Pretty deep question! I would say not trying to lose weight when I was 17 and only needing to lose about 20-30lbs and letting my weight get so out of control.
You asked this question for a reason...are you feeling down about not pursuing your dreams?

Not being completely open with my brother while I had the chance. We always had this unspoken super close connection but I desperately wish I had put words to it. And I wish I had convinced him to wear a helmet.
I'm not too big on regrets. Mostly because the bad stuff teaches me things. Only a few actual regrets for me.
I wish I'd been stronger and more "there" for my Mom before she died.
She'd been battling cancer, and I pulled away the last week or so she was alive because I was having a hard time with it. I could have visited her or called her more than I did, but I didn't and I have to live with that.
I wish I had listened to my gut and gone to visit her the night before she died. I talked to her on the phone that evening, and I had the instinct that I had better go see her because she sounded so terrible. But I didn't. She spiralled quickly downhill the next morning then died. I never spoke with her again, although I was with her when she passed.
I also regret not having the strength to say "I love you" or "It's okay to go" to her as I stood by her in her final moments. I just couldn't say the words, although I'd imagined that I would when the time came. Saying it meant saying good-bye, and I couldn't do it

I regret not doing something about my weight sooner when it all started -- when I was a kid. Yes I was a kid but I could have asked for help. It would have made life so much easier. But maybe that has made me into "me".
I also wasted so much time on people who were just bad to me. I was too nice to people. I cared way too much about what others thought of me and should have done more for me!!! But again, live and learn!!
I wish I would have looked more into my female problems, that I have always had and I just always kind of knew that I would have problems conceiving. I should have listened to myself!
Apple -- Big hon. My step dad died from liver cancer and it was the hardest thing in the world to see someone you love in so much pain. Its not easy and your mom knows you love her and I am sure she knew how hard it was for you. I know it was for my step dad. He told us so, he was very open and honest with us and we were with him. So trust me, I know she knew. But I can understand your feelings. But you know what, tell her now. I know sounds dumb, but you know she is around you, watching over you, she will hear you................
In all my 24 years, my biggest regret is not pursuing what I wanted to do, but what others wanted me to do.
Make that two of us. I don't know if I'd use the word regret because I don't truly believe in regrets since we are who we are for a reason, and if we were perfect, we'd never learn and grow in life.
I wish I listened to my heart rather then the people around me. I was 17 when I graduated high school and started college. I'll be 20 this year, and in the past 2 years I've learned so much about myself.
You should still pursue your dreams. Even if it doesn't work out in the end, at least you can say you tried and you won't be left wondering what would have happened if you followed your heart. I finally listened to mine and I'm in love with my career.
I was just thinking about this the other day. I have a few, but my biggest is getting out of the Air Force ten years ago. I didn't realize how much I enjoyed it and how much I would miss it. If I'd stayed in, I'd be eligible for retirement next year!
My biggest regret is not going to college,I quit school,but I got my GED,it's kinda one of those things where you wish you could go back in time and kick yourself,and make things better for your family now,kinda like Micheal J. Fox did in Back To The Future for his family.....and smoking,I wish I had never started..........and gas ,I wish I'd never started driving........just kiddin'!!!LOL
What is your biggest regret in life?
