About Me

Good morning my name is Nicole. I'm a single mom of 2 boys and a beautiful granddaughter. Of course my furbabies too!

In June of 2014, after going to the doctors office for my checkup on my high blood pressure and high cholesterol after being weighed in at 307 pounds I told my doctor was time I did something to take control of my life. I decided to have weight loss surgery. 
  
Since I have gained so much weight, I now have Asthma, Sleep Apnea, High Blood Pressure, and High Cholesterol. So I am determined to lose my weight via Surgery, healthy eating and exercise to regain my life and become a happier and healthier me. To do so I have to change the way I eat, the way I think of food and my lack of exercise. THIS WILL BE A COMPLETE MAKE OVER FOR ME. I decided to create a blog to follow me on my weight loss journey and healthy eating change. So it begins. 

I took six months of classes of learning how to eat and what to expect for my surgery and the type of surgery I wanted! I chose to have gastric sleeve surgery. Everything was great and I lost 75 pounds, but then I just quit losing.  I was stuck at the same weights for almost a year!!! A post appeared on my Facebook page about a crockpot recipe boot camp and I joined it! I have been doing every boot camp with Ellie since and learning to eat healthy, exercise and am currently at 200 lbs! I am no longer on medication for my blood pressure or cholesterol and have not had any asthma related issues since losing the weight!!!

On my journey I have found what works and what doesn't.  Diets don't work.  What does work is healthy eating, portion control and exercising.
