Two Years & 255lbs Later....
You are amazing Nikke. You've worked so hard, and stuck around to help others. In that sense you have failed at being selfish, but that's ok.
Your post resonates in so many ways, but I'd like to reiterate one point -- tracking your food. This has been a key for me as well. In a couple weeks I'll have hit 1,000 days of weighing and logging every bite. It's really been a key for me, too.
I look forward to following your next year of success.

Nikke - I am only 1.5 years in, but seeing you when I first joined OH was part of what made me believe I could do it! You and Grim and Laura in Texas and a few others really inspired me!!! You look so freaking fantastic, and I am in complete agreement - track, weigh, and LOG food! You seriously don't even look like the same person. Amazing. Congratulations on working REALLY hard and seeing results!
Nikke - I'm always eager to read your posts because our surgeries were only a few days apart (my 2 years will be on 5/24). I'm really happy that you accomplished your goal of being "flirty by 30" And you're much more than that - you're FABULOUS!
Best of luck on the 2nd round of plastics - can't wait to see those pics. Can't even imagine what he's retouching on the LBL because you look GREAT!
