My story is similar to many. When I was young I looked up to 3 people, Arnold, Sylvester and Jean Claude. These three possessed what I felt was the ideal physique for a man.
They provided the motivation, the rest has been trial and error as I have not had anyone to guide my along my quest.
Why I Love It:
I love the strength and confidence that comes with bodybuilding. I love the discipline you must have and the payoff is well worth the investment. There is no other investment you can make that will return with such dividens.
You get what you put it. Be intense, be dedicated and go heavy or go home.
How I Stay Motivated:
My motivation comes from within. In our minds eye, we all have a specific mental image of ourselves we would like to see in the mirror. The closer the image in the mirror comes to matching the one in my minds eye, the greater the motivation.
The praise of my wife and fellow bodybuilder can also help a great deal.
Each time I set foot in the gym my goal is to outdo my last workout. Each day I make progress, even if it is one more rep or 5 more pounds. Seeing weekly progress will certainly keep you motivated and pressing on.

This is what not working out and eating right do to you.
Took 2+ years to rebuild what I destryoed in 5+ years.
After coming back after a 5 year period. I needed to loose the fat, regain my strength and definition and get my head in the game. Now that I have done that, my long term goal is to weigh 200 lbs at 7% body fat.
What is your favorite "healthy" dessert? Give the recipe if applicable.
When I was cutting my favorite treat was a little Scivation creation called "Sludge". You combine one or two scoops of chocolate whey protein with two tbsp of peanut butter and add a little water or skim milk as you stir it together. You don't want too much liquid so it retains its "sludge" consistency. After mixed, set in the freezer about 15 min and enjoy, slowly.. ;-) You can also add glutamine or BCAA's for an extra kick.When I was cutting my favorite treat was a little Scivation creation called "Sludge".

Do you tell your friends and/or family about your fitness goals?
Yes
Why or why not?

Anyone who knows me knows I eat a lot of protein. In fact, right now my diet is 70% protein 30% fat. For those who are curious, I am on the C.H.A. diet (www.scivationbooks.com) For me, one of the easiest sources of protein to cook and consume is the incredible egg. I have always...

no problem, underneath their rep bar, there are 3 symbols, the silver balance scale symbol in the middle is the rep/neg.
Great work on your last 2 years by the way!
Probably, because they don't want to shell out the cash for you when you win. I've only watched it a few times and most of the guys are kind of smallish or don't appear to have a lot of strength.
