    So many things. Mainly it had to do with really bad heartburn that has gone away now. I was also tired of always being the fattest person in the class. Worrying about if I could fit through this, or sit in that seat. When the group of college students took the stairs, I wouldn't be the only one out of breath (the skinner people would be too) but I was the only one that people likely thought it was because of being unhealthy. :mad:

    it started when i realized i weighed 15 pounds more than i did the day i delivered my 9 lb 2 oz son. Then Nov 2010 we took family pictures and i really saw just how fat i had gotten. still have about 20 pounds to go, but i definitively looked better in the next family pictures taken 8 months later

    When my ex started dating, I realized I needed to quit feeling sorry for myself and be the person I want to marry. I wasn't going to settle. I get up at 4:50 every morning. I have for almost three months now (yoga for 25 min, cardio for 35). I'm running a 5k in two weeks. I’ve been dating a ton and having a lot of fun. I haven't felt this good in years. I just joined, but I'm actually down 45lbs and almost four pant sizes.

    Having to buy a size 18 jeans.
    Passing out because my body couldn't handle the pysical activity of walking from one room to the other.
    Seeing pictures of myself with my husbands college friends and realizing I'm the fat one.
    My blood test results kept getting scarier.

    It's a combo. Just not willing to be that girl.

    I'm only 5'0 and the scale was just a few pounds from 200. That scared me to death. My body is too little to carry around that much weight. I quit smoking almost 3 years ago so I knew it was time to lose the weight and get healthy. I want to live til I'm 95 LOL!

    We were in Florida and went to see a play starring two friends of mine. It was a little house with funky second-hand theater seats, and to my horror I discovered I almost didn't fit into the theater seat. I was in agony for the entire first act. Then I ripped my pants getting out of that vise -- such fun. The house let me sit on a folding chair next to the door for the second act, but that was when I knew I had to make a change.

    I finally read about AVM, and the information was terrifying. (I was born with one in my left leg, and it's inoperable.) In order to prevent hemorrhaging and other life threatening things as I get older, I have to exercise and make those blood vessels strong.

    Also, the well went dry at my house, and I wanted to use the showers at the gym for a month while it was being fixed. :-)

    I kept complaining and complaining and complaining about my weight for about 3 - 4 years. Finally my poor husband looked at me and said, "I don't want to hear you complain about your weight any more if you aren't going to do anything to change it."

    Well, after about two weeks of being mad at him for it, I finally decided he was right. :) That was about 60 lbs ago. I still have some more weight to drop, but I already feel like a different person.

    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 in a similar situation, but i felt that i was not good enough for him because of how i looked. Then found out he was with someone bigger than me, but it was still a wake up call. It has taken me almost a year to get to this point but I knew i needed a change and I decided the time was now. Plus i am getting ready for my cousin's wedding in June and a cruise in January.

    In addion to being tired of ending every attempted shopping trip in tears, I just wasn't attracted to myself any more. I wasn't getting rejected by my partners, but it's hard to want sex if you don't feel sexy.
    That and a friend of mine joined the site after a health scare, so I felt compelled to actually USE my membership. She had issues with her period (just as I have) and had extensive health tests done and was told she was prediabetic, which scared me since I felt that could happen to me. In actuality it wasn't that bad, but that's not the point.

    Having a stint put in my heart at the age of 31. Taking as more prescription medication to control weight related things than most people do in their whole lives 5 at night and 4 in the morning. I'm 31 not 91 damn I let myself go.
