Hey everyone,
My name is Nicki, I am 27 and I am working towards losing a total of about 100 lbs. Some of that will be taken off surgically August 9th (I finally get my breast reduction!!!) which I am ecstatic about as it will allow my body to work in ways that are quite painful now.
I have been on Spark People for a few years now and it just never truly worked for me. There was no sense of motivation or community there for me. Most of my "friends" were people I knew, and if they weren't motivational or supportive in person, than why would they be on the computer.
I truly am in this journey alone on my end as my boyfriend isn't one that needs to lose any weight at all and most of my friends just lack the motivation to do things like that as well. Any extra support or motivation I could get on this site would be greatly appreciated and hopefully keep me on track to meet my goals!
Thank you,
Nicki
