    Hey :)
    So my name is Ashley. Feel free to add me :)
    This is my ump-teenth time on here. Literally.
    My first time around, was great.
    I had a large, supportive, active, and encouraging group of friends on here, and I managed to start losing.
    Then life got busy, I transitioned to college, and lost track of it all.
    So, I am back, and making sure that I keep this as my homepage, so I can't possibly forget.
    Facts about me :
    - I am in college, online.
    - I am turning 22 this year.
    - I work part time.
    - I have been renting for a few years, but finally have a place alone (therefore, I can make ALL the food decisions now.)
    I am just looking to add a bunch of supportive friends, and help each other along our journeys.
    I don't care if you have 5 pounds, 10 pounds, or 200 pounds to lose.
    I don't care if you want to maintain, increasing your fitness, gaining weight, or what.
    Support is support, we are all on different journeys and that's okay!
    My Stats:
    - I am 315 pounds. It makes me cringe to think of that, I remember crying at 200.
    - I want to get to the 150 - 175 mark, BUT my goal is health, not a number.
    - Physically, my body hates me. I'm 21 and can't walk for 10 minutes without being in pain and out of breath.
    - My knees are like a 50 year olds.
    - I can't do stairs without being out of breath.
    - Running just doesn't happen.
    - I litterally feel my heart rate go up just getting out of bed.
    This NEEDS TO CHANGE.
    I will be writing many blogs, and such, as I love to write.
    And would love to start this journey with your help!
    ALL AND ANY ADVICE IS ALWAYS 100% appreciated.
    This time, I will post photos, public my diary, and accept all advice.. I know that I have to be accountable for my actions, I can't hide and pretend those 2 chocolate bars didn't just happen.

    - Ashley :)

    Nerds unite!
    I'm a fellow IT'er. Not a gamer, hope that doesn't disqualify me hehehe

    I've have never been a runner, always hated running, but somehow I'm in a Couch to 5K program with the 5K happening on November 2, only 5 weeks away - eek! I'm determined to finish the race

    Got a charge out of the image on the ops weight tracker, perfect avatar for a nerd

    I feel like I know you already being the wife of an IT jack of all trades and being a gamer, comic book hero nut, and cartoon freak. :P My hubby, 3rd son and I jumped on the fitness board last April. My eldest, second eldest and his fiance have recently joined the fight against fat as well. Family motivation rules!


    :) It's nice to meet you then! I'm happy to have you as a friend on this adventure!!! It's awesome having family on board as well it makes things soo much more inspiring and motivating!

    Wow, you're doing great!

    I'm a nerd and my children are hardcore anime/manga fanatics and now we're all brainwashing . . . ummm, I mean introducing my granddaughter to many wonderfully nerdy things.

    Add me if you like because I know I already find your success an inspiration.

    Good Evening Ms. Nikki_Yaz, a pleasure to meet you. I am sure there are many of us "nerdy" people out here. LOL! I to work in the IT field. I am a gamer as well, even though I had to step back for a while and come back down to reality, per say! :-) We have a few common interests as well, I love Cartoon, Technology, photography, crime solving shows/dramas, some sci-fi, sports, working out, and probably the worse of them all...food! LOL! But we're here to support each other and it sounds like you're off to a fantastic beginning. I will be sending a friend request, don't be decline because I don't like rejection! :-)
