Hi, my name is Ashley and I'm a single mother of a wonderful ten year old son. I've struggled with weight issues since my teenage years and I've had periods of being skinny and I've had periods of being obese. I hit my highest weight ever about 9 months ago at 274!!!! I couldn't believe it!!! I was beginning to have bad sleep apnea where I'd be on my back sleeping and wake up gasping for air. I had to literally roll out of bed and was hiding from the world ashamed of myself. I finally made the decision to start losing weight and I lost my first 45 lbs within 5 months!!! But then Christmas/Thanksgiving rolled around and we all know how that goes lol but I at least maintained my weight and didn't GAIN. I did stop going to the gym and wasn't counting calories anymore though. I then saw the Insanity Max 30 infomercial and knew two of my family members who'd lost quite a bit of weight so I ordered it for myself. It's been 1 month and 2 weeks and I've lost about 15 lbs so far and feeling strong!!! I did my first two regular push ups (no knees) for the first time in years!!! I'm now down to 212 lbs and I sometimes feel discouraged with all the work I have left to do but I want to join this community to gain support and be here to support others
