Hello everyone. My name is Nicki and I am joining myfitness pal today. I was doing Weight Watchers and lost 36 pounds already but have had some financial problems hit me and had to stop going. I do not want to back track and read about this program in Woman's World magazine. I am ready to keep pushing forward. I am a single mother of 3 girls. I work 2 jobs and go to school. My time is extremely limited but because of some health scares earlier in the year I decided that I needed to make my health a priority now. I exercise at least 5 days a week sometimes six and already feel a differnce in my overall health. I hope to make friends here and welcome anyone who wants to befriend me. I wish you all the most success with your weight loss

    Welcome! I have only been here a couple weeks and already love it. I was also on Weight Watchers for awhile and I did lose a few pounds. I didn't have time for the meeting anymore and online was ok, but I didn't have the support that I had at meeting. I have found that MFP is wonderful, still tracking (just calories instead of points) and I also have the support I like. I hope you enjoy it also. I will send a add for friends...I can always use more people for motivation.

    Welcome, Nicki!! Congratulations on your 36-pound accomplishment!! Great job! :flowerforyou:

    Your story sounds much like mine. I work 2 jobs, go to grad school full time, and have a family, too. It can be fun, but it sure keeps me busy!

    I joined this program because I want to make changes for my health that I can maintain - you know, smaller portions, healthier choices, more exercise. Not just lettuce leaves and celery, and 3-hour workouts! >as if!!< :laugh:

    Add me to your friends if you'd like - I'd be happy to travel the weight loss road with ya!

    Great luck to you!!!

    Nicole
