Well...after a two year lay off it is time to hit the weights again. Marriage...new house...baby...all led to such a long break. I was 6'2" and 225...now I am down to 195. Any advice other than just grin and bear the pain? I will post pics every month to track progress. I guess that is the best way to stay motivated.

Good luck bro. I just got back into it myself. Avoid major soreness; don't train the way you did before your layoff; lighter, less sets and more bodyparts in one workout. See how sore you are an adjust next training based on it. Common sense but being very sore is not productive.
Keep us posted on your progress.

"motivation" is chemical related=seretonin
eat enough good foods to get in a good flood of serotonin in order to spike your mood to eagerly lift
just like there can be long days at work or there can be short more fun type days, all chemical related unless your getting hoes on the job ;)

Oh it might very well be but that tidbit never overrides the prime directive.

the prime directive is the brain wich is feuled by chemicals like seretonin /tesosterone wich generally run parallel/ dependent/correlate

In just a few short months of intense workouts, you can look as good as these guys and can rest easy knowing that you will never have to look as crappy as Jay "The Fridge" Cutler.

Full body workouts 3 days a week
5 sets of 5 slow reps(same weight all 5 sets) min/rest in between sets
1 exercise per body part
increase water intake
No protein shakes(use pasteurized liquid egg whites instead-egg beaters substitute etc- just drink them straight out of the carton)
No cardio at all

But Jack3d ....start working out ...after your first day you will be hooked again. Fact.

Look in the mirror that should be motivation enough to get unlike how you look...that's what I did...

You forgot your secret weapons, drugs, hookers and marriage guilt :)

How do any of those get me in shape? There is no more guilt.

That's because you worked it off. Guilt is an amazing motivator, almost as good as fear. You look way better than you did before no worries there.

Guilt is a beta trait, reeks of vah-jay jay.....

Down from 225 to 195 after a 2-year lay-off? I'm curious how quickly you will get the 30 pounds back? If you stay comitted and focused with your training I'm thinking about 3 months. On a side note are you sitting at roughly the same bodyfat? In my case, after a 6 month layoff I usually gain 10 pounds but lose probably 10 pounds of muscle, so even though I'm only 10 pounds heavier, I'm 20 pounds fatter.

Don't sit there and try to motivate yourself to get going. It doesn't work that way. Set yourself in motion and the motivation will arrive all on its own. It's magic.
-
Being out of shape should be motivation enough.
You know what sort of level you can reach when you put in the effort, and you can get back there again.

I've had breaks of 3 - 4 month (last one was 3 month when my baby son was born)
The best advice I can give you is to do as follows (worked for me)
1) Pick the date in advance - the date you will go to the gym.
2) Go in the morning, you want to make sure the first thing you do is hit the gym so you have no distractions, remember if you have a hard day work behind you and come home chances are you aren't going to workout but watch TV etc.
3) The day in advance get everything ready – have your workout stuff ready and packed – if you don’t get changed in the gym like I do simply have all your gear trousers sweatshirt etc ready.
4) Don’t think about it when the bell rings simply swing your legs out of bed (thats like 90% of the battle done) – make a coffee have a banana etc.
5) Do NOT logon to your laptop – chances are you get side tracked and you don’t go after all.
6) Instead put pumping iron in the DVD player and get inspired
Good luck

excellent advice and also applies to when you are into regular training.
I used to hate to train in the morning but these days I love it as you get a good start of the day and you aren't mentally tired after a long day at work which happens when you train in the evening. it's also easier to focus in the morning because the gym isn't as packed as when you go after work. the negative part is that you don't feel as warmed up but that is partly a matter of simply getting used to training in the morning.
I know alot of old school champions loved to train in the morning and I can now understand why.
