Hello Rachel. You are in for a journey of a life time. And Am sure you are going to love the new you. I Did, I so love myself now. Wish you all the best and good luck.

Hi Rachel. I like you have been overweight for many years - started after birth of my children. i know I sure am looking forward to a new thinner body. i used to be thin so I do know how it used to feel though and I miss those days! I am sure you will be just deligted with your new wt. loss and wonder "why did I wait so long to do this:?" Just like me. ha ha

Your day is getting closer and closer! Good Luck!

I love the way you are approaching it! You are so right...I believe that heavy people are overlooked or at least not given the second look. Now it is amazing what a rush it is to do any task...going to the grocery store or whatever and how many glances I get...this morning I was taking my 3 yr old son to school and my son said..Mom the guy in that truck is looking at you....mind you I am staring at the light waiting for it to turn green..thinking i have forty million things to do today and here someone else is paying attention to me where as before...it more than likely wouldn't have happened. I am going through all of our pictures and trying to reorganize/sort our photo albums...I can barely look at those pictures compared to how I am now. What it is doing is giving me so many reasons to stay on track and keep the 130 lbs off forever and ever!! Whatever it takes to motivate you..use it to its fullest!! I wish you the very best!!!

That is such an awesome way to look at it. I too have been overweight my entire life. When I was 3 I was a normal weight for my age but I was 3, lol. I can see the weight loss already in my face and already confused my reflection in a mirror with a stranger staring at me, lol. I was a lil embarrassed by that. But its crazy that things like that happen. I can not wait to go shopping for clothes that arent priced extra because they are larger sizes. I wish you so much luck and hope that I can keep up the way that I am going.
