Hello Everyone,

My name is Ashley.
I have decided to try again on this website, but actually make a difference this time!

I am 19 years of age, and My heaviest weight was 290 pounds.
I am currently 283.4 pounds.

My ultimate goal weight is 150lbs-160lbs!

I have been heavy for as long as I can remember.
I was 160lbs and a size 7 in grade 8 - and would love to have that body back!

My current jean size is 22/24.
I just want to be in single digits!

Some weaknesses for me:
- ice cream
- snacking
- late night eating
- I dont like doing this alone!



I am looking for some other people to talk to along this journey!

Whether you are here to gain, lose, tone, manage - I hope we can be friends!

We all have our stories, and I'd love to hear yours!

    Feel free to friend me! I'm in a very similar spot weight-wise AND goal-wise. Late night snacking is my downfall, too. :)
