Fresh Start - Looking For Support!

1992mittens13

Hey

So my name is Ashley.
This is my ump-teenth time on here. Literally.
My first time around, was great.
I had a large, supportive, active, and encouraging group of friends on here, and I managed to start losing.
Then life got busy, I transitioned to college, and lost track of it all.
So, I am back, and making sure that I keep this as my homepage, so I can't possibly forget.

Facts about me :
- I am in college, online.
- I am turning 22 this year.
- I work part time.
- I have been renting for a few years, but finally have a place alone (therefore, I can make ALL the food decisions now.)

I am just looking to add a bunch of supportive friends, and help each other along our journeys.
I don't care if you have 5 pounds, 10 pounds, or 200 pounds to lose.
I don't care if you want to maintain, increasing your fitness, gaining weight, or what.
Support is support, we are all on different journeys and that's okay!

My Stats:
- I am 315 pounds. It makes me cringe to think of that, I remember crying at 200.
- I want to get to the 150 - 175 mark, BUT my goal is health, not a number.
- Physically, my body hates me. I'm 21 and can't walk for 10 minutes without being in pain and out of breath.
- My knees are like a 50 year olds.
- I can't do stairs without being out of breath.
- Running just doesn't happen.
- I litterally feel my heart rate go up just getting out of bed.

This NEEDS TO CHANGE.

I will be writing many blogs, and such, as I love to write.

And would love to start this journey with your help!

ALL AND ANY ADVICE IS ALWAYS 100% appreciated.

This time, I will post photos, public my diary, and accept all advice.. I know that I have to be accountable for my actions, I can't hide and pretend those 2 chocolate bars didn't just happen.

- Ashley

Hey Ashley, I just sent you a friend request, I'm in the same boat as you. I've tried to lose weight so many times now since I was a preteen. I just want to be healthy.

I've got between 50-70 to lose, but I'm going to start with 50

We can do it together


Anyone else who wants to add me:
I'm 23 year old female,5'6, and started at 212 lbs. Wanting to be some 150 for now
