What motivates me (in order of importance):
1) Vanity
2) I don't want to be a weak pansy
3) My wife is hot, so my ugly mug better at least keep a good body
4) My boys will be over-testosterone teenagers like I was. I don't want them stronger than me or to best me in any physical sport when they are in high school
5) Better to instill the fear of God in boys that my daughter dates when she gets of age
6) Vanity
...
...
10) Want to stay healthy

Being 52 with a 3 year old daughter.

When she's 16, I'll be 65.

I need to stay in shape to intimidate teenage boys.

This should be interesting.

It all depends on how much you want to put into it.

It works if you have the patience and discipline to stay on track to the overall goal.

Personally I've always been semi athletic so I'm always looking to work out in some way. Eating right is another issue altogether but I believe in moderate eating. I try to eat healthy and stay away from sweets and drinking during the week unless for a special occasion but I still limit it.

The problem I've always had is when people say "I've gotta start this diet". To me you're already setting yourself up for failure because you're already telling yourself that you have to do something that you don't really want to do. However, if you make a lifestyle choice by incorporating more vegetables and organic food into your diet then you're trying to live for the rest of your life rather than make a weight like you're some fighter.

It's about finding a system that works for you and at the end of the day you just gotta say **** it. I like who I am at whatever weight that is. Weight like age is just a number. Confidence is sexier than how you look so stick with that.
The conversations will be uncomfortable, but we all have to get comfortable with being uncomfortable for progress to be made.

competition, with myself, with other nerds at the gym, with other nerds in life, and so that maybe it will translate to beating other nerds in athletic events.

I have lost and maintained a significant weight loss for some time now and hover around a BMI of 19ish. While I know I could weigh more and still be healthy, I honestly just like being skinny. I feel more confident and like the way clothes look on me now. Also, health is a motivator of course, but more in the sense that I don't want my body to hold me back from anything I want to do or try. That would be a big reason I work out. It makes me feel more capable and up for anything if that makes sense. Also, just an observation but it's amazing how differently you are treated when you are fit.

This really isn't true, just something that fat people say to feel better about themselves and put off the body shamers. In truth, being overweight is a bad thing health-wise, and that's science.

That does make sense and resonates with me a bit now that I see it in print. And makes me think of my dad and a conversation we just had in which he was saying that now-a-days he tries to do things like lift cartons of water or Gatorade and then realizes that's not something an 86 year old man should be trying to do. I'm not even 60 yet and I don't want to start thinking like that yet, so I need to get in shape to be able to do stuff without thinking I can't because I'm not able to.

Texas summers suck bad enough as it is. Being fat would just make them worse.

Being old is a bad thing health-wise as well. Studies have shown that the older you get the closer to death you are.

Someone on the hf board nailed it when they said that by the time they get to work in the morning and they have already put in and hour and half in the gym they could look around and realize they're better then everyone else

My wife and kids. I can't be a leader of my family and be a slob.

I want to live long for my kids, and I want to be in shape because, while I like a larger woman, I don't want a fupa getting in the way of my wang during sexy time with my wife.

Health- I would prefer to stay off meds as long as possible.

Activity- I really enjoy physical activity especially for vacation. Really hard to enjoy hiking, snow skiing, rock wall climbing, etc if you are totally out of shape.

Mental Health- I hate missing a few work outs, really effects my affect.

True, but you can't do anything about getting older. You can, for the most part, do something about being overweight.

Technically, a fupa is a female thing...

Well, since it's actually an acronym, and one of the words refers to a part of female anatomy....

Shame and low self esteem and confidence. Take frustrations and failings out on yourself physically. The opposite of eating and being sedentary when you fail.

I mess up, I haze myself in the gym and kitchen.

Probably not the healthiest. But it works.
