You only live once, why be miserable? Fat people are miserable -- you are carrying 50 lbs on your shoulders all day, you get a disease called pooped-out itis. Don't tell me that they are happy with the way they look and feel. I have to be honest, that is all I have.

Your age is the sum total of your physical condition, the condition of your mind, and how you feel.

Everything in life that's meaningful takes effort - takes vitality. You have to work at it. And God helps them who help themselves...help you.
Jack LaLanne
Exercise to live. Never live to exercise.
Jack LaLanne
You start out with an hour on the treadmill, then another hour of lifting - hell, in two weeks you're not doing anything anymore. You gotta be reasonable.
Jack LaLanne
Do you know how many calories are in butter and cheese and ice cream? Would you get your dog up in the morning for a cup of coffee and a donut?
