My neighbor rubbing my belly and saying ," girl you are pregnant!" ( due to PCOS I tend to gain a lot of weight in my belly)0
-
My size 16 pants started feeling tight, and I didn't want to have to go up yet *another* size after buying bigger and bigger clothes all year. And getting on the scale and seeing I was into the 200's for the first time on my life - that was a real kick on the butt to start changing.0

11 stone. At that point, I'd had enough!0

oh i forgot to say something so obvious - my profile pic. i thought wow is this what i really look like? that pic made me want to begin to lose weight.0

I was looking at myself naked in the mirror and thinking about how skinny i use to be and my husband has lost a lot of weight by doing NOTHING and everyone was complimenting him so out of jealousy and depression i vowed to lose 50 lbs!0

The fact that my pouchy belly makes me look pregnant (that's where a lot of my weight goes) and that I'm horribly unfit and can barely run the length of a block at 20 years old.0

I am back because I am just generally unhappy with myself. Nothing fits correctly if it fits at all. We are approaching cooler weather and I want to be able to get jackets and pants that are sized in the teens, not 20s.
Here goes nothing.0 -

I went to my doctor and he told me that if I return next month without any kind of weight loss, I would have to go onto blood pressure medication.
That night, I started MFP (again)0 -
Mine was the "Biggest Loser" challenge we had at work(which I won). Somehow competing for money got me motivated! Then I gained it back over the next spring, summer, fall, then did it again the next winter and won again! Then gained a little back the next year, then the last time we had the contest, I won second place. Then I stuck to it finally. I needed MFP for motivation to keep going. It helps!0

Went shopping for New Year's Eve and was up to a size 7. We all know what my New Years resolution was last year lol0

My final stray was going to the doctor and they could not understand what was going on with my thyroid. I have hypothyroidism and have had it for the last 16 years. During that time they have taken my blood at least 4 different times and that prompted me to research and find out how to help my thyroid not hurt it. I found that soy suppressed the thyroid and people who have thyroid issues also have issues with other food sensitivity. I took out the gluten and a few days later noticed a big difference in how I feel, sleep and overall. I have lost lots a weight since doing so a grand total of 60lbs since doing this and I have no intention of looking back. As for the food that I miss I enjoy making the healthier version as well making it soy and gluten free.0

I just went on a family vacation and refused to get any pictures taken. My boyfriend was so upset and said I want memories with us and the kids. I didn't want any memory that I had gained this weight!0

When my daughter's dad died from the combination of his overeating and drug addiction. It was a wake-up call that I was also unhealthy. That happened last year and it has taken me a year to process the pain of his loss. I am now getting myself healthy so that I can be here for my kids and do all the fun things that my weight has kept me from0

We had had a family barbeque and I wad feeling sick and tired no energy and just feeling depressed and after everyone left I was online and ran across mfp and thought I really need to do this.100+lbs seemed impossible so I decided to just concentrate on 10 lbs, so that is what I did now I am 115 lbs lighter0

When even my "period pants" would not fit over my hips, I knew.0

I got tired of seeing my body having no energy and being lazy I have two babies to watch and my energy cant match them also got tired of my depression so I decided to do something about it0

Honestly??? I finally realized I was on a USS Enterprise, Warp Speed Ahead collision course with not being able to wipe my own *kitten*. A thought that was thoroughly revolting and finally woke me up to the fact that I had gotten out of control.
Well, you asked! )0 -
My nephew asked me to ride a roller-coaster with him. I am too fat to be strapped into the ride. I had to leave in front of a very large crowd of people. I have never been more embarrassed. Next year I want to ride that roller-coaster with my nephew.0
