Hey Everyone!
My name is Ashley and I'm new to the cite. I'm working towards shedding 30 pounds of my body, it's been really hard work so far but I just hit my 10 lb. mark this morning when I weighed in! I've been exercising and making healthier choices when it comes to eating. I started this lifestyle change a few days after Christmas this past year. I looked at myself in the mirror after the final holiday party of the season and started crying, how had I gotten this bad? I am 5 foot 4 and 21 years old and am overweight according to my BMI. That day I vowed to now feel this terribly about myself anymore. At my first weigh in I maxed out at 173.5 lbs, the heaviest I have ever been. Since then I have been slowly working hard towards losing the unnecessary baggage that I have acquired. I'm finding it so difficult to find time to exercise and eat healthy meals now that I am back to school though. I am a senior in college in my last semester. It's so hard to balance 19 credit hours, 30 hours of work a week and a new healthy lifestyle. There doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day for me to cook healthy meals or not indulge in a late night snack while studying. I think that by posting on here knowing other people will be checking in on my progress it will help me to hold myself accountable!

You go girl!!! I live in Michigan too, and sometimes the weather gets me down. But this winter I joined a Snap Fitness center and have been going 3-4 times a week and now I'm training for a 10k in May! Last May was the first time I'd ever ran anything. Ever. I'm 38 and had never ran a mile before last spring!!! Now it's kind of an obsession and it's really changing my body for the better! I'm all for this site, pretty new myself (well I signed up a long time ago but just starting using it this week) and can't wait to lose these pounds and KEEP them off for GOOD!!!!!0
