What I look like now

After losing 44 lbs this is what I look like now. It is better than my previous picture but I still have 41 lbs to go before I hit my goal. Some of my goals include being able to just put on a bathing suit and go swimming with friends or family instead of saying "I don't fell like swimming today". I live in Vegas of course I want to go swimming it is flippin hot in the summer.

Another very big goal of mine it to run a 1/2 marathon. I want to be able to run one by December.

I want rock hard abs a six pack would be great.

To achieve my goals I plan on sticking to my Weight Watchers points and working out 6 times a week for at least one hour. Making sure I am mentally prepared for success.

Why I am here?

Hi my name is Ashley. This was me July of 2007. I had given birth 3 months prior to my second child Charlie. I gained 45 lbs during my pregnancy not as bad as 60lbs with my first, Andrew but still way to much. I was doing great and lost 20 lbs right away. But baby blues hit me hard and I put the 20 lbs right back on.

My breaking point. My parents were in town and we were taking pictures and I look at my digital camera to make sure it looked okay and I just broke down I had no idea I looked that bad. I started taking some nutritional crap to help with the depression and started eating better. Having worked at Jenny Craig for 3 years I knew what I should be doing but just struggled with daily motivation. Losing 15 lbs in 3 months I decided I needed a little help so I joined Weight Watchers I have lost 30 lbs in 5 months. But I still struggle every day to keep on track so I am hoping that this Biggest Loser Competition will be what this body needs.

By the way everyone I will be the biggest loser.
