Hiya everyone,

I am Ashley, 23 years old, and live in Northern Virgina, right outside DC. I've been dieting with my sister for about two and half weeks now. I am a college student (graduating with my Bachelor's next June and will be working on my Masters next) majoring in Elementary Education. My sister and I decided to diet when we were both told we are on the borderline for diabetes and had high blood pressure. She is 17 and it gave us our wake up call. We both use myfitnesspal to track our weight loss, so I thought I would also join some communities. Though we support each other, it's still nice to have even more support. So far I've lost nearly nine pounds, started the journey at 235.2 pounds and now have reached 226.5 pounds. I hope I get to find some like minded people here and we can help each other reach our goals!

Ashley
