Let's switch gears and talk about some of the songs that might have inspired us on our weight loss journeys. Even though the songs may not be about weight loss per se, maybe they have a special meaning for you?

I listened to these two songs every single day during the year I was losing weight:

There Will Come A Day - Faith Hill

It's not easy trying to understand
How the world can be so cold, stealing the souls of man
Cloudy skies rain down on all your dreams
You wrestle with the fear and doubt
Sometimes it's hard but you gotta believe

There's a better place, where our father waits
And every tear he'll wipe away
The darkness will be gone
The weak shall be strong
Hold on to your faith
There will come a day

Win - Brian McKnight

Dark is the night
I can weather the storm
Never say die
I’ve been down this road before

I’ll never quit
I’ll never lay down
See I promised myself I would never let me down

(chorus)
So I’ll never give up
Never give in
Never let a ray of doubt slip in
And if I fall
I’ll never fail
I’ll just get up and try again
Never lose hope
Never lose faith
There’s much too much at stake
Upon myself I must depend
I’m not looking for a place or show
I’m gonna win

Other faves:

Right Now - Van Halen

Right now, hey
It's your tomorrow
Right now,
C'mon, it's everything
Right now,
Catch a magic moment, do it
Right here and now
It means everything

Tonight And The Rest Of My Life - Nina Gordon

I feel so light
This is all I want to feel tonight
I feel so light
Tonight and the rest of my life

Runnin' Down A Dream - Tom Petty

Runnin' down a dream
That never would come to me
Workin on a mystery,
Going wherever it leads
I'm runnin down a dream

Remember The Name - Fort Minor (awesome weightlifting song )

This is ten percent luck
Twenty percent skill
Fifteen percent concentrated power of will
Five percent pleasure
Fifty percent pain
And a hundred percent reason to remember the name

[boarderchick]

"We can be heroes, just for one day." David Bowie

[Meg]

Oooh, I like that one - just downloaded it.

[Lydia227]

Speaking of Bowie, CHANGES has been played quite a bit on my iPod during the past year. Corny I know but there it is. LANDSLIDE by the Dixie Chicks as well. Probably the only song listed as "country" on my iPod.

[Depalma]

My favorite for inspiration right now is "Lift" by Shannon Noll. A shortened version was used as the opening for the Australian version of the The Biggest Loser.

"Lift"

I know you're hurting
Feels like you're learning
'Bout life the hard way
And it ain't working

Seems like forever
That you've been falling
It's time to move on
You're life is calling, yeah

This was never meant to be the end
Close the book and start again

[CHORUS]
Cause I know how hard it can get
But you gotta lift
You gotta lift
And sometimes that's how it is
But I know you're stronger
Stronger than this
You gotta lift
You gotta lift

When you can feel your
Whole body's aching
What's left of your heart
It won't stop breaking
You gotta let go
You took a hit
Time to pick up now
Move on from this

This was never meant to be the end
Close the book and start again

[CHORUS]
Cause I know how hard it can get
But you gotta lift
You gotta lift
And sometimes that's how it is
But I know you're stronger
Stronger than this
You gotta

Lift yourself up above all the hurt
Don't give it
Wipe your eyes and remember
You're better than this
Let them know
That they took their best shot
And missed
C'mon and lift

This was never meant to be the end
Close the book and start again

[CHORUS]
Cause I know how hard it can get
But you gotta lift
You gotta lift
And sometimes that's how it is
But I know you're stronger
Stronger than this
You gotta lift
You gotta lift

Pick up now...
Pick up now...

cardio: part-time lover - stevie wonder

cool down: that i would be good - alanis morrisette

[Grumbleworts]

I'll admit to a playing "My Love" and Sexyback from Justin. I also like the timelessly cheesy one more time
Others on my playlist:
-Holding out for a Hero
-O Fortuna from Carmina Burana
-Dirty Laundry and Muddy Water from Seventh House
-Explosive by Bond
-Escape from Hellview by CKY
-Geek in the Pink by Weezer
-Little Drop of Poison
-Mi Morena by *sigh* Josh Groban
-Canto Allo Vita
-Remember Me
-Never Let Go
-Transylvania Concubine by Rasputina
-Ride of the Valkyries by Wagner
-You're Easy to Dance with by Danny Kaye
-Maneater by Nelly Furtado
-Dragostea Din Te by O-Zone
-Down by Gravity Kills
-Copa Cabana


As for inspirational, I can't pick one song, altho lately I do love Josh's new "Don't give up (you are loved)" Its an amazing song, and it always gives me a lift. Otherwise, most of my moving pieces are classical ones. I love Carmina Burana, and it always gets me moving.

Music is the way to keep motivated. I always tell myself to get through just ...one...more...song when i really want to stop.

[oc cutiepie]

I love music so I had to chime in on this topic. Here are some songs I love to workout to:

La Tortura; Whenever, Whatever and Hips Don't Lie by Shakira

Mama Said Knock You Out - LL Cool J
Animals - Nickelback
Love Is Neverending - Brad Paisley
Walk - Pantera
Heaven's on Fire - Kiss
10,000 Angels - Mindy McCreedy
Fallen Angel - Poison
Tiny Dancer -Tim Mcgraw
Cowboy; Fist of Rage; Welcome To the Party - Kid Rock
My Worst Fear - Rascall Flatts

Maneater - Nelly Furtado





Cool down:
Neon - John Mayer
Luv U Better - LL Cool J
Curious George Soundtrack

[futuresurferchick]

I love all the song ideas on this thread, it's great.

A song that has always inspired me is "You're A Superstar" by Love Inc. It's a great tune to work out to. Very cheesy, very inspiring.

[doIlookfat?]

I love this song for motiviation...

Watch Me Shine - Joanna Pacitti

It was on Legally Blond. Does anyone remember it?

Heidi

[NotTheCheat]

I really like Watch Me Shine too. That is a great song.

"I Choose" by India Arie featuring Bonnie Raitt is a great song off her new album:

"And I choose to be the best that I can be.
I choose to be authentic in everything I do.
My past don't dictate who I am.
I choose.

Because you never know where life is going to take you
And you can't change where you've been -
But today, I have the opportunity to choose."

One of my other favorites is from the Lost Boys soundtrack - "I Still Believe" by Tim Capello.

I also love Weapon of Choice by Fat Boy Slim, mostly because of the video. It inspires me with the idea of being able to just break into dance if I am moved to - to be able to use my body to express myself. The video is here:

[RockerGirl]

Here is some lyrics for you all to check out.

I’m looking for the answers
In my undiscovered soul
Searching for the truth
In stories better left untold

(Chorus)
My once unbreakable spirit
Is reaching up to heaven
For a reason to believe
For what is meant to be

What do you think?????

pardon me, while i drool all over your playlist...


as for inspirational lyrics, hmm... haven't pinpointed that, yet. my whole life is heavily inspired by music, so it's hard to choose just one or two songs.
