Hello! My name is Nicole. I live in Calgary Alberta. I'm 40 years old and I have 2 wonderful kids and a husband of 21 years. I work for a construction company in accounts payable, so I am attached to my chair and computer most of the time! Our daughter, who is 8, is tall slender and very active in lacrosse, ringette and many other sports. Our son who is 21 still lives with us, he keeps busy at work and plays baseball with me and my husband. I've been a yo-yo dieter all my life. 6 years ago I was at my lightest at 180 pounds then shortly after I was diagnosed with HER2 stage 2 Breast Cancer. I had a double mastectomy and underwent 2 ½ years of chemo. Then came the surgeries to have implants put in. Nightmare!! Over this stressful period in my life I gained a lot of weight. Once I hit 280 I stopped looking at the scale. I have tried weight watchers and lost 95pounds but now I am stuck at 200. I have tried everything & nothing helps my weight remained the same. It’s a yo-yo, up & down. Very Frustrating!! Summers are always the hardest to really keep track of what I eat, baseball games with beer and wings baseball tournaments with ball diamond foods, bbq’s! Yummy!! I love to eat! But now I have gotten to a point in my life I want to eat healthier and be able to continue to be active in the sports I love. I am hoping this site will help me achieve my goal.
