Favorite Motivational Saying



Recommended Posts

Since we all need motivation at different times during any journey, I thought that it would be great to share our favorite sayings with each other.

We have all heard the "Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels", do you have one to share with everybody?

Mine is:

"Your sure can't get to where you are going by sitting on the couch"

I'm taking my own advice and going to exercise!:clap2:

"Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just stand there."

That's KEWL....I've never heard that one before and I LIKE it!!

This is one I came across in the past few months. I love Richard Simmons and he was on a documentary, the One Ton Man (I think that's the name) and I love what he said.

Food never solved any problems, past, present or future. -Richard Simmons

It's so true.

Here's mine. It's so corny but I was driving to work and billboard for an auto dealer has this saying. I thought that would apply to me.

"Not Whatever ; Whatever it takes"

I always follow some simple advice my Grandma used to tell me, which was

"You can't change ANYthing without changing SOMEthing". So bit by bit I have begun to make changes, small changes, to better myself, and my life.

If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten.

That's what inspired me to be brave and get banded rather than go on another diet.

I have a book I've started, so I'll post a few. Dr. Phil is by far my favorite when it comes to motivational quotes.

<!--fonto:Comic Sans Ms--><!--/fonto-->Dr. Phil<!--fontc--><!--/fontc-->

You create your own experience. If you want different you have to do different.

No one ever climbed a hill just by looking at it.

Create what you want by doing what you can.

To have what you want you have to do what it takes.

Break down your goals into manageable steps.

Change is slow...When it is real change, it takes time.

Stop justifying your inactivity and stop avoiding the challenge of change.

You can't change what you don't acknowledge.

Oprah Winfrey

Become the change you want to see.

Failure is just a way for our lives to show us we're moving in the wrong direction, and that we should try something different.

Tom Landry

Setting a goal is not the main thing. It is deciding how you will go about achieving it and staying with that plan.

John Wooden

Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.

Dottie Walters

Success is not a doorway, it's a staircase.

That's a good one. :biggrin1: I used to have it in my office cubicle at a job I was previously at. But it's funny, I didn't associate it with weight loss at the time.

I love quotes!! Let's see...

"Yard by yard, it's very hard. But inch by inch, it's a cinch."

-- Anon (but I bet he was on a diet!!)

"I'm not there yet, but I'm closer than I was yesterday." -- Anon (still on that diet)

"Instead of thinking about where you are, think about where you want to be. It takes twenty years of hard work to become an overnight success." -- Diana Rankin

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
