Good Morning!

Hello everyone! My name is Candace. I have been trying to lose weight for years but can’t seem to lose more than just a few pounds before giving up. Back in college I was able to lose about 40 pounds but I slowly regained that weight back as I decreased my activity. I just joined this site 5 days ago and am already in love with it! I find the success stories and the message boards very motivating and encouraging and the phone app makes it very convenient to track my progress. I would love for you guys to add me as your friend so that we can keep each other motivated!

    I struggle with my weight after my children were born,,,many years ago and I never really got a handle on it until I got olders and wiser. Now I love working out at the gym or walking, biking and swimming. I have lose lot of inches and very little weight, becasue I'm building up my muscle. I love site as well and so many people willing to help and push you to your goal. God knows that I need all of the help that I can get. So welcome!
