Ladies needing Weightloss Support and buddies.

Hey everyone, I'm new here. My name is Ashley and I'm a nearly 20 year old college student trying to lose weight. I started out at 250 when I was 17. I'll be 20 in May and I'm down to 177. Now I'm trying to reach my ultimate goal weight of 135 and get fit in the process. For the past five weeks I've been running, taking a Zumba class Wednesday nights, and doing occasional strength training.

I've been doing this on my own, with the exception of seeing a nurse every Friday to monitor my progress. Running, exercising, and changing a lifestyle on ones own can be difficult, so I joined this site and this group for motivation and support.

I hope that I can be there for all of y'all like I hope y'all can be here for me.

Thats great that you have come so far already! Looks like you are in your last stretch! Keep it up!

Hey! Your doing an amazing job!! I started at 223 & I am at 176 now...all by myself too. I started running a few weeks ago & it has made a big difference in the way I feel. I do an elliptical & weight machines at the gym plus I just started Pilates. It kicked my butt the 1st time but it was good. I like to mix up my exercise so I don't get tired of any one thing & will hopefully keep doing something.
It is hard to do this on your own. I got side tracked for awhile & I am just now getting back into it all. I'm into week 3.
You are doing great...Keep up the good work!

Ashley you are fantastic!!! You must feel great! Keep at it, and it will happen for you.

Awesome that you have done so much on your own - I'm so impressed!
