Hey My name is Candice and i started using this site just over 2 weeks ago. I need to lose about 25 kilos which is about 55 lbs. I'm 27 and australian and im loving this site. In the 2 weeks i have lost 2.4 kilos which is about 5 lbs. I'm so proud of myself for finally sticking to what i need to do and i love weigh in days. It really helps to spur you on seeing the numbers slowly descend on the scales.

I'm really missing my chocolates and cheesecakes and sweets and all the rest of the junk i used to eat all the time but im dealing with it. I keep wanting to treat myself but everytime i go to i think of weigh in on saturday and would hate to not lose any so i stay away from them. Once i get under 80 kilos though i will treat myself to a slice of cheesecake. And maybe some pizza lol. Anyway i know im rambling now.. sometimes i can't stop.

My point is im looking for more friends on this site to help with motivation and such. It always helps when you're having a week moment to get on here and see all the exercise and weight loss others have done on your news feed. And its always helpful to get comments on your thoughts. So if you think we could help motivate each other i'd love for you to add me :)

    add me if you want :D also it would be a good idea not to make your rewards food. Most of us have learned when we do that we wind up undoing all of our hard work, instead learn how to incorporate those things into your new life, its not that you can't have them its portion control, frequency control. For rewards do stuff like back massages or getting your hairs nails feet done something like that.

    I joined this site a while ago but I haven't added any friends... I figure I should start since I think it would help me take it more seriously! At first it was fairly easy for me to lose 10-20 lbs here and there, but I gained it back after a recent illness and it's not been so easy to lose this time for some reason. I too would like MFP friends. Feel free to add me as well! :)
