Hello my name is Nichole. I am 42 soon to be 43. I have a 6 year old son who needs a more active mother. I am Morbid obese according to the BMI calculator for my height and size. I knew I was overweight by A LOT. I recently joined a gym back on January 1st. It was not a new years resolution. But I decided it was time. I almost quit the first time I went to tour the gym. I was intimidated before walking in the door. I did get out of the car and walk in and got my tour and walked out to go home. I wasn't prepared to do anything. My friend went the first time. And I have had a friend go once more with me. I have been going it alone, when I go. I like my gym, it is planet fitness and I don't feel judged there. I am having a problem staying the course of course. But I keep getting back up on the horse and going back. I am starting over again today.

I love to read when I find the time. I spend too much time on the computer and I am trying to cut that down. I work with the developmentally delayed. Right now I am working with people who have prader Willi syndrome. They are very controlled on what they can eat and when. Maybe this will help me figure out what I need to do. Because I am not taking no pills to help me along on this journey.

My hope is to get into a rhythm and continue with it. I don't have many friends around me to push myself. So I have to push myself at this point.
