Rachelle,

Congrats on your life altering change! It takes a very strong person to do what you did and I'm happy that you had the courage to do it.

Oh yeah, good job with the weight loss too!

Theres not much more I could say that hasn't already been said, but Congrats on over coming such a daunting issue. I know first hand how hard it is to over come such a thing. I have had a lot of people around me go through this, some have made it, others are trying, and some don't care. But it is so pleasing to hear your story and know another one has been saved. Keep up the great work and good luck to you.

Stacie

Hey there, Rachelle,

I guess I didn't notice the success tab in your posts, but I just did and read what you've been through. You are a very strong person to have overcome that. You should be very proud of yourself. We all are!!!! And it's great you decided to share that story, because it WILL help somebody else. In one way or another, it will. All that you have been through will only make you stronger in the long run. Just remember, everything happens for a reason!!

Congratulations to you. You look amazing. You are very beautiful, inside and out. Keep up the great work!!!

Cara

Hiya Rachelle,

I finished reading your success story, and have to say that you are *awesome*, not just physically, but also (and more importantly) in your character. Congratulations on the path you chose to follow, and on good luck on the continuing journey! Thanks also, very much, for sharing your personal story of success.

And lastly, thanks for your ongoing support of others on the board. You rock!

Best wishes,
Mark

Default Rachelle's story sounds familar

I use to be into hard drugs. I ate every few days, but the majority of my calories came from beer. I was 112lbs, now I'm clean, size 12 and 145lbs. I'm hoping to get down to a size 5.
