I am happy to see you reaching out Ashley. Spark People along with BBQ's is an excellent tool to help you on your journey. This is something you have to work at. It will not be easy so build a strong foundation now. Set goals with eating and exercising now if you have not already done so. Blessings.

My name is Ashley. I am 22 and I want to lose 100 lbs.

This is my first week and my first really dedicated attempt to live healthy and exercise.
So far I have lost 5 lbs since Monday and this has really gotten me excited to lose weight.
Stress is definitely a hurdle for me right now as well because I am going through a really bad breakup, but i am confident that I will continue my journey.

Hey Queens June is almost over and I'm down 5lbs. I started a challenge with myself no need to wait on anyone else we have to be able to do this thing alone although doing it with others is a lot of fun and you get more motivation.But sometimes you have to stand alone. So why not challenge yourself you'll be glad you did I know I am.
