Those of you who lost a significant amount of weight, what was that defining moment for you that made you decide to buckle down and make it happen?

When I realized I was getting quite tired on even short hikes and felt cognitively foggy all the time. And that I was not happy with how I looked.

One of the best decisions I ever made. Have kept the weight off for 15 years now. So, yes, it can be done — don’t believe the Fat Acceptance nutters and all those who deeply desire you to fail. Take charge of your own self and do it.
