What made you decide to lose weight?

I found out I was borderline diabetic at 255 lbs.. Since joining this website I've went down to 249, and I can't wait to hit my goal.
Been lifting weights, running, doing insanity, jogging, walking.

My main decision points were

.Wanting a body ready for the beach/lake when summer hits.
.Wanting to live healthier, stronger, and happier.
.To lower my risk of diabetes.

So, basically what I'm asking is what made you stop procrastinating. What flipped a switch in your head that made you get off your *kitten* to lose weight?

  • Those are definitely good motivational tools.
    My son is 2 and I want to be able to do more with him.
