OMG do I have a growth?!?!?
I was doing my crunches the other day when all of a sudden my tummy had an itch. I proceeded to scratch the right side of my stomach when I felt a lump. I pushed on it and it was tender. In the midst of my panic I thought to myself "Now Ashlee, this is a funny spot for a lump. Check the other side." So I did. It was there…

It was that same weekend I found a great Chaps coat on a…

Eighty pounds gone... not all of MFP
Many of you have been wondering why I am sweating out these last 4 pounds. The reason is that I was formerly quite large. The before picture was taken several years ago. That's not even at my highest weight. Now that I am close to my goal weight, I hope that I have learned enough about nutrition and exercise to keep the…

Know it doesn't seem like a lot....
But to me it's a bit of personal success. I have to congratulate those who have lost a lot of weight so this may not seem like a lot to anyone. I wrote my first blog entry on this yesterday. The before pics were me before I used to gym. I would starve myself most days and binge on weekends, I was addicted to diet pills and…

Pictures tell the story....

I weighed in at 294 pounds and started a do-it-yourself 'diet'. Couple months later I had only lost nine pounds. Then I got involved with…

Tiny happy dance for me.
We moved to Colorado almost 8 months ago. I had a ton of clothes that I decided to go through to get rid of the stuff that I haven't worn since I moved here.
