Hey guys!

Let me introduce myself and tell you a little bit about me! Well first off, my name is Ashley. I am 19 years old and 216 pounds. I have been overweight my whole life. I am in my first year of college and decided its time to make a life change! My goal is to lose 86 pounds by the end of the year! I want to take you on my journey. I will TRY to blog everyday. Im new to this whole blog thing so bare with me :)

I decided to start blogging because I feel that it will be a stress reliever and ill have a great support system on Spark People because we are all here to do the same thing! Don't get me wrong I have great family and friends but it feels like I have no one to talk to.

I was never bullied at school for being overweight. Here lately ive just been thinking a lot about the future and how my weight might effect it if I don't do something about it now. So enough with the ranting! Lets get started! I will blog later on tonight and let you know what I did and how I did on the first day of my new life!

Talk to ya later!
-Ashley :)
