Wow.

I'd have to say you were a beautiful girl in your before pics, but what an amazing change in your after. What a hottie.

Congratz!.

Rachelle,

I think it is fantastic that you shared your story with everyone.

It takes a special kind of person to open themselves up like that to help others and show them that you CAN overcome huge obstacles and not resort back to "using" for weight loss.

Congratulations on your success ... and continued success since I know you are still looking to push it farther ... Even though you are "hawwwwt" now. You're amazing.

Rachelle,

I'm so very proud of you. You are a true inspiration.

BIG HUG for ya babe.

Muaahhh!

Hey baby doll,

Your story is a great success story, looks like in a way we have both traveled the same path. Not necessally the same steps, but at least the same road. Maybe thats why I always like being a part of your journal. Your stength is your beauty inside. I know times get tough and i wish I could always be there to give you the hug that we all sometimes need. You are a very special young lady and Im glad you are doing great. Just remember you always have a friend in California that cares for you a lot. Once again great job and keep it up.

hiya beautiful!!!

that's a truly inspiring story!!! it shows courage, will-power and sheer determination, characteristics of a champion! and you definitely are a champ in my book!!!

hugs and kisses, Manolo

Rachelle,

What can I say that hasn't already been said? I'm really happy for you and your success. You made a really good decision when you decided to go LC, and you continued stay committed even though the loss was slow at times. You're a fantastic example.

Much continued success!

Such an AMAZING Story Rach...I'm getting all emotional Thanks for sharing. I know that must have been difficult.

I hope you now how proud I am of you babydoll! You've come so far and have made so many steps forward in only a year...in more ways than weight alone. The forum just wouldn't be the same vivrant place without you around. I hope you know that you have given back as much as you have gleaned!
