And kristenprainone, we're in very similar situations. I'm 41 with 4 kiddos and roughly 50 pounds to lose. I'd love to add even more positive peeps to my friends list!

Hello gorgeous! I'm so glad you stopped by to visit! Let me introduce myself, I'm Candace Collins-Finley!

I am 27 years old and I live in St Augustine, Florida with my amazing, supportive husband Patrick! We have been together since 2011 and got married in November 2014 on our three-year anniversary as a couple! We got married (just the two of us) on the beach and went to Paris for our dream honeymoon!

I have not always been fit and happy, in fact I started my journey at 240 lbs! I remember trying on my clothes one day and not being able to zip it up! I wore the largest size the store carried (a size 18/20) and my clothes didn't fit! I really love fashion too, by the way! I love to read fashion magazines and look at the gorgeous clothes and makeup the models wore. I looked in the mirror everyday wishing I could be smaller and fit into the beautiful clothes I saw in the fashion magazines and on the runway! I wasn't sure what to do, walking around could get pretty tough, I would get tired and sweaty just walking for a little outside. I had been engaged a little over a year at this point, and I wasn't sure when I'd ever feel pretty enough to walk down the aisle, in a gorgeous gown...

To this point I have lost over 47 lbs by changing my mindset, fitness, and nutrition and I want to help you too! Take a look at my photos to see how far I've come!

I've always had a passion for helping others achieve their goals! I have over 7 years experience working in the financial industry, helping coach other towards their financial goals, and worked most recently as a financial advisor. Once I realized how far I have come in my fitness goals I knew I wanted to help others with theirs!

Will you join me in reaching our goals together?

Congrats well done

Hey there! I just sent you a message, hope that helps!

Hey lovely ladies! I hope everyone keeps trying and know that you are beautiful and worth it! Don't ever give up on yourself! Sometimes the scale doesn't budge even when you're doing everything right! This has happened to me so many times! I found I'm either gaining muscle from my workouts or bloated from too much salt which will eventually go away with cleaner eating and more water.
