when was your "OH HELL NO" moment ?

I have been overweight my entire life. I can look to my little league photos for proof. When I was in my early 20's I dieted strictly and excercised like a mutha to compete in the dating pool. I looked better but was still overweight.
Lately I have been distracted with medical issues (not related to weight) and the comfort of a wonderful woman. I am now convinced I will not die soon so I care more about my health.
I had 2 recent "OH HELL NO" moments. The first was when we litterally broke the bed about 1/2 year ago. The 2nd was a review of our wedding and honeymoon photos.
Since then I have lost 10 lbs but I still have a long way to go.0 -
It has been more of Hell no moments, but none really pushed me to make a significant difference. Recently I went home to the Cayman Islands and taking my shirt off was embarrassing with the size of my man boobs. I was always active growing up and the last 8 years I got away from that and the weight slowly crept up, but had now been over 200 pounds for two years and could barely run a sub 9 mile.
I am down 10 pounds now, just broke under 200, and I have about another 10-20 to go. I am doing three days cardio and three days weight, so I will be ok with only 10 more if there is muscle instead of fat there, especially if it means I can get back into my size 34 jeans and pants again, an added benefit would be if I could get off my cholesterol medicine as I am on a low dose and want to be off that completely!0 -

Ahahahaha
I have had my pants split on my a couple times but unfortunately nobody got to witness. Oh well. Here's looking to the future.0 -
Two weeks ago.... my first softball game of the season after a very inactive winter. Slow, tired and unproductive... I felt like the old guy that everyone looks at and quietly wishes would hang them up. I have lost 10 lbs since then and it has made a world of difference already. Good luck to everyone!0

The first, and biggest... I was buying a suit and the tailor mumbled something while he was trying to fit the pants. I asked him to repeat it and he said, "We need to get you a 40inch waist to start." I was twenty-three. I left the suit in the store and joined a gym. Eighteen months later, I was fifty-five pounds lighter and in significantly better shape. I did pretty well holding it together for more than twenty years.
The second, after a long illness and my second aortic valve replacement (bad luck, that). When I realized that (a) I had gained forty-five of that fifty-five back in the last four years, (b) I couldn't walk my dog for an hour let alone run or ride a bike for that long and (c) based on the meds my cardiologist wanted me to start taking I was going to be a sick old man way before my time if I didn't get my act together. The hell with that!
Six months later, I an thirty pounds lighter and planning to be in better shape at sixty than I was at forty, which is saying something.
Funny thing, though. I am just back to doing what I had been doing for most of my adult life.0 -
Seeing the pain that my parents are going through....bad knees and back, that's shoved me off the starting block.0
