Rachel's weight loss journey

My journey to a healthier me


About Me

Hi!  My name is Rachel, I'm 26 years old, married since 1/8/05 to my husband Shaun, and currently working to lose 83 pounds with Weight Watchers!  I love to watch Food Network, cook, work out (sometimes), sing, read, hang out with my hubby and sisters, shop and get pedicures.  

I restarted my journey with Weight Watchers in May 2005.  It was basically smooth sailing until March 2006.

Since March 2006, my WW journey (and life in general at times) has been rocky at best.  But I'm proud to say that I'm still here, and I'm still trying.  Sadly, some of the weight I'd lost has crept back on.  

I accept full responsibility for my actions, and I am going to make better choices from this point on.  Thanks to everyone who has supported me and continued to believe in me, despite setback after setback.  I want to be a healthier me and live a long life to be around for my husband, my sisters, my family, and my future children.  I truly believe I am an addict, and every day is a struggle not to binge.  With God's help and the support of my family and friends, I am determined to break this dangerous pattern.  I will update more often and hope to start making progress again from this point on.  Thanks for stopping by!
