Let's help each other out!

AshleyLodge86

Hello!
Just decided to stop reading everyone else's posts, and get my own account! I have never been a member on any forum at all, so this is all new to me
My name is Ashley, I am 26 years old, and I used to be in very great shape. I worked out 5-6 days a week for about 45 minutes. I am 5'5" and weighed 117 lbs. I was a size zero, (despite all the pizza I ate and beer I drank!) and looked and felt wonderful.
Then my husband and I hit a tree going 65 MPH and rolled down a hill several times.
Most important: we are both alive, and after my spine, sternum, and ribs healed 6 mos. later, I am pleased to say I have been working to loose the 20 lbs. I gained in recovery! I have recently quit smoking as well, and I am looking forward to a long life of fitness and happiness!

I am a Jillian Michaels fanatic. I lost 56 lbs. two years ago by way of her DVDs, and I will continue to loose that weight I gained again. I do, like everyone else, need some extra help and encouragement along the way, and I am hoping there may be people with knowledge on this site regarding injuries who may be able to coach me through certain hard days I have.
I also look forward to encouraging any one who needs it! I am a pretty busy chick, but if you message me, I will do anything I can to help you get in gear!

Hope to speak to everyone soon! xx

Welcome! I'm sorry to hear about your accident but its fanatic that your working out again.

Also, there are some technical issues with the tickers. The sites working on it I think, mine is just showing as a series of numbers too.
