    My boyfriend and I tend to move a lot. I've always been able to haul our stuff from one place to the next, but when we moved into the house we're in now, I couldn't hack it at all. That was wake up call #1. Then, when we got the photos back from his sister's wedding I realized just how fat I really was. After that I made the change.

    Mine was after I had my 3rd baby and I had gained 50lbs. I couldnt even look at myself in the mirror. I have been working on losing the weight ever since.

    When a family member went to the hospital with weight-related health issues. I knew I was going the same way, so I decided to take the weight risk out of my health. I was also getting to the point where I wasn't comfortable going up anymore sizes in clothes.

    I was worried for 5 years about my daughter, she had 2 surgeries. Once I found out she was fine, I looked at myself in the mirror and didn't even recognized myself. I had gained so much weight in that 5 years. I knew it was time to focus on my a little, it was the best thing I have ever done....I feel better then ever.

    i'd just tried to follow the dukan plan and it was very hard since i do not eat meat. i felt miserable now being able to eat fruits and veg and i got tired of dieting and getting fatter. i want to re-wire my brain into using moderation when it comes to food and not to have anything off limits.

    In Feb. my mom was diagnosed with conjestive heart failure. On March 30th my dad passed away from renal failure, diabetes, and multiple sclerosis. A few weeks ago my younger brother was diagnosed with diabetes.
    I just decided that I want to live, and be healthy.

    Had to go to the hospital for pneumonia....routine tests showed high blood pressure and high blood sugar. I was told to lose the weight or face the possible consequences of diabetes. Two years and over 100 pounds later....blood pressure and sugar levels are normal and I feel great!!

    When my ex told me I was the reason he cheated. Now I know thats not true. He just used me being big as an excuse to justify his actions. But it was a wake up call and breaking point all the same.

    I was disgusted with myself, I didn't even want to look in the mirror to brush my teeth. I hate myself, i was gasping for air by the time I carried my 6 week old son up the 2 flights of stairs...enough was enough! I quit smoking (again) and started to eat better and work out.

    When I got a major muffin top in a (UK) size 16 jeans...... I just though "soemthing's got to give here" :frown:

    All my 16s have now gone to the charity shop and my 14s won't be far behind them now. I have size 12 jeans I haven't been in for 10 years that are looking feasible now :smile: another half a stone and I will slide into them :happy:

    Like the OP, I hadn't got on a scale for quite some time, and when I did, I was about 20lbs heavier than I'd ever been in my adult life... Yeah, no thanks... So here I am!

    I was going to go on one of those zip lines things from tree to tree last summer and found out that the weight limit was 265. I weighed 265. Had no choice but to back out of the trip. Didn't want to look like a fool.
