    I have two that I have used on this weight loss - exercise journey:

    I will beat her, I will train harder, I will eat cleaner, I know her weaknesses, I know her strengths. I've lost to her before, but not this time, she is going down. I have the advantage because I know her well, she is the old ME.

    The more I run, the more I love my body. Not because it is perfect, far from it, but because with every mile it is proving to me that I am capable of more than I ever thought possible.

    You can't outrun your fork.

    This time next year, you'll wish you started today.

    A goal without a plan is just a wish.

    A tiger doesnt lose sleep over the opinion of sheep.

    You dont fling yourself down the flight of stairs just because you trip on the top step (i.e. "I already screwed up my diet this morning, may as well eat what I want the rest of the day... hell may as well start over on Monday now..." - NO, move on immediately!)

    The question isnt who is going to let me, its who is going to stop me.

    Tell the negative committee that meets inside your head to sit down and shut up.

    Stop letting people who do so little for you control so much of your mind, feelings and emotions.

    If we all threw our problems into a pile and saw everyone else's we'd grab ours back.

    The best ab exercise is 5 sets of stop eating so much crap.

    I love sleep because its like a time machine to breakfast :)

    On particularly rough days when I'm sure I cant possibly endure, I like to remind myself that my track record for getting through bad days so far is 100%, and that's pretty good.

    My father says the same thing. Very true observation on life.

    Ok. so a lot of you have super awesome sources for your quotes. One of my favorites is actually a Lorde song lyric from her song Glory and Gore. It's "You can try and take us, but victory's contagious."

    So true! A win in any part of your life tends to duplicate in others. Just get something good going and it continues with the right attitude!

    It took more than a day to put it on. It will take more than a day to take it off.

    Sweat is FAT crying

    Today I will: work out and get stronger; nourish my body with healthy foods; get one step closer to achieving my goals; take a moment to appreciate my life; start planning for tomorrow

    "I must not fear.
    Fear is the mind-killer.
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my fear.
    I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
    And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    Where the fear has gone there will be nothing....only I will remain"

    -Litany Against Fear, Dune

    ETA: Maybe I missed the point, but I love this, especially when facing irrational fears related to weight loss, like fearing I'll miss out on beer... or candy... or pizza and chips and 6-foot sub sandwiches and buffalo wings...

    My favorite: Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take- but by the number of moments that take our breath away.
