I watched a VHS tape of Body for Life that my late brother had left in the VCR prior to his leaving for Indonesia/Australia for vacation. It was very motivational. I gained approximately 25 lbs over the summer. When my brother returned in August, he was really surprised at my transformation. In October 2000, he passed away in a car accident.

It makes you feel energized, in-shape, and young looking (People always think that I'm 5-8 years younger than my real age). The random compliments from strangers is nice also.
