Hello, all!! My name is Nina, and I am brand spankin' new to this community. I am a 27 year old nanny from San Francisco! I am also vegetarian! I am a huge advocate for body positivity, and I have spent many years "loving my body" and not being concerned with weight loss. Unfortunately, I've come to the realization that while I have been "loving my body", I haven't been treating it with love. I am 80 pounds overweight, my blood pressure is borderline high, and I have a very fast resting heart rate. I have been instructed by my doctor to lose weight, or suffer the consequences of morbid obesity.

Today is day 1, and I am so excited to finally be treating my body with the love it truly deserves!!!

I would love to connect with some likeminded individuals! I know I'm going to need lots and lots of strength to lose this weight, and having friends in this community would help immensely!!
