My name is Erin Smith, I go by Nikki. I am 23 years old. I have always been overweight, but it hasn't been until the last few years, after graduating high school, finding my boyfriend (4 years now), and moving out of my parents house, that I gained a significant amount of weight. I am at my highest weight now. I have tried every diet in the book including joining Weight Watchers. Two years ago, my mom and I decided we were going to do the surgery together. Needless to say she went through with it and I didn't. Now, I regret doing that, but obviously my mind wasn't set which plays a key aspect in success. My mom weighed in at 275, she is now 140 lbs and a whole new different person ( in a good way). She did her first Mini Marathon, Tour De Cure on her bike, and many other events. She has really inspired me! So on January 3, 2014 at 12:30 pm I will be starting my new journey and I couldn't be more excited. I can't wait to be able to join my mom in all of her running events, be healthy enough to get pregnant in the future, and just be healthier over all. I am nervous, but if I wasn't then I think that'd be a problem. Stay tuned to see how my journey is going.... :)
