My boyfriend and I tend to move a lot. I've always been able to haul our stuff from one place to the next, but when we moved into the house we're in now, I couldn't hack it at all. That was wake up call #1. Then, when we got the photos back from his sister's wedding I realized just how fat I really was. After that I made the change.0

When my ex told me I was the reason he cheated. Now I know thats not true. He just used me being big as an excuse to justify his actions. But it was a wake up call and breaking point all the same.0

I was disgusted with myself, I didn't even want to look in the mirror to brush my teeth. I hate myself, i was gasping for air by the time I carried my 6 week old son up the 2 flights of stairs...enough was enough! I quit smoking (again) and started to eat better and work out.0

When I got a major muffin top in a (UK) size 16 jeans...... I just though "soemthing's got to give here" :frown:

Like the OP, I hadn't got on a scale for quite some time, and when I did, I was about 20lbs heavier than I'd ever been in my adult life... Yeah, no thanks... So here I am!0
