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:

Y'all are gonna hate mine, but I have printed and stuck to my fridge "Don't Be Stupid!"

it keeps me going. lol

Ooooh I have several favorite quotes!!! Here we go!

You must begin to think of yourself as becoming the person you want to be.

David Viscott

Your goals, minus your doubts, equal your reality

Ralph Marston

You're never beaten until you admit it.

Patton

It's not whether you get knocked down; it's whether you get up.

Vince Lombardi

Rule your mind or it will rule you.

Horace

The difference between try and triumph is just a little umph!!

Marvin Phillips

Kiss

Keep

It

Simple

Stupid

Two of my favorites:

1) The only way out is through

2) From an old Indigo Girls song:

Now I know a refuge never grows

From a chin in a hand in a thoughtful pose

Gotta tend the earth if you want a rose.

<DT>I have always thought of this quote as my work related quote, but now I believe it's my "life quote"....</DT>

<DT><DT>"Success is not the result of spontaneous combustion. You must set yourself on fire." ~Reggie Leach <DT><DT>

It makes me remember that I have to work to get where I want to be - in all phases of my life.

Never Judge a book by it's cover.

If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.

Happy moments, praise God.

Difficult moments, seek God.

Quiet moments, worship God.

Painful moments, trust God.

Every moment, thank God.

God never told you to be stupid. (old jewish proverb)

Never give in, never surrender. (Galaxy Quest)

MY VERY ACTIVE DADDY DIED AT A YOUNG AGE, REALLY HIT ME HARD :think SINCE THEN I'VE LEARNED, NEVER TAKE LIFE FOR GRANT, LIVE LIKE NO TOMORROW :eek:

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!" <O:p</O:p

My favorite is on my sig. Be bold, true, stout-hearted, and brave. To me this means: Be bold in everything you try, true to everyone around you, stout-hearted so you don't give up, and brave enough to change.

It is something I made up a while back to engrave on a ring that I wear everyday...

"Just the Middles"

Taken from FlyLady. She talks about just vacuuming the middles of your carpet, don't worry about the corners and behind the sofa. You'll get to that. Don't get overwhelmed...just worry about the middles.

So I apply that to all kinds of things throughout my day. For weight loss, it's about being okay if it isn't perfect. The perfect day has 1200 calories, less than 130 carbs, less than 30 fats, more than 60 protiens (or whatever), I have exercised hard for an hour and my entire house is clean. Yah, right. Just the middles. It's OKAY!!!!!!

Life is a journey and too many of us are camping!

It's insanity to do something the same way over and over and expect a different result. (maybe A.Einstein?)

This confirms for me that the band was the way to go. I didn't need another try at diets, pills, ww groups, etc WITHOUT the proper TOOL!

Terry :eek:

One of my favourites, sweet and simple:

If not now, when?

" No matter where you go... There you are."

Buckaroo Banzai
