Being addicted to candy and junk, that's the problem here. Because your body produces enough "sugar" on it's on, anything you eat in excess to that goes straight to your thighs. No one can help you until you help yourself. Don't stop cold turkey, just try to only have a little each day. Make sure that you always have fruits and vegetables close at hand, so you don't get hungry and eat whatever you can get. I am going to tell you the secret to losing weight for you, since you're already active, it's your food intake. Change it and you will see results in as little as a month.
