So I have made up my mind. I am going to make up a huge sign with my current pics with some motivational quotes. It will be the first thing I see when I wake up and the last thing I see when I go to bed. I feel the constant reminder should keep me on track this time. Question is... What are some great quotes that I could use???

    The quote that has motivated me the most so far is "If you want it, you'll find a way. If you don't, you'll find an excuse." I say this to myself almost daily, any time that I feel like eating something bad or skipping a workout, and it really helps me stay on track because I really DO want it!

    If you want it, you'll find a way. If you don't, you'll find an excuse.

    Just became my g-chat status. It'll be good for not chatting during my last semester of law school, too :wink:

    I have to disagree with that one. I've been skinny. Chili's Jalapeno Smokehouse Bacon Big Mouth Burger is way better! :wink:

    I like the Yoda quote. :laugh: Another favorite is "Fortune follows the brave." Success won't come and get you. You've got to make it happen.

    Sorry I have another one: "Slow and steady might not win the race, but it's the scenic route to get to the destination. Enjoy the ride!" My grandma used to say that to me when I was rushing through school projects lol!

    I have had these 3 in my bedroom for years. Not necessarily weight related but these have been my favorite quotes. :bigsmile:

    on facing Difficulties:
    You cannot direct the winds but you can adjust your sail.

    on facing Challenges:
    Unless you flap your wings you will never know how high you can fly.

    on our Attitude:
    Your mind is like a parachute, it works best when it is open.
