My motivation is this site and all the inspirational words that are posted. The one other thing I did to get motivated was upgrade my membership. More access to the site and a very helpful tool.

I want to look really great and then my clients would say "he looks good, maybe this really works" I guess i found out that i really want to help people (and myself) by learning more and more about fitness. :)

After I started to feel what strength was like (about 2 years in) I was hooked. I wish I had some before pics from when I was 20/21 (300+lbs and weak), to compare with pics now (230lbs and strong), there is absolutely no comparison -------------- This is SPARTA!!!

Resistance band training is fun but hard and I see results almost immediatly, and that motivates me even more. I feel GOOOOD, and there is no better motivator! -------------- ----------------------------------- Getting there... -----------------------------------

Both my parents were really heavy, and after watching all the work they had to go through to lose weight I've decided that I never want to have to be there, and I realized that the only way to prevent it would be to get healthy habits now. Then, as my metabolism starts to slow down I won't have to worry about becoming overweight.
