What was your moment of "enough is enough"?

the number I saw on the scale was higher than the day I went into labor with my daughter, nearly 3 years earlier! It wasn't a pretty number and I knew I would just keep going up if I didn't do something about it.

enough was enough was when i was trying on pants in my closet that i knew i wore like months before and they couldn't fit.. Than when i was driving my button on my pants popped off cause of my stomach. oh heck no that was it for me..had to make some changes..

I went in for my annual at my gyne and weighed in at a whopping 194. I was just...horrified. I was bigger than I was at 9 months pregnant, and that was just...not okay with me.

3 months later and 20lbs lighter, I'm almost back to my pre-pregnancy weight. And though I've lost 20lbs I have never once felt deprived or felt like I can't eat what I want to - I just think of my calories like money and I only get so much, so I'm choosier on what I "spend" on.

But that said, the benefits of working out go way beyond my weight...I love going for a walk with my husband and not making him slow down!

Calories like money... that's actually a really interesting way to look at it. I may need to adopt it.

today when a button popped at work,lol

I was in denial for a good few years that I was overweight but last Christmas I really was my biggest and felt it. I'd always been one of those girls who say 'who cares about your weight as long as my friends/family love me that's all that matters' and 'you only live once so why watch what you eat?' my friends and family DID love me the way I was and never said anything negative about my weight, in a way I wish they would of so I could have started this journey sooner!

It was a few things that did it for me in the end. A picture of me on Christmas day last year I saw looked horrendous and after denying it and going on a few food binges, such as lying in bed with a mountain of mcdonalds food, drinking vodka and smoking weed, and just feeling crap! I knew stuff had to change.

I work part time in the afternoons, and after my partner went to work int he morning I would go back to bed with a multipack of crisps and eat the lot. Plus something awful for lunch. I looked in the mirror and just cried at the rolls of fat, and the fact my stomach was way larger than my boobs, and now hanging down to past my lady bits, I felt so unattractive and unworthy of my partner. (Pleased to report my stomach has shrunk a lot!)

So I just started eating right and joined the gym. Lost 19lbs since January, not loads I know! But, I feel so much better for it. Don't have any pain in my knees anymore! And I'm still enjoying occasional junk food and wine, just in smaller and less frequent quantities!

Also, my other half proposed in May, and we get married in February, so I now have more motivation to get fit and to a healthy weight!

Good luck to all of you!

When I realized the weight gain my Doc suggested was doing way more harm than good and would only help if I was trying to concieve. I was at a healthy weight for my height before gaining and he wanted me to put on 25-30, putting that weight on caused all kinds of havoc though it was done in a healthy way for the most part.

It was the "one-two" punch of going on vacation feeling pretty down about my self image and not wanting to enjoy the activities due to my middle aged sloppy gut. That combined with a viewing of Forks Over Knives set me down a path to where I am today. At least 10-15 pounds lighter than when we went on vacation. I'm feeling (mostly) good and looking better, but it's just the first steps on a bigger journey.

all in all i just decided im sick of having to wear layers of shirts (the lacy kind), im sick of not being able to wear shorts and skirts during the summer, feeling super self-conscoius when we go on my parents boat, and quite frankly i feel incredibly unattractive in the bedroom, if you catch my drift.

i am doing this to better ME!!!

This sounds just like me! In every way!

My enough is enough moment was seeing my friend lose 50lbs since march and knowing if she can do it so can I!

Using these as a kick in my butt because so many resonate with me

This summer when I saw pictures of myself and I didn't see the person I thought I was. I just saw a large, tired looking woman and realized that I didn't want to be that person anymore.

The moment I stepped on the scale and weighed pretty much the same as my fiance. Granted he was 12lbs underweight...but still! Enough was enough was enough!

It got to a point like 2 months ago where i knew i needed to lose a few pounds, i could tell how my clothes were fitting. My friends and family suggested that i still look okay (liars). But the "enough is enough" moment came when i was having a conversation with a guy im dating, he said to me that he noticed i gained weight since meeting him. I don't know what it was about hearing someone else say to me that i gained weight but that did it from that day forward i've been working out!

It was a group "Girls' Night" photo. I didn't get to hide in the back, as I usually try to do. I blocked a whole woman! All you could see of her was a tiny bit of her face! That was my restart date. June 25, 2012!

I had my eneough is enough moment this past weekend when I was out shopping with my friends. I am in between plus size clothing and regualr size and I have had enough of trying to find clothes that fit me right. I want to lose at least 2 sizes to get into the regular sizes so I don't have to check out the plus size stores anymore.

I was trying on a dress that I thought would look good on me. It was a size 16 which is what I wore at that time. Well, it zipped up kinda snug but looked pretty good, the color mostly. When I tried to get out of it, I couldn't get the zipper down. My daughter was with me and she tried and tried and still stuck! Of course I was crying by this time. To make a long story short the clerk had to cut me out of the dress. I was mortified and got out of there in a hurry! Forty two pounds later, I wear a 10!
