Ask yourself every couple of minutes, 'Can I go harder? Can I do more?' You've got so much power. Show me.

Treat yourself like a fat person with aches and pains and a suitcase full of excuses, and good luck-you'll stay exactly where you are. Train like an athlete and, though you may not look like one now, you will become one.

When I hear health professionals suggesting that you shouldn't worry about the balance of calories in versus calories out, but rather eat clean and follow your hunger instincts, well, I really just want to pinch their heads off. That's like a millionaire suggesting that instead of worrying about that's in your bank account, just listen to your shopping instincts and buy high-quality goods . . . weight loss is not magic. To a great extent, it's accounting.

If you want it bad enough, you have to be willing to fight for it.

Treat yourself like an overweight, out of shape person and that's what you will be. Why not train and treat yourself like an athlete?

You're always a work in progress. Flexibility. Personality. Motivation. There's always room to improve.

What positive things have you said to yourself today? Acknowledge your greatness.
