HEY, I’M NICOLE!

A 22 year old over-sharer who documented losing 180 lbs on the internet and gained a lifetime of friends and support.

Embrace all the things that make you, you! Tell yourself to be better but not because you want to be better than someone else. I promise you this: you will THRIVE at your own pace as the winner of your own race if you put all your efforts into being the best version of yourself.

I’m a licensed Esthetician and I am obsessed with all things beauty, health, and wellness (oh, and cats too!).

I was extremely obese my entire life; rapidly gaining weight since a baby. Although I was active in sports, dance, and outside activities, I was ALWAYS hungry. I never felt satisfied, regardless of what I ate, even when I was on super strict diets. 

I tried countless diets, exercise programs, personal trainers, and supplements to aid in weight loss under physician supervision and was even in numerous weight loss studies for genetic childhood obesity. Nothing worked.

I underwent bariatric surgery my senior year of high school. Since my weight loss surgery, I have lost over 180lbs. I have completely changed my eating habits and exercise regularly to aid my tool of a smaller stomach.

If I could give you any advice as you start your journey it would be this: find your person, group, supportive platform, etc. that keeps you accountable. Finding my group was so important to my success which is why I’ve partnered with Enix Lifestyle; they not only provide science-backed solutions for weight loss but also have a built-in community to keep you motivated and on track (join me in the private Facebook Group).

Also document your success!! There’s nothing as rewarding as before/after photos to really see your progress. Find what works for YOU. We may all have the same goal, but losing weight is not a “one- size-fits-all”. This journey is SO mental; be prepared to really challenge yourself and make a better life for YOU. YOU GOT THIS!
