Restarting my journey to lose weight and NEED friends!

Hey everyone, my name is Ashley and I'm 23. I was on here a year and a half ago and lost 40 pounds in 3 months, but then my dad got diagnosed with cancer and I gained all the weight back plus some more. Now, I'm back on here and ready to make a change. I'm at 305 and I'm 5'8" and want to get to about 170.

I could sure use some motivational buddies on here to help me along!
Please feel free to add me and I will support you as well :)

    I have rejoined this site for who knows how many times lol. I have been working on dieting and exercise for several months with little results so Im back on the calorie counting train. I've added you - I started a group of 20 somethings so we can all motivate each other. Look for my women in their 20s topic in general diets (i think thats where i posted it) to find more same-age friends!
