    Working hard to eat more (I was underweight) plus lack of exercise caused me to overshoot.

    Never paying attention to what I put in my mouth. Decimating entire 8-serving boxes of things.

    mainly from having my last 2 children in just under 2 years apart.,my youngest is 4 this year!
    living next to complete neighbours from hell,so became almost a recluse(was too scared & depressed to go out)
    moving from a village into a town & being spoilt for choice on takeaways :tongue:
    & not exercising enough :embarassed:

    Someone probably has already beaten me too it but:...
    too many calories in vs out...

    I am an avid exerciser... but even we can overeat on a weekend when we rest and slip in to an extra couple of days bad habits or undereat, get injured and overeat during rest....

    Since age 25 i think i was starting to gain a little weight naturally anyway, but between age 26 - 28 i drank a LOT of hot chocolates every day while running a bar, with whipped cream, marshmallows, the works, sometimes up to 5 a day!!! Eek. Add that to drinking more alcohol and voila... i'm pretty sure I can pinpoint my weight gain to that 2 year period.

    Pretty much when my husband came back from his deployment, I started eating junk food again. Lots of icecream and candy bars. When I hit my highest weight and then some, it finally hit me that I need to make a change. At the time I was doing zumba and then running 3x a week, but I was consuming way too many calories in junk food.

    6 children in 10 years. I KNOW I should have lost weight between babies, but I was feeding them and worried about my milk supply drying up.

    Haven't seen this one yet: I quit smoking. At least now I can taste my food! Also, I started dating a skinny guy who loves food and loves to cook.

    After high school (12 years ago) I started eating what I wanted and whenever I wanted. Mix that in with no exercise and thats where these extra 120 pounds came from. I guess I should just be glad it wasnt more than that

    I've always been overweight, but in the last 2 years got really lazy and started piling weight BACK on. Looking at my family (and the fact that I was overweight at like 5), I'm certain I have some sort of genetic predisposition to obesity. So when I quit going to the gym-- at all, ever-- and started indulging in all of my favourite food groups [cheese, beer, pastry, and french fries] very regularly, the obvious thing happened. I have to work harder than a lot of people to stay healthy, but hey, that's who I am. I'm back at it and so far it's going well!

    I was never really "big" but back in 2007 I was diagnosed with high blood pressure (runs in the family). So I started eating better and getting more exercise. Even did a half marathon in 2009. I have gotten my blood pressure under control so now I just need to maintain it. At my biggest I hit 199 and now I am down to 165-166. I think that is a good weight for someone 5'8.


    No more high blood pressure for me!

    Pregnancy i was a gestational diabetic went back to work and the stress made me eat and drink. I piled on the pounds without noticing and i didn't have the time or energy to notice.
