ME TOO! Let's do it together!
I am Ashley and as you can tell from my screen name, I spend copious amounts of time reading. I am a SAHM and we dont do much TV so my five yr old and I are usually coloring or reading and chilling. I live a very sedentary lifestyle.
I also have a plethora of mental health issues to add to my bag of fun
among them are bi polar and severe depression, both of which help me eat my problems away with a single minded determination, and sleep apnea that my dr says I need a thing for to help me lose weight.
So today I have started my two year journey to get to a healthier weight of 150. That's a whole 200 lbs!
You are welcome to join me on this adventure or sit back with your low cal popcorn and watch either way HELLO WORLD

Welcome! It takes time, but it is doable. I'm also a bookworm (and a geek, and a fanfiction writer). Started here in Oct 2016 with 114lbs to lose to get down to a healthy weight. Now down to my last ten.
You've got the right attitude and you CAN do this.
If you need help or support, feel free to friend.5 -
Sounds like you got a great thing going! Good work!!!! What kind of fan fiction? Do you shate?0

These days, it's mostly OUAT, but I've done quite a bit of Batman before DC rebooted everything. I've also done some Daredevil. I seem to gravitate toward "divergence AUs" (basically, 'What if, at a certain critical juncture, someone made a choice other than the one they actually made in canon? What would THAT set in motion?')
Most of my stuff is here if you're interested: https://archiveofourown.org/users/Dragonbat/works1 -

I'm a book worm too and the Audible app is wonderful! Although not quite the same as reading, it allows me to get my book fix while walking or moving.0

I've been a member since 2011, but don't have any friends. My weight has gone up, yet again. I am looking to lose about 80 to 100 pounds. Maybe having some support would help.2

Thanks. I am along way from goal I have lost 50 since moving to Houston but that’s just not enough I have thought about surgery but I want to do this on my own if I can I am up and moving some and some days are better than others. But I think if we can just all encourage each other no matter where we are In our journey we will make it. 🤗🤗🤗1

Hi. I just joined yesterday and I have 100lbs to lose.
I’m looking for friends, help and support along the way please. Feel free anyone to add me as a friend.
I struggle to keep my mojo going I’m normally fine during the day it’s the evening it goes.
Thanks and good luck all xx3 -
Hey everyone! I "re-joined" yesterday - time to crack down and shed this weight. I'm looking to loose 119. I am 32 and I have severe rheumatoid arthritis so most days exercise is difficult for me but that's no excuse for poor eating.
I could use as much motivation & support as possible. I went to join our local Weight Watchers this week and turns out, they closed their doors and they no longer have a branch near me. I've assured myself I can do this with the support of this community and I hope I can support and motivate you, too. We can do this!
Please feel free to send me a friends request!
