hello everyone! I’m Rachael, 22 years old, and desperately trying to lose weight! I have always had weight issues, but at puberty is when it really started packing on. I was absolutely crushed when a few months after I got married (about 8-07), I reached my all time high of 305 pounds!

My husband and I started TTC our first baby in July 2007, a few weeks after we tied the knot. In April 2008, I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), and in May 2008 I was diagnosed with stage 4 Endometriosis after a lap surgery.

After the surgery, and a slight change of diet, I dropped weight rapidly, losing 40 pounds in just a few months, down to 265. I was so excited, and then my motivation started to die off and I stopped doing all my changes. I’m now back up to 287 and so discouraged and upset, because I HAVE to lose this weight!

Anyway, I’m looking forward to getting to know everyone! I plan to work on light exercising around the house, jogging in place while watching TV instead of just sitting, and taking my dogs for a walk for 1-2 hours a day. I’m also going to be keeping track of my calories and exercise on here in, and hopefully get back on track with a new diet!
