    Habit and a dose of OCD... I have long stretches where I really don't want to get to the gym and the last thing I want to do is move heavy assed weights around. However, I'm always happy/satisfied when I'm done. I also have my wife to consider. She basically goes when I go and when there are days where other obligations or illness prevent me from working out - she won't either. I motivate her and she motivates me. Having a workout partner really does help.

    This is one big one for me, too. I know health and mobility can be a complex issue, but seeing my dad have so many medical issues- especially those exacerbated by lack of exercise and poor diet- is a big motivator. Do not want to go down the same path.

    Fitting into my clothes again, feeling and looking stronger, wanting to be more active and stay active as I age. Like sunsweet77 I was invisible when I was larger. It's amazing and a little sad to see how much better I'm treated when I'm not a short, overweight, middle-aged woman. (Still short and and middle-aged, just no longer invisible!)

    To stick it to certain people in my life who told me I can't do it!
    I hate being told what I can and can't do.

    Plus I want to be healthy for many years to come. My mum has recently developed a few conditions that are associated with being overweight. I am so scarily like her in many ways, and I want to do my best to avoid a few of these similarities.
