Newbie and in Need of Motivational & Supportive Friends

Options
Hello everyone,

Im Nikki from New Jersey. I currently work full time and have two wonderful kids. Two years ago I was 5'7 160 and wasn't happy with my weight then. Life side tracked me a few times with things and now I'm 182. I am always sick and tired and I'm sick and tired of that! Looking to make new friends to help keep each other on track. My friends could care less about losing weight. They are either skinny with no need to, bigger but doesn't stick with anything or happy with the skin they're in. That is perfectly fine and I love them all the same but I need people with similar goals and willing to help each other get to where we need to be.

My goal is to get back down to that 160. Once there then I will set new goals. I am currently 22lbs away. My nutritional goals are to eat better by eliminating mostly sugars and carbs. Trying out a high protein low fat diet, if that is what you call it. Similar to south beach phase 1 just not as stringent. Anything else you want to know, hit me up! Looking forward to meeting you all and making lifetime fitness friends. :)
