Hi all! My name is Candice. I have been a WW member for a while but wasn't really following it. I heard about MFP from a friend on Facebook and wanted to check it out. The Android app seems to be pretty good, and so far I like the site quite a bit. I need something to change, my 32nd birthday is next month and I am at my highest weight ever. I have 2 young boys and I do not want to set a bad example and let them think that being this overweight is OK! I need to get healthy. For my boys and for myself. Here we Gooooooooo :)

    Those are great reasons to get fit. Kudos to you for realizing that one plan wasn't working out for you and for starting a new one. I absolutely love the android app. I use the barcode scanner to scan in my foods as I prepare them. Feel free to add me as a friend. I'd love to help support you on your journey!

    hey all i am suzie and i just signed up today. I have done weight watchers in the past had great results but with my kid's busy sports agenda i had to miss some meetings and then just did not go back. I went to my doctor last week and he told me i needed to lose weight and quit smoking. I need a lot of prayers for the not smoking part. losing weight is the easiest. I am so happy though since last wednesday i have not had a mellow yellow!!!!. Good luck to everyone here and i will check in everyday. God Bless!
