in Introduce Yourself
My name is Ashley, and I've struggled with weight since I was 16 (I'm now 24). In high school, I developed EDNOS and once weighed 118 at 5'9---not healthy at all. After I recovered, it seemed like I couldn't stop binging and eating all the wrong foods.

For the most part, I've been able to move past unhealthy habits, but am trying to find a more comfortable weight. Since high school, my weight has fluctuated, but I'm currently 160ish at 5'9, aiming for 145.

I'm a local business/politics journalist for a small community paper, triathlete, half-marathoner, ballerina, ballet instructor, wife and yogi. And, hopefully, soon-to-be Yorkie owner.

I'm looking for supportive female friends in their 20s - please feel free to add me!

    Adding! I'm on the later side of 20s(I'm 28) but I can understand going through some of those bad eating habits. When I was 17-18, I dropped down to 120, which would have been GREAT as I am 5'2", but I did it by barely eating anything at all and excessively exercising. Now a decade later I am at my heaviest ever but I am determined to change that. I want to lose it the proper way, the healthy way!

    Id love to! Ive always been a bigger girl, and I would lose 5 lbs and gain it back and so on. Even in highschool iwas 180lbs (At 5"2 thats not good!)
    At 21 i have finally made the decision to smarten up. Im not looking at this as a short term thing, Im avoiding using food as a reward, and Im trying to make this a permanent way of life. I want to eat healthy, to be healthy. Not skinny or slim, just healthy.
    Add me please! Would love to see your posts in my feed for encouragement!

    I'm 27, and back on MFP after losing 50 lbs in 2011 and gaining 30 back in 2012. I went through a divorce in early 2012, and I tend to eat my feelings and engage in retail therapy...so now that my clothes don't fit and my wallet is empty, I'm ready to get back in shape. :)

    I'd love a new pal on the same road.
