Thank you, I needed this.

In March of last year my 7 year old son passed away from myocarditis. I'll never be ok again. I have tried counseling but nothing truly helps.

I was pretty overweight at the time. I didn't eat hardly at all after he died and ended up losing somewhere around 20 pounds. 2 months later my husband of 22 years left me, seemingly out of nowhere, and I spiraled out of control. Suddenly I found myself eating all the time. I ate until it hurt, I ate things I didn't even like. It was truly awful. I gained those 20 back and put on an additional 20.

The beginning of this year I started going to the gym because a friend of mine convinced me, as a way to just be out of the house. Turns out I actually really have come to enjoy lifting weights and Ive lost 30 pounds. My nutrition is still not great and that's likely why I'm not seeing as much progress as I could. You have inspired me to track my calories more consistently.

Sometimes I just need to vent a bit, sorry this is so long. Thank you so much for this motivation. I want to go forward trying harder.

I love that you bought a house instead of a stupid wedding. Smart woman. Sharing those photos is so generous of you. You’re inspiring.
Your baking creativity has beautifully translated into making gorgeous meals.

For me personally, the best thing about this video is seeing the length of time it has taken you. I see SO many videos of people saying “how I lost 50lbs and 4 months” or something alone the line of that. It has taken me like 8 months to lose 50 lbs and I still have about 20-30 to go and it sometimes makes you start to feel like you’re doing something wrong because it’s taking you longer.
Thank you

I've seen your before and after photos and am always impressed! Wow! Adam's changes were significant as well! Congratulations for being a role model maintaining the weight loss.

[jilliantee]

Thank you SO much for sharing these extremely personal progress photos from your "hidden" folder! I appreciate your willingness to be vulnerable in front of all of us strangers. Please know that because of that you are helping people in ways you may not even realize. Thank you so much! You are an inspiration ❤

I lost 65 lbs in about 1.5 years by just counting calories, not restricting myself from anything but staying within a calorie goal and working out at least 30 minutes per day minimum and weight training.

I feel motivated again. I have been binging since last 3 days. thanks girl.

[decobyval]

I’ve been consistently going to the gym on my days off and my mind has become so much more relaxed and positive

[deirdregrant]

Nikki I have watched your journey for awhile as both you and Adam are so motivating! This has got to be one of your best videos yet. I appreciate you being vulnerable with us about your struggles and journey. That takes a lot of courage and strength. ❤

Thanks for sharing this and it’s amazing you had the foresight to document it all along. But what strikes me is how our bodies want to heal and be healthy.

Thanks so much, Nikki, for sharing your story. I am in a job right now that takes all of my time. It is unhealthy emotionally and psychologically. It has played a part in me putting myself and my health last. Watching this has inspired me to put myself at the top of my list. What you said about making the mistake of just people-pleasing and not taking care of myself really hit home. I am a woman in my sixties with over 50 lbs to lose. I want to get my confidence back and find a job that will support a healthy lifestyle. You go, Nikki! You and your husband. You are an amazing woman. Thank you for giving of yourself and encouraging us to know that a healthy life is possible!

Such an impressive transformation physically and mentally! Every inspiring.

Thank you, Nikki, for sharing. I loved your quote, "You can't control the scale, but you can control your tracking." Absolutely! You can have an awesome week eating & tracking and not lose. Tracking is so important. I have tracked every day, every meal since January of 2020.

[BealsFam]

This story hits home for me. I have also taken so many before photos and just delete them bc I get discouraged. We are so busy working full time and trying to make it to all the kids activities that we eat out way too much. Very inspiring journey, thanks for sharing!

[maryS]

What an incredible and inspirational video. I’ve followed you for years now and am blown away with the pictures of “before.” You and Adam did an incredible job taking back your health. Congratulations!!

CONGRATULATIONS 🎉🎉🎉
This is an amazing story and I know you will encourage so many people!! I lost 60 pounds in a year and I can totally relate. I started boot camp classes and got really strict with my diet. I am looking into WeightWatchers because I have gained 8 pounds because I have started adding back a few things. I would like it all to be balanced.

Thank you for this. I didn't have as much to lose, about 20lbs but I quit smoking and my Dr. told me to join WW (again) but I was "pre-diabetic" so she made me check that box. So when you say apple, grapes, bananas are 0 point foods, I remember the last time I was on WW and they were. Now "pre-diabetic" they cost points. A banana is 3 points. That being said, I drop my A1C from 6.4 to 5.7 in the first 6 months. I've reached my goal weight wise (actually over at 23lbs), and the real success is in the bloodwork. Thanks for all your videos. Especially the snack ones.

[ambersppj]

Wow you are amazing, thank you for sharing your journey with all of us. I relate so much with you. About to start my journey and came across your video. I’ll rewatch your video for continued motivation to reach my end goal and lifestyle change. I’m 5’6” 270lbs with many health issues, been started seeing a dietician and working with my doctor to improve my health and prevent future health issues of diabetes, stroke, heart disease. My husband and family are supporting me thru this new lifestyle change. Hoping to reach my goal of weighing between 136-150 lbs in 2-3 years and celebrating every accomplishment and long life.
