in Introduce Yourself
Hi there,

I just joined the community today and would love to have some more friends for encouragement and accountability!
My husband and I own a candy store so for me accountability is huge! I am surrounded by temptation every day and I have found it helpful to log my diet in the past. Having a community along side calorie counting seems like a great combination :)

I'm looking forward to getting to know some of you!

What are your weight loss goals?

I'm working to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight and have about 30 Lbs to go!

    Hey There!

    A candy store?!?! Ooooh yes, I can imagine the temptation is very high! At least it would be for me!

    I'm looking to lose about 30lbs and just started this on Jan 1st. If you'd like, add me!

    LOL! Yep, it is super tempting! I used to think I had such great self-control...I didn't realize was that my self-control was successful because I didn't surround myself with tempting things...my life is different now and I've become pretty weak in this area, but I have no doubt that self-control is a skill I can take back :)

    I could never work in a candy store... i love sour candy which!!! that is the reason i don't keep any in the house. I guess i have the opposite I work as an ER nurse so instead of having all the things I would love to eat, I see all the things that happen when you make bad choices (not that candy is a bad choice... like i said i love candy). I am trying to use it as a motivator, that and my children. I never want them to have the awful relationship with food that I did.
