Hey I'm Ashley. I have been at this a little over two months now. I started at 380lbs and am currently floating around 338-340. I have a long way to go and would love friends to help keep me motivated!

I am 24 years old and looking to get down to 200lbs in the next couple years. Possible? I think so :)

    Thank you all for replying! I think having people going through similar things is helping alot! It is so easy for me to get frustrated if I have a bad weigh-in (which happens of course but being a daily weigher makesit frequent). Hearing others' experiences gives me the strength to keep going most days :)

    I know how you feel. I am hovering around 325-330 and seem t o have a harder time really sticking to it. I am terrible about logging my food, worse about actually drinking water, and it seems like I only stay really motivated when I have a good group of people around me. I've sent you a friend request :)

    Accepted of course :) we can do this! All I really drink is water these days lol maybe not as much as I should daily and I dont log it lol I log everything I eat but feel like I underestimate amounts some times. :( we bought a food scale but I dont have time to do that when making my breakfast and lunch for work and when dinner comes its often cold if I take time to weigh and look it up... some things arent in ounces on mfp anyways so then you have to find conversions and its just too hard lol or I'm just lazy cause alot of people seem to be ok doing all that haha

    Hi Ashley! I'm Ashley too! I'm 26 years old and just weighed in at the heaviest I have ever been this morning. 347.9 pounds. I have a way to go but I am ready to get there! My ultimate goal is to be at a healthy weight by the time my husband finishes law school so we can start a family. He starts law school in the fall so that gives me 3 years which I think is doable, especially since I am getting a head start. Feel free to add me everyone!

    I wish I can say I am as young as you guys lol. I am 32 and I want to start a family as well, back in Nov I was told I have PCOS and been put on a few meds to help me fix things. and I know being healthy will help a lot. We can do this together. I know the last time I lost the weight I was very active with talking with people and being very active in the forums. I am going to do my best. and I am always welcoming tips, food ideas, exercise videos whatever you wish to share I will give it a try

    Ok..question. How do I figure what calories I burn just walking through Walmart with my mom at a slow pace (we were there for about an hour) and from chair yoga (mostly stretching). I want to do yoga so I'm starting out slow.
