Motivate

I love the bodybuilding.com website, especially the  transform section. The before and after stories and pix are so motivating.
I especially love that it caters to all levels of fitness and they don't ignore beginners.  Check out this nice little piece about motivation:

1.  Recognize your drive.   Write down the reasons for your motivation down and put them around the house, car, gym bag or where ever you are most likely to see them.

Here's what's fueling my fire.  I want to feel better AND look better.  I want to wear cute clothes. I want to be strong.  I want to have killer arms and shoulders.

LOVE this before and after pic:
