Here are some more fitness/fitspo and weight loss motivation pictures and quotes for you. I'll be posting these 'Most popular Motiveweight Pics' twice per month instead of just once per month....I'll see you back here around the middle of the month.

Think Fat Loss Not Weight Loss

Allow Yourself To Be a Beginner

You are so much more than what you see in the mirror.

I you're not lighting candles don't complain about being in the dark.

If you're too busy to workout then your priorities need to change

It doesn't matter how slow you go as long as you don't stop.

Some Of The Results You Want Are Just Weeks Away

No matter how much weight you want to lose or how fit you want to become, you can only get there by setting and achieving small goals along the way...some of these smaller goals are just weeks away from accomplishment. What small goals can you set today that you know you can achieve in the next few weeks?

Take One Step Forward No Matter How Small

Small steps lead to big change. As long as you make movement toward a goal, that's what matters most on your journey.

Take It One Pound At A Time

Just focus on the next pound as though it was all you wanted to lose, once that is achieved repeat the process until you reach your goal.

Focus On One Step At A Time

Successful weight loss is made up of many, many small changes of habit; if you focus on changing your habits one or two at a time, you're more likely to achieve success than if you try to change all your habits at once, only to see yourself as a failure when you don't succeed.

One or two steps at a time is how even the tallest staircase is climbed.

Just Take The First Step

Imagine a very long winding staircase is before you and imagine that at the top of that staircase is a wonderful treasure, something great that you've wanted for a very long time. Now imagine standing at the bottom of that staircase, thinking about the treasure and desiring this treasure with all your heart. At this point you know that the only way to acquire the treasure is to climb up the staircase but all you can do is stare at the staircase wishing you could/would climb it.

This analogy describes the dilemma that many of us face when we feel stuck on a plateau or paralysed by indecision and procrastination. We know what we must do but somehow we just feel stuck.

In reality if there was only a staircase keeping you from a great treasure that you desire, you would not just stand there, you would climb that staircase, step by step by step. No matter how tall that building was, you would climb and climb and climb.

Try to see your weight loss and fitness journey in the same way. See your journey as a set of small steps: Step 1. Get up. Step 2. Put on your trainers. Step 3. Open the door and go for a walk or a jog (or go to the gym, or get on your exercise machine, or put on your exercise video). Step 4. Exercise for a few minutes at first and on subsequent days increase the time you spend exercising. Step 5. Prepare a healthy, clean meal. Etc.. Etc..

Step by step is the way even the longest journeys are completed. Don't look at the whole staircase and feel bad about having to climb it all at once, you don't have to climb it all at once, you only have to take it one step at a time.

I'm Moving In The Right Direction

Even if I take one step back for every two steps forward, I’m still moving in the right direction.

Don't Aim To Be Perfect, Just Aim To Be Better

Rather than aiming to be 'perfect', just aim to be a little bit better today than you were yesterday.

Small changes can make a big difference. Every extra step you take helps. Always use the stairs or walk up the escalator.

Exercise On The Go

Exercise On The Go - I motivate myself to exercise by setting small goals for myself throughout the day....'Do lunges to the fridge; Heel raises while brushing my teeth. What small goals would you add to this list to inspire YOU to exercise on the go? Remember, If you're not yet ready to take huge steps, even baby steps will get you there eventually (if you never give up).
