Hello fellow better health and weight seekers

I'm pleased to be in here with you guys, searched through the success stories..inspirational!!
I'm 25 yrs old from Calgary, AB (CANADA) , newly married as of June, 5'3" and 196lbs currently, but I am down 10 pounds since January due to running and somewhat watching diet, however I currently ran out of gas as far motivation to lose weight. I'm looking to make it down to 150-155 (although at my fittest I was 162lbs so I know how hard that will be). I'm discouraged because I was once very fit at 20 doing pre-entry firefighter training and working out 5 days a week.
But since I became an emergency medical technician, doing a sitting down job has really caused me to battle my weight every year. Every year I watch what I eat, limit carbs, eat healthy, and slim down a bit, but then my weight goes right back up by the end of every winter. 4 years this has been happening and I'm tired of it!
I even once got Candida 2 years ago and had to quit everything carb/fake sugar/caffeine for about 10-11 months in order to rid it from my body and I dropped 30 pounds in 3 months and kept it off till the candida was gone. It seems I easily fluctuate about 20-25 pounds, sigh.
I have been doing INSANITY for the last three weeks and am on my 4th week of month 1. I started running in january, and although I only lost 10 pounds, I have definitely lost inches (as below). I started MyFitnessPal last week, and I've just finished my first week and must say I really do love this app. I've adapted a bigger appreciation for lifestyle change (grass-fed beef/poultry/eggs, legumes and such) and must say I never ever tried to eat no processed foods, but here with this app, I'm going to give it a go. Hope to see you guys in the success story section one day. Add me or chip in here if you want me to add you!
