Hi, my name is Candice Dowland. I am married with two children. I am always tired and need to eat healthier. I started myfitness pal about a week ago and I like it. I am a stay at home mom going to school online, so I cook all three meals at home or at least try. I need all the ideas I can get, so that it can be different all the time. The same thing all the time gets old and than I tend to go back to the meals that are not so healthy. I have the wii fit, so I try to exercise everyday. I never exercised except for walking until now. I never been on a diet before. I just know that if I was healthier, I dont think I would be so tired all the time and I could get more things done. I also would like to make sure what I do here is something that I will do forever, so that the weight dont come back twice as much as before. I need to loose 40 lbs. to be were I was before I had my first child.
Looking forward to meeting you all!!
Thanks so much,
Candice Dowland

    Welcome to MFP,
    I'm new on here too.. but have been dieting for the last 5 years.... I've lost as most as 34lbs, and gained it all back plus some, so I'm back on it now....
    First off a multivitamin is a good way to start your day off, I always eat my fruit in the morning, a yogurt or a smoothie, the sugar in the fruit is good sugar and gives me a good burst of energy..

    I've come up with sooo many different healthy yummy recipes to spice my food up, my one thing i put on everything is fried onion, but I cook it in a vinigerette salad dressing instead of cooking oils.
    I would love to share some of my recipes with you, I will add you as a friend and we can go from there :)
    Good luck :)
