My name is Nicki and i have been struggling with my weight since childhood. I have tried so many diets i lost count!
On New Year, a very good friend of mine, who has been overweight her whole life as well, convinced me we should start weight loss journey together. I gave up after week. She persisted and she sent me yesterday photos from holiday, she's standing on the beach having amazing figure. I'm really happy for her, but at the same time, i'm sad, because i keep thinking this could have been me too!
I hope, this time i'm will succeed!
My starting weight is 201 lbs with BMI 35.6, let's work on it!
Sorry for my english, i'm from non-english speaking country.

Your english is fine!

I know how you feel, I have been in similar situations in the past. We always wish that we started our weight loss journey last year....but we can start it today!

You **CAN** do it - just take one day at a time. If a slip up happens, don't throw the whole day out, just move on to the next meal.

I started at 265 lbs in April and last week weighed in at 203 - - it is happening and I won't stop until I get to my goal.

So yes, IT CAN BE DONE!

Congrats!!!....Also, I have been left behind by some of the people in my life. Someone who lost 50lbs, someone who lost 45lbs and someone who lost 25lbs. I'm trying to catch up because I hate being left behind!!
