    I actually have this list on my weight excel sheet... just copied and pasted it:
    knee pain
    sleep apnea
    snoring
    high cholesterol
    high blood pressure
    clothes don't fit
    stretch marks

    Mind you, I have been working out all along too... For me, the ONLY way is to decrease food intake... MFP is awesome for that

    I really have no excuse to be over weight. No kids and normal work hours. I'm turning 24 in December and before I reach 25 I want to be in shape! 20's are the age where you should be able to wear whatever you want!! ahaha

    hmmm.. original it was just being unhappy in my life. I was tired of living life in a video game and not in the real world. I wanted to have adventures, go exploring, be amazing in real life... not just virtually.

    I did that. Then I got pregnant back to back, gained weight (40lbs on a 5'10 frame), was dumped for not being pretty enough before my second was a year old.. even though I was working out and eating right (but breastfeeding and not sleeping due to an ill infant).

    The baby turned one, I stopped breastfeeding, I took my routine to the next level and the weight was gone in a couple of months. I then lost some more on top of it and got in the best shape of my life.

    Same. I have struggled with depression for a long time and my weight wasn't helping. I used to think about it near-constantly.

    The actual last straw? Needing to buy new bras but being unable to wear my brand because I needed a 40" band. I'm down 21 pounds now.

    My goal is 130, but I haven't been 130 in so long that I'm not sure what the actual weight will be. Maybe I'll look better at 135 or 125. It's a surprise!

    I think the light bulb moment for me was trying to buy new jeans and realising I kept going a size up and another. The fitting room had mirrors all around and of course I had the chance to take a long look at myself -not the self that I had in my mind but the real one.

    I thought the new health app on the iphone was cool so i got a fuelband to track my activity and downloaded myfitnesspal to track my eating. I already love to run so i figured id just try to get a little healthier and improve my run times some.
