Favorite Quotes

Instead of thinking about all the reasons why you can't do something, think about all the reasons why you can.

And of course. Do or do not, there is no try.

  1. I love the first one and I have lived by that for a few years now. I used to frequently talk myself out of things b/c I was scared or nervous but I have achieved so much since I have begun to talk myself into things instead!
    Have a great day!

  2. My favorite quote is my motto:

    "Life is not about finding yourself, life is about creating yourself."

    You are what are make yourself to be.

    Cheers,

  3. Dara, I really like that one.

    Here are a couple more I like...

    "Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it."
    Lou Holtz

    "Always look at what you have left. Never look at what you have lost." Robert H. Schuller

    That second one should be every widow's motto, I think. :-)

  6. Life, Welcome to the family.

    You'll find supportive friends here to help you, encourage you, and lift you up when you're down. We'll try to answer your questions if you have any.

    My biggest piece of advice at this point, is NOT to look at the 100 pounds you have to lose, look at the 1 pound or the 1 inch that you CAN loose. And when you lose that 1 pound and that 1 inch, look at the next pound and inch you CAN lose. 100 pounds looks like a huge amount of weight, but if you take it one pound at a time, it's not so intimidating. There is no magic diet here, no magic pill, just diet and exercise. If YOU do your part, your body will do its part. Get up and walk, if you can't do 30 minutes at one time yet, do 10 minutes 3 times a day, BUT DO IT! GET UP, MOVE, AND EAT WELL. And soon you'll be doing 'the happy dance' along with everyone else.

    Take care, friend.

    Rich
