    I started because my teen years were spent hating myself and my weight and my rock bottom was kinda seeing that I was wasting my youth sitting inside wishing I had more confidence and knowing my lack of confidence was due to my poor body image. So I started using MFP to count my calories and I set up a deficit. Thank god I found MFP because if I hadn't I would be eating only diet foods and eventually falling back into bad habits. I'm new to this so I haven't lost more than a couple pounds but it's enough to keep going.

    I agree, having a good body does wonders with confidence. Its not even about the image though, its just like the lifestyle of eating healthy and exercising that gives me such a good positive feeling. Rock bottom for me was drug addiction and living like a savage. lol that life was crazy. overeating and not exercising is very comparable to the life of a drug addict.

    22, joined when I was 19 (this site). I haven't met my UGW, but I have maintained at a lower weight. What made me want to lose weight was when I thought I'd try out C25K, I jogged for ONE MINUTE, and was OUT OF BREATH for ONE HOUR. I knew I was totally out of shape and needed to make a change, because there was no reason for someone like myself- no health problems- that at 19 couldn't at least JOG for one minute.

    I'm 18, but I have a son and am pregnant, so we probably can't relate.

    Yeah me too, if im not feeling good/having a bad day, I want to binge the fk out on some of the worst foods, just so I can feel worse after eating haha smh. its a vicious cycle. Its all about willpower when there is a bad day.

    We can definitely still relate <3 You're doing this not only for yourself but for someone you love, and there's nothing un-relateable about that. You go Girlie!

    I Saw that event in downtown phx! around Halloween time. I didn't know it was fitness related tho, Im gonna do some marathon researching. I bet there's a whole bunch of them that go unnoticed.
