Well, I like a few and they all sort of sum up how I feel.....



I's Now or Never" in making the decision to have GPS

"I Will Survive" for the endurance of this journey.

"You've Got to Move It" for the commitment to excersize.

"I'm Bringin' Sexy back" for the attitude this transformation gives me!!

"Stayin' Alive" for the new healthy longevity I am ensured!!

Default Weight Loss Journey Song

An oldie comes to mind, a great R&B Sam Cooke song - (edited for this post)

It's been a long time coming
but I know a change is gonna come
oh yes it will

There have been times I thought
I couldn't last for long
But now I think I'm able to carry on

It's been a long time, but I know
a change is gonna come
oh yes it will

Hearing it sung by the great Sam Cooke is what adds so much to these words. It really hits home for me. Thanks everyone for sharing your song.

I LOVE that song! It's the first song on my iPod's "workout music" playlist.

When I grow up I want to be a Pussycat Doll.

Vanessa Carlton - "Watch Me Shine"

I’m not the reverends type of girl
I’m gonna show the world
The strength in me that sometimes they can’t see

I’m about to switch my style
And some things make it wild
But I prove that I can conquer anything...

So from my head to toe
I’m takin’ full control
I’ll make it on my own this time....
(Better watch me shine)

Better watch out goin’ for the knock out
And I won’t stop till I’m on top now
Not gonna give up until I get what’s mine
Better check back
I’m about to attack
And I’m hot now so you better step back
I’m takin’ over so watch me shine...
(watch me shine)

Uhh oh ohhh....
(Watch me )

So get ready here I come
Until the job is done
No time to waste
There’s nothing stopping me
Oh but you don’t hear me go
So now it’s time to show
And prove I’m gonna be the best I can be

So from my head to toe
My mind body and soul
I’m takin’ full control this time...
(So watch me shine)

Better watch out goin’ for the knock out
And I won’t stop till I’m on top now
Not gonna give up until I get what’s mine
Better check back
I’m about to attack
And I’m hot now so you better step back
I’m takin’ over so watch me shine...
(Watch me shine)

Ohh ohhh oh yeah yeah oh yeah yeah
(Watch me)
Uh uh

Betcha don’t think I can take it
But my mind and body are strong
Betcha don’t think I can make it
It won’t take long
(2x)

Now watch me shine......

Better watch out goin’ for the knock out
And I won’t stop till I’m on top now
Not gonna give up until I get what’s mine
Better check back
I’m about to attack
And I’m hot now so you better step back
I’m takin’ over so watch me shine...

(Keep in mind.. this is a love song.. but.. If you sing it to your fat self... it works)

Against All Odds (Take a Look At Me Now)
Phil Collins


How can I just let you walk away,
Just let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking
Every breath with you, ooh
You're the only one
Who really knew me at all

How can you just walk away from me,
When all I can do is
Watch you leave
Cos we've shared the laughter and the pain,
And even shared the tears
You're the only one
Who really knew me at all

So take a look at me now,
'Cos there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me,
Just the memory of your face
Take a look at me now,
'Cos there's just an empty space
And you coming back to me
Is against all odds and that's
What I've got to face

I wish I could just make you turn around,
Turn around and see me cry
There's so much I need to say to you,
So many reasons why
You're the only one
Who really knew me at all

So take a look at me now,
'Cos there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me,
Just the memory of your face
Take a look at me now,
'Cos there's just an empty space
But to wait for you,
Well that's all I can do and that's
What I've got to face
Take a good look at me now,
'Cos I'll still be standing here
And you coming back to me is against all odds
That's the chance I've got to take, oh, oho

Default I wanna play

this thread is an oldie but goodie

Theme song Little Earthquakes- Tori Amos
(is anyone surprised)

"Give me life Give me pain Give me myself again"

This short little improv has been going through my head all week whenever I start to feel down:

"Do you remember?
Oh do you...Do you remember?
You and Me
You there always there for me
here beside you
we know
we know who you are
who you are
who you are
when you shine
and you shine"


I love Donna's song. What a long, strange trip it's been And Bon Jovi's It's My Life. Perfect!

I'm sure your songs evolve as your journey evolves right? Do you guys still have the same ones? or perhaps found others that motivate you???

Bet On It from High School Musical 2




Everybodies always talking at me.
Evreybodies tryin' to get in my head.
I wanna listen to my own heart talkin'.
I need to count of myself instead.

Did you ever...
Lose yourslef to get what you want?
Did you ever...
Get on a ride and wanna get off?
Did you ever...
Push away the ones you should of held close?
Did you ever let go?
Did you ever not know?

Im not gonna stop that's who i am.
I give it all i got that is my plan.
Will I find What I lost
you know you can.
Bet on it.
Bet on it.
Bet on it.
Bet on it.
(Bet On Me)

I'm gonna make it right.
That is the way.
To turn my life around.
Today is the day.
And i'm the type of guy who means what i say.
Bet on it.
Bet on it.
Bet on it.
Bet on it.

How will i know if theres a path worth taking?
Should i question every move i make?
Of all lost's my heart is breaking.
I don't wanna make the same mistakes.

Did you ever...
Doubt your dream will never come true?
Did yoiu ever..
Blame the world that never blamed you?
I won't ever...
Try to live a lie again.

I don't wanna win this game if I can't play it my way.

Im not gonna stop that's who i am.
I give it all i got that is my plan.
Will I find What I lost
you know you can.
Bet on it.
Bet on it.
Bet on it.
Bet on it.
(Bet On Me)

I'm gonna make it right.
That is the way.
To turn my life around.
Today is the day.
Am i the type of guy who means what i say?
Bet on it.
Bet on it.
Bet on it.
Bet on it.
