Hi Ashley! Welcome to 3FC, and best of luck with your weight loss!

Welcome, Ashley!
I started here just a few days ago, but yet I know how important support is on this weight loss journey. And that is what it is, a journey.
Don't be ashamed of being overweight. Look at the statistics of the number of obese people in this country, not that it makes it okay just that you are NOT alone. You are now one who realizes that she can do something about it! Good for you!
I know what you mean about having a hard time keeping up. I don't have kids, but I work around a lot of college students. Heck, internally I still feel like a college kid! But my body says, "WOAH! You're not only in your 40s, but you are like 100 lbs. overweight!" I'm not going to change my attitude about thinking young. I am however going to drop the pounds so if I want to do things like play softball, go hiking or whatever I can & not pass out or worse from it!
Good luck in your journey! Hope to see you here frequently. We can all help each other along the way!
