My name is Nicole, and I'm a single mom of two wonderful kids, a student, and a budding entrepreneur. My why is my "pinky promise" to my children. I promised my children that I will be here (meaning alive and well) for them and their children, but I wasn't doing anything to keep that promise. It wasn't that I was a bad eater but I am a snacker (if they have Snackers Anonymous I would be a member), and I did not exercise. So I am working on keeping my promise to my children by taking care of myself and being an example for them.

Hi my name is Christie and I've always tried to eat healthy for most of my life. When I was about 22 I feel off the band wagon when I was in a serious relationship. It took me able 5 years after that to start making changes in my life and another 2 years to say, it's about time to give up the unhealthy things in life that I don't need anymore. Since I've lost over 80lbs I started to realize how much I enjoy running and doing athletic things. I think of myself as an emotional eater and someone with an eating disorder. For the rest of my life I know I'll have to watch what I eat so I never become overweight again. I recently got my Zumba certification and now practicing to become a Zumba trainer. I eventually want to become a personal trainer as well.0
