Your wtf i need to get in shape moment.

Couldn't zip my nice dress for my birthday up

I saw a picture of myself and was mortified...and thought enough is enough! Heart problems run in my family, saw my grandmother die from it, my mother is overweight and thought thats not going to be me...I want a healthy heart and a long life so that was my moment...also a relative said I was looking chubby , that did it too..

I almost had that WTF moment when I realized I was closer to 200 lbs than to what was considered my "healthy" weight and my size 14 pants were really tight. But I still didn't care enough, the real WTF moment came when after a few months of being vegan, I'd lost almost 15 pounds just from what I ate, and figured I'd might as well work out and actually watch what I was eating and finish what was already started.

The moment that I was letting my insecurities surrounding my body was wrecking my relationship. Working hard on fixing that!!

Mt WTF moment(s)... I had just turned 29 and I was enormous. Well over 300 lbs. A friend asked me to go to OA with her. I did and it was successful, I lost 1/2 of my body weight in 9 months, kept it off for 2 years. Then the weight started creeping back up, went back to OA and lost that weight again 20-30 lbs. Kept it off for awhile. Now I own my own business and the weight is coming back with a horrible vengeance. I have a closet full of cute clothes I can not wear, I have terrific pictures of me when the weight was down... I want to be there again. I never did do exercise through any of that though, and thats where the change is this time.

Was at the beach and was playing ultimate frisbee and could feel my booty and thighs shake everytime I ran.

I was a size 4 easily. Then my mother died. Then the man that I was head over heals dumped me. I flung myself into a huge depression and started to grow a root on the couch. I wouldn't go anywhere for days at a time. Stopped my normal activities. Turned 40 and the weight was just creeping up. I ignored it for awhile, but one of my favorite activities was clothes shopping and nothing was cute on me anymore. All of a sudden I was in a size 16! Mortified, I still did nothing...until I wanted to try to have a baby and my body was/is not in any condition, so I finally decided to join a bootcamp. The weight is not coming off as quickly as I would like...9 pounds in 4 or 5 months...ugh.

Anyhow, I can look back and see that the depression was a key cause of my severe weight gain. Not in my depression mode anymore, but the weight that I have now sometimes puts me back there again, but I just have to fight through it.

My WTF moment was the birth of my sweet baby girl. I was married last year (and never found the motivation to get in shape before the wedding), and thought I'd have a few months to get my butt in gear before we would get pregnant. Nope, 2 weeks later I was pregnant. I didn't really let things get out of control when I was pregnant, but I knew I didn't start out in the best of health. The real eye opener was when my little girl came a full month early. She spent almost 2 weeks in NICU, and it was the hardest 2 weeks of my life. Not a second went by that I didn't wonder if my weight/generally poor health had something to do with her coming early (even though the docs assured me they found no cause, she was just ready to come out). She is now a happy, healthy 5 month old, but I am determined to get and stay healthy for her. I want to be a mom she is proud of and be a healthy example for her. And if we decide to have another baby someday, I never want to wonder again if my health is hurting my baby.

My first should have decades ago! In fifth grade I was asked if I knew what cellulite was... In High School (at my heaviest) my best friend's grandfather teased me incessantly for hours at a dinner, to the point I locked myself in the bathroom for hours until it was time to leave! A few years ago, my sister wanted to go horse back riding as part of her bachelorette party but I couldn't go because I was to heavy so no one went. Just this past October I agonized over booking a flight on Southwest because I knew they were going to make me buy an another seat and I flat out couldn't afford it. I went so far as to measure my a**! Needless to say, I crammed myself into a seat on Jet Blue! I am now approaching the size I wore in High School and was just heckeled at a concert and it crushed me. But my ultimate WTF moment was finding out my father had his first heart attack on my 7th birthday while he was picking up my bike. Enough is enough.

I had a hen do recently and had to dress up in fancy dress - despite having months to get in shape for it I didnt lose even 1 pound. The hen do was last weekend and I just had to get through it in 2 different costumes being the fat girl.

Now Ive got 8 weeks to the wedding and I am so determined to look nice in a dress and for the other people who I met on the hen do to think WOW shes lost weight!!!

When I stepped on the scale, I saw 160 pounds and I flipped out. I rounded up to 200 pounds in my head for some reason. I knew I needed to change for real this time.

I was super successful with Weight Watchers pre points plus, then my dad killed himself. I was distraught and gained back all of the weight. I slowly took off some of the weight with the points plus system a year later, but struggled so much with it I gave up. Then I stepped on a scale after a vacation with loads of walking, expecting to have lost weight and was over what I was pre-Weight Watchers. I couldn't take it anymore and decided I needed to try something new.

My WFT moment was when I sat down to look at the pictures from my daughters wedding June 2011 and then our Hawaii trip which was a month later. I looked horrible in those pictures and it didn't matter what we went through to look nice or relax. I looked horrible.

I finally said I've has enough and talked to my friend who'd been telling me about My Fitness Pal. I've been on ever since. To bad I didn't listen to her when she first told me about it, guess I wasn't ready.

I still need to lose another 40lbs, but its amazing how good I feel now and how much I've accomplished since I started in August 2011.

I decided to just measure my waist for kicks and realized I had added 5 inches onto my waist(always the smallest part of my body) and then weighed myself. At my smallest I was 155lbs with a 25in waist. It was not cool! And so I was done. And I've been done ever since.

Did not want to be a fat dad, I saw other dads filling out did not want to go the same way. 202lbs down to 170lbs.
