    It's something I legitimately enjoy doing. I love going to the gym, running, and being active.

    I come from a long line of various unhealthy behaviors, I don't want that for myself.

    I choose to be healthy because... I would like to live to an active, ripe old age without the health problems associate with being out of shape / overweight / obese.
    I want to be active until the end of my life. I don't want to be old and setting around remembering the good times, I want to live the good times right up to the end of my time.

    I have been sick, injured, had hip surgery and been wheelchair-bound off & on for two years. I NEVER want to be like that again! That is why I CHOOSE to get back into top physical shape (for my 67 years) and be healthy again! Life is too short to watch it go by from a sitting position. Staying active and eating healthy is my lifestyle by choice.

    I choose to be healthy because... I've been both healthy and unhealthy and I can say that being healthy just feels so much better. I can't keep telling myself 'I'll get in shape tomorrow' because a thousand tomorrows have already come and gone and I haven't done anything about it. And being healthy and in shape is sexy at any age.

    I choose a healthy lifestyle because : 1) I need to feel like I'm in control of my life; 2) I'm hoping I can inspire others to do the same; 3) It feels good!

    I need to sleep! The only cure for my insomnia is regular exercise and I can't fuel exercise with all the burritos.

    My wife and our kids need me. Plus, my grand parents have lived to 90 and beyond. I want to have a better lifestyle when I'm older (e.g., wipe my own butt when I'm 105).

    I want to be a good role model for my kids. My lad sees me exercise regulaly and at the age of 4 he is already on the excercise bike. When I go running he wants to come with me :)

    I choose to live a healthy lifestyle because 1) it's good for me, 2) I love myself and my body, and if I want to live long enough to watch my grandkids have kids, then I need to take care of it, and 3) I love my workouts, and I can't imagine my life without them at this point lol.

    I've watched my mom's health decline over the last several as she failed to take care of her Diabetes. She's on dialysis now and it's awful. My 25-year old cousin got diagnosed with Diabetes over the summer. I don't want that.

    I choose to live a healthy lifestyle because I don't want to be fat anymore? :\

    I was tired of feeling yucky, inside and out. I want to lose weight. I want to look awesome in my wedding dress next month! Especially, because I want to live a long healthy life. Or if its a short one, at least it won't be because I was not eating good. Also, because I LOVE shopping for clothes and I get soooooooooooooo happy when I try something on and it looks awesome on me! It boosts my confidence thru the roof!

    The inches lost speak for themselves, plus I have drastically improved my cardiovascular health - RHR in the high 40s, blood pressure 85/54, HDL cholesterol is very high.

    Because I never want my fitness level to hold me back from doing anything. I want to be able to compete in sports and have a great time doing it. I want to be healthy and when I start a family, I want to set a great example.

    Because I enjoy working out. I love how it makes me feel and how I look. I love how it makes me look much younger that I really am. I want to live a healthy lifestyle so that I'm around for my kids and can be active with them.

    Because feeling lithe, strong, and nimble is so much better than feeling slow and bloated.

    I enjoy feeling healthy, it is fun, I would like to not only live longer but also live longer in a physically and mentally coherent condition, set an example for the younger people, make more responsible choices overall, replace the urge to do bad things such as drink too much or raise hell, be ready and prepared for anything, work harder and faster, feel youthful, not afraid to look in the mirror, be able to take care of others if needed, pretend I am young, not pass up a good time that requires physical fitness, and on and on and on.

    I just love the idea that I can do things at 44 years old that I couldn't do at 20. I weighed less back then, but my strength and stamina were nothing compared to the present day.
