is believing you CAN do it and realizing it's not going to happen overnight!
It's not about having time! It's about making time!

    It never gets easier. You just get better!

    If you are tired of starting over, stop giving up.

    My favorite was given to me by an older gentleman at the pool...I was telling him that I don't swim "pretty" or fast, but it is a start. He got quiet and said -- "Don't worry about anyone else. Look at it this way; you just lapped every single person sitting on the couch doing nothing." It really helped me to hear that from a stranger. So now, instead of being self conscience in my bathing suit, I am proud I am in one and doing the work! :)

    You don't have to go fast, you just have to go.

    Even when you fall on your face, you're still moving forward...

    And this one is simple: Do what you say you're going to do.

    - Don't be upset by the results you didn't achieve from the work you didn't do.

    - That voice inside your head that says "you can't do this" is a LIAR.

    - If it doesn't feel hard, it isn't.

    And something good to remember, even if it's not necessarily related to fitness:

    - Be yourself. Everyone else is taken.

    I don't remember where I saw or heard this one, but it made me stop the excuses.

    Your journey starts today, not yesterday.

    It reminds me not to regret bad choices, just move past them.

    "You were great once. Time to be great again>'
    T.E. Lawrence

    This quote reminded me of my glory days playing high school football and going on 120 mile bike rides in college. Having gained 50 pounds over the last 30 years I can't ride 120 miles in one day on a bicycle anymore....not just yet.

    Replace the phrase "I don't have time" with "It's not a priority". You will be amazed at how much harder it is to tell yourself "Working out today isn't a priority".
