Hi, my name is Nicki. I am in a pretty bad place right now. I am a single mother of 4 kids and life is just plain hard. I need to make changes, but most of the time I just really don't care. I NEED to change my life. I NEED to get healthy. But I really NEED help to do it. I know what to do. I have done it before. I just can't seem to find the motivation anymore. I think maybe some accountability is what I need. I just don't now anymore....
I hope this can be a safe and healthy place for this journey.
Nicki
This is a very safe place for your journey. Everyone here is extremely nice, supportive, and encouraging, because we know what it's like to struggle with weight, and we not only want the best for ourselves, we want the best for each other. So I'm glad you've joined us! 
In a few days, the monthly weight loss and exercise challenge threads for January are going to be starting up in the sub-forum "Chicks Up for a Challenge" under Support Groups. Those threads, especially the weight loss one, is very active and very supportive, and they are great for motivation and accountability. Feel free to come join us! Newbies are always welcome! Good luck! You can do this!
