How many of you have hit rock bottom and you have finally decided its time to make a change? I live a healthy lifestyle but sometimes we get off track and fall off the wagon and get drug down the street. BUT im feeling determined today and ready to kick this weight in the butt. Whos with me?

    I did. An year and a half ago, 4 months after my baby was born, I went and get on the scale and found out I was 92kg (that's 202lb), something like 25kg over my ideal weigh.

    I felt TERRIBLE

    That day I decided to change my entire life, with a couple of fallings, today I've lost almost 13kg and I'm decided to lose the other 12 no matter what.

    You can count me in the train! There's no way we're going back there!

    Well the good thing is that when you hit the rock bottom there is nowhere to go but up. You can do it! i am 70 lbs down from my heaviest 3 years ago, just had a baby and actually lost weight, now going to try and maintain it or lose some more. So i am with you for sure.

    I have lost about 100 pounds and in the last month from stress and sugar and anxiety and more sugar I have went up a bit. Feeling so determined today to get the show on the road. Nutrition has been great this mroning. I had my shakeology, i drank my water and about to have ym string cheese snack. I have 25 pounds left until i hit my ultimate goal and im stuck so I hop emy new determination will giv eme that jump start i need.

    Pretty close. My self esteem is definitely at an all-time low. It frustrates me that I could so easily stay motivated years ago, and now it's so incredibly hard. I think a big part of that is I had a group of people doing it with me years ago, and now I don't. (Hence why I'm back on MFP.) Like someone said, nowhere to go but up...

    I hit rock bottom when I saw a picture of myself and said "I have a shirt like that!" about the overweight girl in the photo...that person was me. I didn't even realize that was the way I looked. That was 2013 and I have not looked back. I keep that picture up as motivation when I feel like I am slipping.

    Yeah, I was ready to end it all Christmas 2013. Saw no way out and was tired of being fat and useless. So glad I didn't as I found the strength to fix myself a few months later.

    I hit the bottom when I hit 262 a year and a half ago. I lost 98 lbs over the next year +. Now I'm actually trying to add muscle, so I'm up a couple of pounds. You can do it if you're dedicated. I was heavy my entire life, and I'm finally at a healthy BMI.

    Yep. Yesterday actually. Had been avoiding the scale for a while. Finally got the courage to get on and found I am 10 pounds heavier than my highest weight ever. That was a punch in the gut. Rejoined MFP today. Looking for support to finally get and stay to my goal weight.

    Yep. I am getting divorced, and on Sunday I stepped on the scale and it was 164. I can only blame the stress of divorce for so long. I am 5'3" and the most I've ever weighed in my life is 159. I swore I'd never be over that. So...I am now getting very serious. Bootcamp twice a week and following the calorie plan. My goal is 135. I am 50, so I know I'll never be my tiny 122 pounds again, but 135 puts me in a size 6-8 and I feel fantastic. I can do it!!!!!!
