Hello all,

After a long search I finally found a site that is easy to use.

My name is nikki, I am 41 years old,and I am sick and tired of being over weight. I have always been curvy, but after giving up sports, the weight just started coming. 5 years ago, i was 350lbs, it took 2 years but i was able to drop 100. Just when i was on track a year and a half ago, i had to have surgery.( grapefruit size fibroids on my uterus). Now it seems the weight is coming faster and faster. I have realized that i have to REALLY watch what i eat, and STOP SNACKING on the wrong things. I am hoping i can find the motivation and support that i need here.

Have a blessed day

    Welcome. This site is not only easy to use, but it has all kinds of support. If you have an iphone, there is an app for that also. A must for me because I have my pre-charted foods, for the day, at my fingertips no matter where I am. Good luck on your journey, and remember, we are all on this journey together.
