Newbie here

Hi all,

My name is Candace and I am a newbie. I have been doing the dance with weight gain ever since I can remember. I was a chunky kid who hit a growth spurt over the summer before high school. I stayed fairly lean until I was about 21 and ever since then have dropped and gained non-stop. I know my biggest problem now is that I don't get enough physical activity. I am a makeup artists by trade and a work at home mom. Most of my chores around the house are standing or sitting chores with the exception of a few so I really don't get much movement in my days. Even when working, I just stand there and apply makeup.

Anyway, I started jogging about 6 months ago. I really built my stamina for a few weeks and was so proud of myself. Then I got really sick and just never picked it back up after I got well again. Now I have been walking in the mornings with the little one and decided to start trying again. Going to be walking for a couple weeks before I start my jogging training again. I want to re-establish my stamina and do a 5k in August. I hope that I can find lots of support here and lose weight and get fit!

Thanks for reading a little bit about me!
