    Sometimes reading the quotes on people's signatures really motivates me for the day. I wanted to know what everyone's favorite fitness or motivational quotes are that are helping them along the way. It can be from anything, books, tv, songs, someone else's signature, etc !

    I love that one, Midwife!

    Can somebody remind me what's the correct version of the quote from 3FC? It as something like

    Being fat is hard. Exercising is hard. Pick your hard.

    Anyone remembers?

    As a food addict, I find this quote sums up my relationship with food:

    "Quod Me Nutrit Me Destruit."
    What nourishes me also destroys me.
    -found on a portrait of playwright Christopher Marlowe

    "You tolerate that which you are not willing to change"

    "Make a change that will improve the quality of your life"

    Two that really make me stop and think.

    "Live every week like it's shark week" - Tracy Jordon on 30 Rock.

    Seriously, it's my biggest motivator when I try to procrastinate something.
