Sounds like taking on this study at school was the best thing you could have done. I am so proud of your accomplishments and you have come so far. You must be so proud of yourself. Did you happen to take a before photo so maybe someday you can share a before and after? Keep up the hard work!

28 pounds look at you girl!  Tell me how good are you feeling healthwise.  Have you notice a difference in endurance or better sleep?

Thanks for the tip, Rachel. Way to go on your 20lb weight loss!

I just have to check in on you from time to time.  Looks like you are doing well.  You are almost at that mini goal.  Way to go Rachel.  

look at you girl!  Can I say that I'm proud or do only parents get that privilege?  Hmm, well anyway I'm proud of you girl keep it up.  I know you are dealing with some life triggers dont get discouraged if you happen to slip (and you may not even slip)  just keep your head up and move on from there. 

10 pounds ooh ooh! 

Hey I noticed you lost 3 pounds.  Good for you.  Thats like the first dollar a new store owner puts on the wall.  Keep up the good work.  

Thats great! You want to increase your walking by one day or add some additional time to the days you do walk on.  And now you want to start focusing on monitoring your food.  Baby steps.  Have you tried the food journal on here or sparkspeople, I used www.everydayhealth.com?  Log in what you eat normally and then you'll know where you need modification.  

Good morning Rachel!  How is the walking coming along?  I got my dancing shoes on if you are going to tell me that you are still giving it a try.  And if not I got my shoulder for you to lean on if you need more support.
