What inspired you?

I was doing ok before I started MFP, I didn't really have a method other than eat lightly and often. I preferred to get some numbers of some sort so I know where I stand and could have more flexibility without worrying. So with the beauty of technology now, I can add things up before I eat them, I can have more treats than I was actually allowing myself before I used MFP.

I don't have much of an inspiration to be losing weight, I really was quite settled in being big. I don't have health issues right now but as I've been a heavy weight for 15 years I thought I should probrably make an effort before I start getting problems at some point in the future. I know I sound full of apathy but I really am quite determined about doing this. I've been dieting and moving about more for nearly 5 weeks now, no sense in stopping now, eh?

I was getting very unhappy with my ever shrinking pants lol, was really affecting my confidence, I honestly never noticed my weight go up till i started doing to pants dance every day getting dressed, I blamed it on my current partner (as you do) we had just got together so was alot of going out drinking and going for meals, takeaway pizzas and staying in bed all day i was 10st 4lb (144lb) when i met him in may 2012 and by sept 2013 i was 12st 4lb (172lb) that when i knew i needed to do some serious work and could not carry on that way, i have now got back down to the weight i was i call it my pre dan weight, and am determined to keep going, my partner has been very supportive of me all the way through and i love him for it, even tho he never put on any weight and was eating same rubbish i was (unfair much lol)
