    I'm tired of using my injuries as an excuse. I want to be fully mobile and I want to feel my age. I don't want to feel old before my time.

    Well I'm a stay at home mom of two boys and when I couldn't play or keep up with them I knew I had to do something.
    That and I got tired of not being able to wear the clothes that I really want to.

    Not dying before my kids grow up is one of my major reasons.

    1 - noticed how unhealthy I've felt
    2 - hated how I began to look
    3 - wanted to begin to feel good about my appearance (and fit back into clothes other than sweats/jeans).

    Because being overweight is unhealthy, I feel less confident, and unattractive. As I become closer to what I want to look like I feel compelled to help others with their weight problems sharing my knowledge, my experiences in hopes of motivating others to not feel helpless, to go from I think I can to I'm doing it. And thus they share there experience with others, helping more people.

    Seeing 300 pounds on the scale again and saying I couldn't have gained 70 pounds. Looking at myself in the mirror and realizing I did infect gain 70 pounds. I have less space in my car and always feel uncomfortable. My back is killing me from carry around my belly and none of my clothes fit.

    I just want to be as healthy as I can be for as long as I can be.
    My health seems to closely follow what my mum has gone through, and weight/diet are possible causes for some of the other stuff she is dealing with, so I may as well start eating well now and maybe avoid some future problems (or at least keep to a minimum).

    This is me too - yes, I had a random accident and it has affected me a lot, for far longer than I thought it would, but I just want to get on with it and see what I CAN do now.

    I decided I needed to lose weight when I hurt my hip and every time I go to the doctors they tell me I need to lose some weight. To be honest I agree! So here I go....

    We got an alarm system installed on our new house complete with a doorbell camera. Seeing myself on the camera recording was honestly embarrassing. 2 summers ago I had lost about 25 lbs but I stopped logging and have gained weight back. I just didn't realize how much I had put on until I saw myself on camera.
    Now I need to figure out what box my food scale is hiding in :D

    I went back home to visit my family and at church I met my friend with my God doughter they were so exited and wanted pictures... In the pictures I looked so much older and so fat yet my friend looked so young and we r practically the same age.

    When my son was about 4, he took off running towards the open gate at the end of my driveway (he's 9 now). I live in the country, and you know how fast people drive (SLOW DOWN FOLKS. I LIVE HERE). I BARELY caught him before he got to the road, and that was NOT ok. I have been off track for a while now, thanks to an injury (damn Spartan races), but I can still catch the bugger. I'm not where I want to be...but I am better than I was.
