I wish I would not have fell off the wagon and gained back the 10lbs I lost and have kept off, but mind you I have 50lbs in total to loose. These thighs and gut is giving me the blues. Lol

    I wish I would have enjoyed/loved my pre-baby body more. Three kids have done a number on me, and I thought badly of myself then. Looking back, I don't know wtf I was thinking

    That I'd enjoyed more sweets before deciding to get fit.....

    There are so many things we could say "in retrospect" for, but the fact is if anything was done differently my life would be different and I might not have the children and grandchildren I have today, so I wouldn't change a thing no matter what hell I've been through or what might have been!

    I wish I would've walked away 7 yrs ago and save myself from the uncertainty that came with staying.

    Stuck with sports. I got out of competitive playing in my early 30's. I should have stuck it out or picked up a different hobby. I miss the activity and the social aspect.

    I am at almost 20 years for that.

    I spent more time at maintenance than going straight to a powerlifting peaking program and using it as an excuse to get fat.

    I wish I had gone to the gym this morning so I wouldn't have to go this evening.

    Me too. Because I would have enjoyed it better verses I've got to

    I wish it wasn't socially unacceptable for males to shave their legs. I love the freedom. Yeah, I should've shaved my legs years ago.

    I wish I had just stayed in shape from High School, College, and USMC to the present day. Would have been a lot easier than trying to get back there.

    I wish at each stage of my slow weight gain that I had loved myself and seen the beauty in who I was at that moment, maybe I wouldn't have gained so much weight if I'd been happy with me at 160 or me at 180 or me at 200.

    I couldn't have said it better myself. Happy with myself but not content. Always striving to improve.
