JUST OVERWEIGHT AT 5 MONTHS!!

Yesterday was my 5 month anniversary and when I got on the scale this morning... it said 157!! Well of course I ran to the computer to recalculate my BMI and guess what...My BMI is now 29.7! That means I am just overweight now!! I have 32 more pounds to get to goal and it actually seems like I might make it! I am just really proud at how hard I have worked and wanted to share my news with y'all!! My new picture is on my profile and even though they said it would show up with my posts... it didn't... I wonder why? ~Rachel 230/157/125

Rachel, I just looked at your pic on your profile ..WOW.. you look like a new woman Congratulations on the awesome weight loss

Thanks so much Jackie... to be honest, I really do feel like a new person! ~Rachel

Congratulations Rachel!!! You did good! Keep up the good work! Tracy

Thanks for your support Tracy, it really means a lot to have people behind you. ~Rachel

Hi there Rachel. How are you???? CONGRADS TO YOU GIRL TO YOU AND YOUR HARD WORK. I had surgery on 12/15/03 starting up with 245 lbs. I am now down 80 pds I dont know what my goal should be but I say 140 lbs. I am now 165 pds 5ft5 and half so I think I should be near goal and cant wait...... to us even though I cant drink beer anymore. MY BMI is now 26.6. We have worked so hard we need and for this hard struggle we went through Rachel. Looks like our goal will soon be here so lets keep in touch ok.......LORRAINE

Lorraine, You are melting away too! Isn't this great! You really are close to goal...CONGRATS TO YOU! ~Rachel

WOW Rachel, you are looking absolutely awesome!! Blessings to you as you work toward your goal. BTW-we have the same surgery date and I've lost 71, it looks like we are right on target, although I have about another 50-70 to go to reach goal. Take care and keep up the good work! Jill 311/239/170

Thanks Jill!! I have been so worried about maybe not getting to goal and then when my mother-in-law saw me for the first time since surgery this past weekend... the look on her face told me to just be happy where I am! I would love to get down another 30 pounds but hey I have been this size since the 8th grade so I am loving every single minute of it! ~Rachel

Rachel, you are doing awesome!!! We have the same surgery date and you're blowing me away!! Saw your pic on your profile and you look fantastic. BTW, how did hubby like the "new you" when he got back?? Lisa G
