What made you decide to lose weight?
For me it was when I saw a pic of me in my swimsuit, I could not believe how big I had gotten in such a short amount of time.

    I didn't have a clean pair of jeans so my mom (who has had 3 kids and is twice my age) loaned me hers - and they were TOO TIGHT. That was such an eye opener. My mom isn't overweight, but she's certainly always been a little bigger than I am because of the kids and such. I figured if she could fit in those jeans after three kids there was no excuse for me not to.

    I was going through my travel pics, and I didn't like how I looked in most of them. Decided it was time to do something about it.

    Feeling completely uncomfortable in my own body. My arms don't come closer enough to my body for my comfort.

    No energy, not being able to keep up with my 4 kids and have fun. :grumble:

    In your mind you think you look ok. In the mirror you thought......maybe I could lose a few pounds. But when you look at a picture, you're like " when did this happen!!!!!!!! That was my wake up call.

    When I went shopping for my 8th grade graduation (I was at my biggest then) & NOTHING fit or looked good. I broke down in the dressing room. After that, I decided I needed to do something about it.

    Really awful pics of me on a family weekend in the mountains, coupled with knowing one of my friends was doing really well losing weight and figuring if I got my act together I could probably do it, too.

    The before side of my profile picture disgusted me when I saw it.
