Hi, all! I'm Ashton. I'm nineteen years old and I'll be 20 in just a couple of months. I'm from North Carolina. I'm studying to be an elementary teacher. I'm LGBT friendly, being a lesbian myself. I'm learning to love myself. And this journey is only the beginning.
My entire life has been one weight loss struggle after another. I don't recall ever being small. Not even as a child. I recall being bullied and teased for my weight. And things like that can change someone's life forever. It's honestly scarring. I'm tired of being that girl. I'm going to make a change for myself and as a big "screw you" to those who thought I couldn't do it.
I'm 5'8" and 258 lbs, but a week ago, I was 266.5 lbs. I've started my weight loss journey and I'm read to kick it up a notch. I'm not new to weight loss communities, but I am new to MFP and I would love some friends for my journey!

It helps you keep track of everything...I would recommend opening up everything so your friends can give suggestions and lots of motivations. Good luck...and stay strong.
