Hi, I'm Nikki!
 

I figured I should start here before posting in other threads! I'm trying to lose 100lbs. My weight's steadily been increasing over the last 3 years after I started my full-time job, and it (unfortunately) finally went past the 200lb mark I never thought I'd pass. It's been an overwhelming journey of "quick-fix" yo-yo diets but I'm doing my best to stick to the tride-and-true calorie counting method.

I'm here because I'm looking for some extra support from others who have gone, or are currently going, through what I am. At the moment it's a constant battle between me and my thoughts (not even food!). I get extremely overwhelmed every time I start thinking about how much I need to lose, but I know I need to take it day-by-day...I just need the support of the lovely people here to take me further :)

Hello Nikki! Welcome to the forum! Congrats with one of the best decisions in your life - the decision to change your life for better and to become healthy;-) Never think about how much you need to lose, concentrate on how much you have already lost!! this is positive thinking and you need it very much;-) I wish you best of luck!
