"If you want it enough, you'll find a way. If you don't, you'll find an excuse."
I say this out loud to myself every time I'm dithering about whether or not I want to work out or whether I want the cheesecake or the cucumbers.0 -
To embrace the Paleo diet and to recognise that you can't stick to it all the time!!! I feel great!0

No one's given me the best advice. I'm usually the one providing it. And I tell myself "I do what I want because I can. I'm just that great." It's applicable to everything in my life.0

- The difference between try and triumph is just a little oomph!
- Everybody has off days, just get back on the horse
- It's never too late to make a change - why wait until the next day? You can start whenever you like!
- Resistance equals results (from my spinning instructor)
- We didn't put the weight on overnight, we can't expect to lose it as quickly.
- Don't be afraid of strength training - you can't become the hulk by accident if you're female (even if you have PCOS!). I used to think strength training was a waste of time, because of the small amount of calories burnt whilst you're doing it, compared to cardio. Now I'm wiser, fitter and leaner, I know it's just as - if not more - important!0 -
Choose to lose weight, several times a day, everyday.

Best advice: "Stop complaining about "needing" to lose weight - get off your butt and do something about it!"!!0

:flowerforyou:To take it slow and be patient with this weight loss. My mom said in exact words "It didn't take you a overnight to gain that weight so don't expect yourself to lose it overnight." Love my mom!
I love this. Your mom is very wise:flowerforyou:0 -
It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

Falling down is part of life..Getting back up is part of LIVING.0

Exercise should be a reward for your body not a punishment - it makes it feel good and you feel good.
Eat Less Move More
Support is always better than going it alone.
The ONLY thing holding you back is YOU.0 -

"You've got three choices in life: give in, give up, or give it all you've got!"
"Do your best and forget the rest."
"Take it one day at a time, one pound at a time..."
"You are strong enough to do this."
"I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so you can learn to let go, things go wrong so you can appreciate them when they're right, you believe in lies so that you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together"

You are what you eat. Eat light and you'll be light. Eat heavy and you'll be heavy.0

And my mantra of the moment, "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels"
Amen sister!!!!0
