Been around a while, but here is my official intro. Looking for a buddy!
 

Hey girls,
My names Ashley and ill be 23 years old next month. I have been overweight my whole life but the last 5 to 6 years it has just gotten out of control... Worsening each year. I got married in 07 and i got pregnant 2-3 months later I put on weight and continued to do so after my daughter was born. Then I started college and will graduate in may 2012. In 2010 I got serious I started eating better and working out, I even got a personal trainer. Unfortunately I broke two bones in my leg a few months later and had to have a pretty nasty surgery. I am still not 100% better and never will be, so I just stopped everything. And then January of this year I started calorie counting (1200 a day) and working out, I was doing great ( in my opinion ) I lost 25 lbs in 2 months, and then I found out I was pregnant again. I had my second baby girl on 10/14/11 and am now back to calorie counting I've been at it for 11 days and have lost 13 lbs. I will start to exercise again soon. I would love a buddy around my age and size.

Congrats on your new arrival best of luck with your journey :)

Are you a mirror? nearly same age, weight, and goal...wow. *taps mirror face and says in funny weird Barney voice...*"would you like to be my buddy?"

No seriously...I'm good for it. Honestly, I love to give advice, just you will have to badger me to do something...really. Otherwise I'm game.

CFAN: how weird, but also very cool! I'm excited to have someone I can relate to!

aasshhlleeyy - hello! I'm right here with you. Although I haven't had children yet but wanting to start once I feel better. I've delt with it my whole life. Started playing sports in high school and felt great. I was still about 150, size 14. After high school, I gained about 50 lbs then started dating my now husband and gained almost 80 lbs. Not to mention we now own a pizzeria. I can not express how hard of a time I am having trying to count calories and keep my self control under control. I would love to use you as a support system and be a buddy to you as well!

Congrats on the baby and welcome! :)

Good luck!

We're around the same weight right now and height! I'd love to be your buddy! I'm Shannon and I'm 24. I'm psuedo calorie counting (meaning right now I'm not following a plan but I'm still trying to keep calories down).
