By high school, she wore a size 14\/16.\u00a0 Since that time she has continued to gain weight, adding more than 100 pounds to her 5&#8242; 5&#8243; frame. Ashley hates bumping in to old friends and classmates because she&#8217;s embarrassed about being overweight. She feels like she is stuck in a body that doesn&#8217;t allow her to live life, be herself, and dress how she&#8217;d like. Ashley finds it hard to work at a spa that concentrates on well being because she thinks that she projects a negative image to clients.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Other Spellings <\/strong>Ashli, Ashely, Johnson, Jonston, Johnstone<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.anrdoezrs.net\/click-1825067-10419578?sid=BL9Bio\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lduhtrp.net\/image-1825067-10419578\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Shop the Official Biggest Loser Store\" width=\"468\" height=\"60\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>DietsInReview.com is your Biggest Loser 9 resource. <strong>Sign-up now for the <a title=\"biggest loser newsletter\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/newsletters\/subscribe\/\" target=\"_self\">Biggest Loser Newsletter<\/a><\/strong> and each Wednesday you\u2019ll get the most up to date information on contestants and trainers, plus Biggest Loser recipes, interviews, giveaways and more!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Keep up with Ashley Johnston&#8217;s journey in Biggest Loser season nine.
