Hello. I'm Nikki and I'm 18 years old. I've been over weight my whole life. I missed out on so many things because of my weight! I have never went swimming at a pool because of my body. The boy I fell in love with even got rid of me, because he found me disgusting. It's time for me to be happy! I have a long life ahead of me and I want to enjoy it as much as I possibly can. I have 150 pounds to loose and I know I can do it! I'm proud to be a member of this community and hope to meet most of you. :)

    Hello sweets! I am in the same boat you are in. I have been overweight my entire life and now with having gone thru 2 pregnancies and marriage, and only being 25, I have done so much irreversible damage to my body that its time for a change. People in the MFP community really does help and are very encouraging. I have now lost a total of 43lbs since coming home from the hospital after having my second daughter in October. It can be done with hard work and determination. If you need some encouragement or feel like you need someone positive to talk to, I'm your girl! I have never been this determined to change my life and I'm doing it! I have gone to school for nutrition so I'm like a walking health textbook and after I reach my goal weight, I want to become a personal trainer! With a little know how on nutrition and exercise you too can achieve greatness! :) Please friend me if you like! The more friends you have for encouragement the better!
