    I did not have an actual weight loss motto, but 6 weeks ago I was feeling low and had a "now or never" realisation (I'm getting married in June). I had a serious talk with myself ;) but, for once, I didn't say a word about starting MFP or training to any of my family/friends/colleagues etc.

    6 weeks on and people are noticing that I'm down to a weight I've not been for 4 years - I was told I'm looking "chiselled" at a party yesterday. I told my fiancé this morning and he said he saw a quote on a board yesterday - it's my new training motto...

    "Don't tell people about your plans. Show them your results".

    I'll take that, thank you! Enough talking, more walking for me...

    From when I'd committed myself to this, what worked and keeps me on course: Dare!

    Eat; mostly plants and not too much. Stolen from a book's similar title, but it reasonates with me.

    As a daily reminder to check in with my headspace I will write "choose joy" on my left hand with a surgical marker.

    In terms of productivity I like, "we who cut mere stones must always be envisioning cathedrals".

    One saying I like and often use is "nothing to it but to do it."

    If I want to look like a fit person, I have to act (and eat) like one.
