in Introduce Yourself
Hey guys! My name is Ashley and I'm 19 years old and have put on a large amount of weight over the years due to stress amongst many other things like simply loving food. A few of my family members have joined this and are having huge amounts of success, which has inspired me to join and follow in their footsteps. I would love to lose about 50 pounds which I know will be a lot of work but I'm up to the challenge. I'm going back to school now though where it is so easy to put weight on as I've found, and could really use some more friends on here to help keep me motivated and in the losing weight state of mind. Of course I will do my best to keep you all motivated as well! I'm so ready to get the weight off and feel better about myself, so will welcome all the motivational friends I can get! Thank you all so much and good luck to us all! (:

    we're fairly close in age! i'm 18 and trying to lose like 60 more pounds. it was a little stress and a lot of depression that made me gain all this weight.
    i like to think i'm a good motivator, (hopefully i really am!) so feel free to add me!
    i could always use someone whose goals are fairly close to mine to motivate me, too xx

    Hi, I need to lose 50 pound as well, which I have gained from stress and living as a student.

    You can add me for support if you want.

    Hi. You can add me. I'm always using the app on my phone so I've always got time for my MFP friends :)

    I'm so glad you decided to join Ash, I think it has turned out to be a very beneficial app for many of us. I'm sure dorm life isn't the most conducive to this counting calories lifestyle, but I/we will help you in any way that we can. Good luck to you!! Love you.
