Hello everyone, I'm Ashleigh and I'm another newbie. I'm 21 and when I was a senior in high school (in 2007) I weighed 190, and in the past 3 years I've gained over 50lbs due to college and stress. (the proverbial freshman 15 zillion.)
I've struggled with getting healthy and dieting, but I've realized it's a life style change. and I'm really determined this time around. I live with my mom at the moment and she's not exactly supportive. I hear a lot of "you can't..." and "you'll never..." from her which is difficult in maintaining the decision to get healthy.
I realized I need a support system and I'm not going to get it at home, I thought maybe this would be helpful. I weigh 253 now and my first goal is to be below 200. I know it won't happen over night.. but I want to get back to a familiar place, first and foremost.
