  • Hi everyone! I'm Ashley...

    and I'm 25 years old....and I've come to realize things are only going to get more out of hand if I don't do anything about it lol. Right now my stats are 5'5'' at about 245 lbs *YIKES* .... I'm a girly girl who loves make up and looking cute....but it's hard to do that when you feel like nothing you do works on a fat face and big body lol....plus it doesn't help that if you have to buy larger clothes...the designers seem to think that you're an old lady *think flower print tops, big shirts with winnie the pooh on them, lol, and stretch pants, etc...* lol (not meaning to offend anyone at all but I try to go more for the trendy type stuff...which is getting harder and harder to find lol). Anyway, I'm really not as superficial as i kinda just made myself sound lol so sorry about that. I just feel like I want to be as cute and sexy for my hubby as I can because right now I feel like he's more than I deserve anyway...I want him to be proud to show me off and stuff Anyway, I know it's a long way but I'd eventually like to get down to about 130-140...but i'd still be ok as long as I made it to 180..which is about what size I was when we got married almost 7 years ago. So I hope i meet some great people to share stories and tips of success and encouragement here. You all seem nice from what I've read so far. Well, that's it for now I guess...i'll try to post a pic later....I need to take a good new one

        hey ashley and welcome. i want to say one thing, you need to "want" to do this for yourself not your hubby. you willbe more successful that way. just wait until you see a difference in your body it will give you the most satisfying feeling and you will want to do it for you not anyone else!~renee~

        My advice to myself: look in the mirror and tell yourself that that "cheat" is what got you here in the first place! You can make it without it!!!

                Hey Ashley - WELCOME! Reading your post made me think of the most hilarious book (memoir) I just read by author Jen Lancaster - Such a Pretty Fat. If you're into reading at all, I'm sure you'd love it. It's ALL about the cute shoes, fab-u-licious outfits, and the sudden realization that strikes her... "what good is having pedicures if I lose my foot to adult onset diabetes?". Check it out. You'll laugh your face off. And Good Luck!!! See you aroud the boards!
