I just bought a 20lb container of cat litter and as I was hauling it into my house it occurred to me that that is how much weight I've lost since last August. I can't believe I was lugging that around every day. I started at 170.

Here's some quotes I've taken from others on the forum. If I feel discouraged or feel ugly/fat, I read these and remind myself that someday I will reach my goals. (It makes me sad reading some posts today on the main forum, people already getting discouraged or making crazy weight loss deadlines).

"if you focus on results, you'll never change. If you focus on change, you'll get results."

"Failing to plan, is like planning to fail".

"You can't out run your fork"

If anyone has some motivating quotes or stories, please share. Let's keep going strong.
