[Keep1Belle]

I knew I had to loose weight when...my underwear started getting tight in the leg/thigh holes. :blush::perplexed

On a happy note my cousin knew she was on her way to major weight loss when she could see her belly button again:lachen:

What are some of the "signs" that let you know you needed to lose or gain weight?

[HAIRapy]

When I noticed I couldn't cross my legs without leaning to the side:grin:

[Te'TahHead]

My thighs started rubbing together...:perplexed

My lil cousin came to me and said " You need to drink Crystal Light to lose that gut":ohwell:

My son said "Mommy you got a big ol tummy":wallbash:

My favorite jeans don't fit..and the 'dryer shrunk 'em' excuse is void because they hadn't been washed :nono:

You don't need no crystal light. Get you some Koolaid, Kentucky Fried chicken or Popeye's, with lots of french fries.

I got two love handles. My clothes didn't fit.

When I could make a butt with my stomach.:look:

When I looked like a quarterback in my strapless dresses:nono:

[tapioca_pudding]

...when I could feel my stomach hanging over my pants while sitting. :nono:

...when I 'walk' fat - huffin and puffin, waddling, etc. :nono: :wallbash:

...when I turn my head and could feel rolls forming around my neck. :nono:

...when people start saying 'I mean you are still pretty, don't get me wrong... but last summer when you lost all that weight, you looked SO GOOD!' :nono: :wallbash: :rolleyes: :boxing:

[Cien Por Ciento]

*when I rubbed a huge hole in my JEANS-- from the friction where my thighs rubbed together. I had this happen with a pair of leggings before...but never a pair of blue jeans. :nono:

*when I stood with my legs together, and there was no space--- and I couldn't see the light shining through. :lol:

*when I had to start wearing thigh trimmers/shapers/girdles/biker shorts with my slacks, just so they wouldn't 'ride up the middle' when walking... :lachen: I hate that! LOL!! :nono:

*when my knees started popping :look:

*when I couldn't walk up the second flight of stairs in my house without getting winded.

*when I noticed that the rolls in the front---extended to the back-and were lapped over like the michelin man.:ohwell:

*when my butt seemed too big for my tiny computer chair.

*when I couldn't cross my legs the 'dainty' way---but I had to cross them like a man.....or just cross them under my seat.

*when I could hold my head down---and see a second chin forming. :blush:

*when I just felt like I took up too much space.......just from being so wide.

*when overall my jogging suits from the previous year didn't hang right...and were just overall too tight.

*when I wore my favorite gray suit to church, and men were being extra nice and just stared, because the skirt was sooooooooo tight against my *** and hips.
(I knew it was too small when I left for church...but was in denial--plus I was running late. I had no idea that I looked like a hussy tho...) :nono::ohwell:

*when I started to 'hear' myself breathe while standing still, after doing simple chores around the house....just because I was winded. :yawn:

[tarheelgurl]

I knew I had to lose weight when my favorite pair of jeans would come up past my thighs. :nono:

[SoSweet08]

When my jeans wouldn't go over my hips and butt.

When I seen a picture of how I use to look months before and then a current picture.

[sareca]

I felt sick and bloated all the time.
I felt tired all the time.
When I exercised it felt like I was carrying a lead weight.
Pictures of me made me sad.
A relative said I look like my husband's ex. She's cute, but she weighs over 275lbs.

[queenbee8687]

When my 'That Girl' jeans dont feel comfy when im wearing them and when they eventually stop fitting.

[bbdgirl]

When I would pray to get the flu so I could shed a quick 10 lbs
When I had permanent tire around my waist
When I went to pull up my jeans by the belt loop and ripped the loop clean off
When I wore a hole through new jeans at the thigh

[Precious_1]

-When people kept asking me if I was pregnant:perplexed
-when I could no longer get my jeans past my thighs
-when I felt VERY tired all the time

[Keep1Belle]

WOW...reading some of these I have to add more

my cute girl jeans dont fit over my thighs
my fat girl jeans are tight and I bust loops pulling them on
my super cute black pants have a hole in the thigh from friction
I wince whenever I see a pic of me
and my stomach sticks out even when Im sucking it in..


I need to get it together quick.

[ilovezag]

When a boy in school called me fat girl.

When every time I went shopping I had to buy a bigger size then the last time.

When my thighs rubbed together.

When my pants got real tight and started splitting.

When I reached size 15 i realized that if I keep gaining weight I'll soon have to shop at Lane Bryant. That's when I really got serious about losing weight.

It was really hard but it was so worth it I will never get that big ever again.:yep:

[ms.sweetevie]

When my butt was hanging over in the next seat on the bus:nono:

When I avoided booths at resturants because I was ashamed I would get stuck or take too long to scoot over:ohwell:

When I saw people from college and they kept saying dang you got BIG:wallbash:

When a group of friends and I got asked to leave an all you can eat place:blush: and people referred to us a BGC (BIG GIRL CREW)

[CenteredGirl]

The fat on my back was chocked by my bra.

[InNeedofHairapy]

WHen I got pregnant and realized that I had put my children's health at risk just by being overweight..

..and when I realized that I was sooo not wanting to be a fat mommy who couldn't play with her kids, ride a bike with them, take them swimming or even be ALIVE when THEY have children..so losing weight since I've had them just 3 months ago has been really important to me....

it was important to me before, but obviously not ENOUGH, or I wouldn't still be fat...but I'm losing, and getting healthier b/c I want to be around for them.
