Hello!
 

Hi. I'm Nicole. I'm turning 40 in about a month. I'm currently home alone ( with kids all day) and I'm going a bit batty trying to stick to a program. I most recently tried the Atkins approach, but as my family are all toothpicks, I am just flat tired of giving in to temptation and messing up my "ketosis"... not that I ever got there.

I am here, hoping to make some kindred spirits and maybe find a kick in the butt to get moving. Calorie counting with myfitnesspal.com, I managed to lose about 40 pounds two years ago (my avatar photo was the inspiration for that) and since I've been unemployed I have managed to gain 30 Back. It's not helping my confidence at interviews and it's definitely turning me into a hermit.

I suppose I could go on all day about me but right now it's depressing!

I will attach my inspiration photo... i know i will never be 21 again but I know I can be that weight.

Waht a great way to inspire yourself. I shoudl give it a try & stick a pic of myself on the fridge so I see it everytime I am tempted to eat something bad!! Good luck with your weight loss goals

Hi Nicole! :welcome: You've done it before so you can definitely do it again! Glad to have you here! Good luck!

Thank you Snoooze and Jacqui! I love your BMI mini Goal Jacqui! I remember when I hit "overweight" instead of Obese the last time... that felt great! Of course I didn't notice passing it by on the way up!
