    As with many others, I had previous inklings about losing weight but the "final" time hit when I was 35 (almost 5 years ago).

    35! This is the only time that I wasn't in a rush and combined exercise with good eating!

    Many times through my adult life, this time I was 53 and after surgery and a very long winter I ballooned up to my life highest. I was falling down and stumbling like I was 20 years older and knew if I didn't get it together I wouldn't be able to take care of my mom. With Gods help and much prayer I have been able to do this and it has been easier then any other time in my life. Good luck every one.

    Shortly after having my son. So 3 years ago. I lost 3st and kept it off, got pregnant with my daughter, put on 1stone (put on bed rest for 6months so hard not to put on something). I'm arsing around since and still have the stone to lose. I've started tracking again this past week and I'm ready to get back to my ideal.

    I tried dieting all through my high school years. I finally got serious when I was 16 because of a health scare.

    In 2012 (28 years old) just after the birth of my second babe, I finally said enough! I have been over weight pretty much my entire life, and after having 2 kids, I reached a weight I have never seen before. I was uncomfortable, and most of all ashamed.
    I started eating more paleo and working out (going for walks, JM 30 day shred, attempted insanity) I started a new job after 4 months of being really strict with my food and I saw a 40 pound loss.

    As I got comfortable at my new job, my eating habits started to go back to the way they use to be. From the 40 pounds I had lost, I had gained 27 back. On April 22, 2014 (29 years old) I realized that I had almost gained all the weight I lost. I have always told myself that I would get fit before 30. So on this day, I started fresh.

    From April 22, 2014 to today, I have lost 48 pounds. In total from my heaciest, I have lost 66. I olan on losing at least another 50-70 pounds, but this time I have changed my WOE and will not go back.

    September 2009 - I was 38. Wish it was early, but at least it happened.

    ETA: I decided I wanted to be healthy at 40 - I actually gave myself some time instead of waiting until a month before my birthday.

    I've been yo-yo dieting since I was 16...and I'm always serious...at least in the beginning. This time around, I guess 34 (I'm almost 37).

    44... I've been going since June 5th. I got on a scale and was
    mortified by the number I saw.
    I've lost almost 40 lbs,(so far), and I already feel so much better!
    There is no stopping me now.

    When I was 17 and went to the doctors. I saw the number on the scale for the first time. Probably about 170. Until then I just knew I was chunky but I had no idea how much I weighed and what the food I was eating was doing to my body.

    Anyway, I lost some weight then but it happened again in June. Now I weigh less than I ever did in high school! (Or who knows, maybe middle school even)
