Default Hi from MI.
Hi everyone. This may be a little lengthy and my apologizes if it is!

My name is Candace and I'm 23 years old from Michigan. I'm married to an awesome guy named Ryan whom I love and adore with my whole being. I work in daycare and I love my toddler kids!

I'm 5'4 and when I was in high school, I ALWAYS thought I was fat, weighing usually around 150ish-160ish lbs. I have now since ballooned up to 199 lbs and NOW I wish I was back to those "fat days" again! The other day, I stepped on a scale and it said I weighed 203 lbs. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. So right then and there I decided that I NEEDED a change. 2 years back, I lost 20 lbs and I felt GREAT about myself, but not only did I gain ALL that weight back, I gained an extra 10lbs for good measure.

So here I am today, a week into my diet and exercise and I've lost 4 lbs and I'm so motivated to get down to 130 lbs by March 2010. My goal is to be able to pick out ANY bikini I like and wear it to the beach. And I WILL achieve this goal. I've never felt so motivated in my life. I just need a good boost every now and again to push me through those hard times when I want to stumble, and I think 3FC will be great in helping me do so.

Sorry again for this being so long. I look forward to losing weight and getting healthy with the rest of you ladies (and gentlemen )

Hi! I'm from Michigan, also. There's something about the summers here just sneaking up and making you feel that whole OH CRAP I WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE LOST 25 POUNDS BY NOW thing, hehe. At least for me. I've tried lots of times... since June of '07 when I first joined this site. Don't be like me - keep that motivation you have! Good luck!
