I need Support

My Name is Nikki, I am 27 years old and have 4 children, my oldest being 8 and my youngest is 3. I am way over weight and need to lose a lot. I have a heart condition, a rare one that has nothing to do with my weight but losing the weight and being more active can build my heart stronger. I also have high Cholesterol with wicked high Triglycerides. You don't have to have medical knowledge to be my support, I just don't know how far I can go without a good support system. I'm on the road to a heart attack and it scares me to think I would leave my children behind. I'm the only factor in their lives that is keeping them together.
So! Here I am. My goal is to have fun while losing a total of 80+ pounds. That sounds scary. Lol

hi Nikki, welcome to MFP. You have some challenging health issues & it's is good to lose the wieght. 80 pounds does sound scary at first but break it down into 10 pound stages, reward yourself after being successful at each mini goal. a new workout outfit, a movie you wanted.
Also make small changes food wise. making a huge change right away is challenging. This is not a diet, it is a lifestyle. The most important thing i have learned this time around is to love myself no matter what & forgive myself if i go off track0 -
I love ShashayLee's advice! Please feel free to friend me, ladies. I have similar story and goals as both of you and would love positive advice and support! I just started on MFP but did WW 3 years ago.0
