    Realizing I'm short-changing myself and my kids by being fat (less able to do physical fun stuff and little energy).

    I finally realized I wanted to enjoy the tail end of my twenties without being self-concious... even though I'm still overweight now I feel so much better about myself now that I am making these changes!

    Being diagnosed with Poly Systic Ovaries, and knowing that getting my weight down will help with loosing weight to be able to concieve a child that I so desperatly want.

    6x is not a size where I can be picky over looks. Poop stain on the crotch? Well, they're the right size...

    Well, this will be a little personal, but then all of it is here! Mine was about a week ago after ongoing relationship issues with my boyfriend due to lack of physical intimacy for a LOOOOOOONG time. I finally realized that it is a combo of me always feeling exhausted as well as feeling fat and unhappy with myself. This first week wasn't perfect, but I know that I'll keep going and keep having successes! I will say that eating better does make me a lot less tired and I'm trying to take afternoon walks too....but its time to do this and stick with it, or i'll get bigger and bigger....

    My moment was watching the UK show Supersize vs Superskinny. Weird I know, but I was watching and I was thinking holy crap I'm supersize and I don't want to be that way for the rest of my life. I found MFP and started that very day.

    Mine happened in my Criminal justice class at College a few days ago. See I've always wanted to be a Police officer. That day a man from Police academy to our class and was talking about how Police academy is starting this summer. Finally I have an opportunity to start my dream job. There's only one problem, I'm way out of shape. That's when I decided that its time to get serious. So I'm ready to work my butt off so I can get into Police academy.

    I lost 45lbs for my wedding and another 15lbs after getting married and for 6years I was able to say Im thinner now than what I was on my wedding day! THEN, my weight surpassed what I weighed on my wedding day and I said No more! Not going back to what I was before the wedding...I dont want my wedding dress to fit me in 10yrs, I want it to be too big! :laugh:

    When I could only button one pair of my jeans, then the butt ripped.

    I saw pictures of myself on Christmas morning with my little one and I looked like a huge, hulking behemoth! I was miserable with myself and knew I had to get started on losing weight. Fast forward a month and I came across a blog online about a girl who lost over 125 lbs. She was a mom on young kids just like me! I knew if she could do it I could too. I weighed myself, started exercising, and started using MFP. It's been a month now and I've lost 11 lbs. Now I'm just gonna keep plugging along!

    as stupid as it sounds, I was watching The Bachelor and saw how ripped that dude is. All those girls seem to like it, so I figured I'd try to get to that point.

    This is not stupid at all.
