My Three Main Goals in Life Right Now: 1. Personal: Work on being a better wife and therapist 2. Financial: Pay off revolving debt and save up for a down payment on a house 3. Fitness: Lose at least 20 lbs but more than that, focus on getting TONED and LEAN! My name is Rachel.

My Three Main Goals in Life Right Now: 1. Personal: Work on being a better wife and therapist 2. Financial: Pay off revolving debt and save up for a down payment on a house 3. Fitness: Lose at least 20 lbs but more than that, focus on getting TONED and LEAN! My name is Rachel. I am 22 years old and have been married for three and a half years to an amazing, funny, handsome, and kind-hearted man. Initially after getting engaged I managed to gain around 15-20 lbs. After being married and being in college, I gained another 5-10. Soon I didn't even recognize myself and felt like I had no control over my own health or weight. In September 2011, I started taking control and using Spark people. From September 2011 to May 2012, I managed to go from 153 pounds to 128 pounds using this site and other resources! Unfortunately, I allowed myself to get depressed and resentful about some of my circumstances this summer and all the negativity in my life kept me out of the gym and in a cycle of reckless eating. When I finally weighed back in I had crept up to 146! Today on December 1, 2012 I weigh 143.... and I am ready to reclaim my 128! I did it before, I can do it again!
