When I went to the doctor and she told me to lose 10-15 lbs within the next three months.
I've been doing pretty good for six days since then.

I'm sure your motivation is not this extreme but it was my *final* attempt at weight loss before seriously contemplating lap band surgery...a road I really did NOT want to go down.

One of the people I work with came up with the idea of doing "The Biggest Loser" at work. We have 20 people in it. I need to lose weight and this competition is pushing me more and more! $500 to the winner who loses the biggest percentage of body weight by mid-April.

Thanks!
Funny you mention 'butt'. ....for me it was just that...my rather large arse.
And hips.
And tummy.
When you look in the mirror and do not love what you see, then it is time...at least for me it was.
(five weeks in, and I am doing well!! )

Thanks everyone for your honest answers. I think Friday morning I am going to go back to weight watchers. I shouldn't say think. I am going to go to weight watchers on Friday.

I just knew that I let myself go & became lazy in terms of exercise after I got married. Once I realized that my clothes were getting snuck, I jump started my cardio again. Even when I gained weight, I didn't stop eating healthy, I just stopped the exercise....

When I saw how I looked in pictures after having DS. I had never realized just how heavy I was. When I saw just how large I was in comparison to a tiny newborn, it was shocking. I lost 40 lbs, but then got pregnant with DD. Only gained 15 with her and resumed the weight loss after she was born.

It was about 4 years ago. I went to the gyno for a regular annual, and did the urine test. When she came in to give me my physical, the dr. said that I had sugar in my urine. Since my mom is diabetic, it scared the crap out of me. I had blood drawn and it was just a false alarm from sugary cereal I had that morning. But I was 40 lbs overweight, and it was a wakeup call. I NEVER wanted to feel that way again. So I lost 30 lbs and kept it off until now. I'd like to lose 25 more, but I only really need to lose 15 more according to my BMI. I'd like to lose the extra 10 for myself (that would have my BMI in the middle instead of just under the overweight category).

My first inspiration came when I got engaged and went to try on wedding dresses. I was so upset with myself and how I had gained so much weight. I decided to lose 25 pounds by my wedding and I did just that. I bought new clothes in smaller sizes and got rid of the bigger clothes. Now, when I get off track and my clothes get tight, I get back on track again. I don't have money for a new wardrobe again!

1. When I gained 7lbs and DH gained almost 20lbs 2 years after we were married and I realized we couldnt blame it on the "newlywed 9" anymore.
2. When I wanted to get PG. I knew I wanted to be in great shape for pregnancy so my body would snap back. It's slow going but I think it's helped tremendously in motivating me to go back to the gym post-baby.
YOU CAN DO IT
