Hi Everyone,
I'm Rachael from sunny southern California!
Actually, I installed the MFP app on my phone some months ago, but am now just using it.
I started my weight loss journey 2 years ago. At my heaviest I was 300lbs, I decided to get healthy and feel better and got down to 203lbs. by July of 2010. After some personal struggles and health issues, I gained 22lbs! :grumble:
I'm hoping to hit my goal weight of 185 by the end of 2013 and I'm looking forward to meeting some awesome folks to join me on this journey to better health.

-- Warmly,
Rachael :flowerforyou:

    Hello Rachael and Welcome to MFP! THis is a great place to find all the motivated people you need to help you through your journey. I'm Marissa and from Norcal so it's nice to have someone in the same time period. I've been logging here for 55 days now and have already seen results so I know this works. With patience and perseverance I know we can all get to our goals in a healthy manner. You're already on your way there and have done a good job so far. We hit bumps on the road and we fall off but we can always get right back on and keep moving forward. Feel free to add me if you wish, I'm here off and on throughout the day. Hopefully I can cheer for you on good days and cheer you up on bad days. Have a nice day! :flowerforyou:
