      It's not a quote, but a key a friend gave me with the word courage on it. I wear it almost everyday as a reminder that I have to go after what I want and not hide what I think feel or believe. The goal is when I no longer need the key I give it to somebody else who needs the reminder more than I do. It really does help and do does the company that makes the keys. You should check out their web site the givingkeys.com where they post amazing stories that are often really inspiring.

      Your desire to change must be greater than your desire to stay the same!

      My LOVE of food sent me on a quest to discover new foods that were good for me.
      It became an adventure, a hobby, not a denial thing...

      This one I found on Runner's World in regards to hills, but can be used metaphorically as well:

      "Each step is one step closer to the top."

      Although not a motivational quote, it got me started and has kept me going.

      "You know how to do it."

      (best friend's response to "I should really lose some weight").

      So, based on that, I think a quote I read when I was a teenager (can't remember where... Google says "Mind Power: Remote Influence Techniques", meh) may have subconsciously worked in tandem with the above quote: "The only difference between a man who knows and a man who succeeds is practice."

      The one I have kept on my profile since I started:

      "I didn't change... I just woke up."


      For those that it doesn't help... Try some of this.....

      "I cannot tell you any spiritual truth that deep within you don't know already. All I can do is remind you of what you have forgotten."

      My sister came to visit for Thanksgiving and she said "If it doesn't challenge you...it doesn't change you."

      She said she heard it somewhere, so she is not the originator.

      One of my favorite advice quotes is "Show me who your friends are and I'll show you who you are." It sounds much nicer than "Lie down with dogs and get up wtih fleas."

      Oh and also "muscle weighs more than fat," "the scale is a liar, measurements for truth!"
