My name is Nikki and I began my journey when I was on the women's varsity swimming and diving team at UNH, specifically my sophomore year. 

​

Although I was never obese, I was never comfortable or confident in my own body.  My most insecure body part was always my stomach. I had "the pooch" all my life. That chub roll along the bottom of my belly, around my waist for a good little muffin top. I would look in the mirror, grabbing what I didn't like and pick myself apart of everything that was wrong and that I hated.. But for some reason I would turn to food for comfort which would only make it worse. 

One day something clicked and I decided to stop wishing I looked different and actually do something about it. I researched diets and exercises for months and committed my free time to reaching my new goals. Along the process I became more confident in myself not only from reaching goals of how I looked but the fact I was now aware I could set high goals for myself and reach them. Fitness and nutrition became an outlet for me and a sense of empowerment. It saved me. 

Ultimately I want to inspire other people who are going through the same struggle as me and help people everywhere realize they are beautiful the way they are, but a healthy lifestyle will not only change your body but improve your self esteem, confidence, and respect for yourself. 

You are capable of making any change you desire and I'd love to be a part of your journey and help along the way.
