A Year of Daily Weight Loss Motivational Quotes for Weight Watchers

No matter where you’re at on your weight loss journey, these motivational quotes for weight loss will help you to get moving. Whether it’s a little or a lot, losing weight and keeping it off is no easy task.

Why are motivational weight loss quotes so important to our success?

Our thoughts are powerful. What we tell ourselves matters. 

When we’re happier with a positive mindset, we tend to make healthier decisions, including those that lead to weight loss—such as saying no to junk food, getting enough sleep, moving more, taking care of your body and eating healthy.

Unfortunately that voice in our head that says "give up" is usually louder than the one that says "keep going." So the next time you're feeling discouraged, read one of these encouraging, inspirational, motivational quotes to yourself to lift your mood. 

How can I get myself motivated to lose weight?

Losing weight and keeping it off isn't easy. But neither is being overweight and out of shape. 

As far as I'm concerned working to be in good health, in good spirits and able to fit into my clothes is WORTH the effort. After years of struggle I feel like I've finally unlocked the secret to lasting weight loss success:

1) Find your why. Have a strong reason for wanting to lose weight. For me it's all about being healthy, happy, and wanting to grow old gracefully and vibrantly. I want to be able to feel good so I can continue to travel and pursue my dreams. 

2) Do it your way. It's important to lose weight your way, not someone else's. You need to find changes that you are willing to make forever, not jus for a day or a week or until you've reached your goal. 

3) Focus on teeny tiny changes. It's much better to commit to a little change that you can actually accomplish regularly than a huge one that you are never able to get done. Years ago one of my favorite yogas told me to "only do as much yoga as feels good" because "a little yoga done often is better than a lot of yoga done rarely." Turns out this is the secret to any lasting behavior change. 

Celebrate you successes. We are hardwired to do what makes us feel good. Find healthy ways to celebrate when you accomplish your new habits, hit your targets and achieve your goals, regardless of how small they seem. This positive feeling can help propel you forward.

What have good health quotes got to do with it?

Top 10 Jack La Lanne Quotes for Weight Watchers

1) "It's a lifestyle, it's something you do the rest of your life – How long are you going to keep breathing? How long do you keep eating? You just do it."

2) "Everything you do in life, I don't care, good or bad – don't blame God, don't blame the devil, don't blame me, blame you. You control everything! The thoughts you think, the words you utter, the foods you eat, the exercise you do. Everything is controlled by you."

3) "How do you build up your bank account? By putting something in it everyday. Your health account is no different. What I do today, I am wearing tomorrow. If I put inferior foods in my body today, I'm going to be inferior tomorrow, it's that simple."

4) "The only way you get that fat off is to eat less and exercise more."

5) "There are so many health food nuts out there that eat nothing but natural foods but they don't exercise and they look terrible."

6) "We know today about nutrition and we know about exercise. There's no reason for anybody to be sick and tired, fat and out of shape -- it's ridiculous! This has got to be taught in the schools. It's got to be taught in kindergarten. That's when kids should first get the idea that the most important thing in your life is your health and your body."

7) "Virtually everything we do in life is a matter of habit. Habits make us who we are. Why not change your habits to better your life?"

8) "You need to make good health a hobby."

9) "Physical fitness takes commitment to exercise just as it requires good nutrition. But it doesn't have to be painful. Just the opposite: Vigorous exercise actually is stimulating. It boosts your energy levels, invigorates your mind, and just feels good afterward. The hardest part, of course, is getting started."

10) "Go on, have a glass of wine with dinner. What is wine, anyway? Pure grapes. A glass of wine is much better for you than a Coke."
