The good stuff: I currently eat lots of chicken, fish and beef (without any fatty condiments.) I haven't had any form of fast food since I was about 14 years old. Same goes for pop (or I guess I should say cola for all you guys down south..) I have a 100 lb dog who requires, at a minimum, one two hour walk a day. Every two-three days I take him on a half hour run in addittion to his daily walk.
The bad: I am addicted to candy. Not chocolatey stuff, but the gummy sweet stuff. It's my one bad habit I cannot kick. Also, two years ago I stopped going to the gym. I used to go 5 days a week, but my dad passed away and I just didn't want to do anything. I have recently started going back, but find it hard to go more than one or two days a week on top of taking my dog out for some cardio.
So it's time for me to drop 30 lbs!

Welcome to the site!
That candy is a killer, and you'd be surprised how big of an impact it's having. How are your other eating habits? Since you just started going back to the gym, a 5 day a week regimen would be tough right away, maybe you can work back into that eventually, eh?
