in Introduce Yourself
Hey Yall, I am Rachael. I live in Moore, Oklahoma where I go to school full time and also stay at home with my three kids. I love to read and hate being fat!

I am very NEW to myfitnesspal! I am using this site as recommended by my Doctor while I am on the PhenPro weightloss program.


I first started getting obiese after the birth of my second child. I was really sick and she was a very big baby. Later on depression tooks its toll on me and one more child later, I am 293 pounds. I hate myself for it. I feel fat and ugly and very ashamed.

I want to lose weight to feel healthy and sexy and young. I also would like to make some friends here as well. You can never have too much emotional support, especially from someone who is going through the same hell you are.

I am exersizing everyday. I start off my day with Phentermine and Prozac, then I walk my five year old to kindergarten. When I get back I have about three hours to drink coffee and play wih my girls outside.

The rest of my day varies depending on which day it is. So I guess a novel later, Hello its nice to meet you and hopefully we can all become friends and shed our demons. Good Luck to you all!:flowerforyou:

    Hello! I would love to have some virtual friends as motivators! Hope you guys dont' mind if I add you as friends. I had a baby November, 2010. I did soooo awesome, and actually was 10 lbs below my pre-pregancy weight by April. However, I after I ran a 10K (my goal) I kind of fell of the wagon, and haven't been able to get back on. And, I gained 10 lbs back. So here I go again!
