Hi, my name is Ashley. Im starting my long weight loss journey. Ive had enough of being fat & lazy. Its time to make a change for me & my family! Im hoping that being able to track my journey will keep me positive & help me on those days where I just want a big king size snickers bar!!

I believe it is possible! I have been lazy too. I've noticed rolls and fat that I had never seen before. Seeing pics of myself now versus the "skinny" me gave me a wake up call! Don't give up and keep trying0

You've come to the right place, Ashley, and all the best in your journey. It can be difficult to get started, but MFP is an excellent resource, and I'm sure you'll find once you start tracking it's easy to pinpoint some low-hanging fruit, or should that be low-hanging snickers bars?0
