I'm back... I'm back after a break that was far too long... After a break where I tried to convince myself that I was OK in this body, that I didn't care if I gained 10, 20, 50, 100 lbs. But I do care. I can't stand being stuck in this body and gaining weight on an almost daily basis. I'm all for body positivity, but if I don't love what I see in the mirror, something has to change. This year was supposed to be a turning point for me, I celebrated my 30th birthday 4 months ago, and I swore I would make changes... Big changes... This year. I still have time. I can refocus, truly make some changes this time. And I will, that's why I came back, it's time to make some permanent changes.

So if you're willing to be a support buddy, please take a second to add me - on here and with UP (you can find me on UP with my email mrs.ashleyshafer@gmail.com). Thanks, I'm going to need all the support I can find.

    Sent a friend request + added you to my UP team. Hands down, the best weight-loss advice I ever received was to read the Sexypants post: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/1080242/a-guide-to-get-you-started-on-your-path-to-sexypants/p1

    I have Hashimoto's, and I lost more slowly than most MFPers—so be patient. Learn to log everything you eat & drink accurately & honestly. Logging works.

    All the best,
