Hardcore Pawn's Ashley Gold decided to make a lifestyle change following an eye-opening visit to her doctor.
"After the New Year I went in for my physical, and my physician looked at me and goes, 'You are obese for your height'," the reality star – who is 5'3" and weighed 180 lbs. – tells People. " 'You have to be really careful.' "
"That's when it clicked for me," she continues. "I took charge of myself because my kids are young. I have to live for my family and I have to live for me. I want to be healthy."
The wakeup call...

Ashley Broad of truTV's "Hardcore Pawn," airing Tuesdays, remains calm as her brother and father grow emotional.
People often walk into American Jewelry & Loan, the Detroit pawnshop her family owns, with unrealistic expectations, such as mistaking cubic zirconia for diamonds, and end up leaving no richer than when they entered.
As viewers of the show, now in its eighth season, have learned, Broad loves to cook, and she buys kitchenware for the store. Even mundane cooking items, however, are not immune to the strangeness that can enter a pawnshop's door.
"People bring in cooking things sometimes," she tells Zap2it. "In one particular episode, someone brought in a rotisserie oven -- and brought it in with a raw chicken. Unfortunately, the food and health department would not allow us to take it."
She does, though, buy pots, pans and cookware -- when they are devoid of poultry.
Her favorite items are "grills.

“Good Morning America” told viewers to bring their potentially-valuable family heirlooms to Monday's show so the stars of truTV's "Hardcore Pawn" could appraise them in a segment called "So Not Junk."
Les Gold and Ashley Broad were there to do the appraising. First up was a pocket watch given to a man by his grandfather. Even though it wasn't in working condition, they valued it at $4,000. If the watch was ticking, it would have been worth more than double that.
The next item was a beautiful ring a woman's grandmother handed down to her that she remembered playing with as a child. The yellow stone in the middle turned out to be a 3-karat diamond worth $26,000. Clearly flabbergasted, all she could exclaim was, "What?!"
