About Me
Hi! I’m Rachelle and from the mountain west. I’ve been overweight or obese almost my entire life. My weight became worse after my children. I tried all the new fad diets and was prescribed weight loss medication from my primary care provider (PCP). But like most fads, the weight came back on and then some.
