How This Woman Lost 121 Lbs. After Her Daughter’s Classmate Called Her ‘Fat’
“Everyone knew me to be that girl that was big, but always took care of herself.”
Watch the full episode of People Features: How We Lost 100 Pounds! streaming now on PeopleTV.com, or download the PeopleTV app on your favorite device.
Rachel Saintfort was always confident, so her weight — which hit 200 lbs. by the time she was in high school — didn’t really bother her.
“I was never that person who let my weight get to me,” the Lakeland, Florida native tells PEOPLE for the 2018 “How We Lost 100 Lbs.” issue. “Everyone knew me to be that girl that was big, but always took care of herself.”
But Saintfort, who says food was her “bestie,” continued to gain weight year after year. She added the “freshman 75” in college, and then more weight after she gave birth to her daughter in 2007. She also developed lymphedema in her legs, a build-up of fluid from too much salt and not enough movement.
“I panicked — I was like, ‘This is not normal,’ ” she says.
Saintfort tried losing weight and eating more healthfully, but at some point she would always give up.
“I would yo-yo,” she says. “I would always get the first 30 lbs. off, and for some reason at 30 lbs. I would mess up, and I would say, ‘Oh my god I just freaking ate a burger, it’s over. I’m just done.’ ”
But in January 2017, her daughter, now 10 years old, got in the car and said that a classmate had called Saintfort “fat.”
“She looked so sad, and she’s trying to act like it wasn’t a big deal. At that moment it hit me that she’s suffering, and she’s being picked on or laughed at because of my laziness or my unhealthy choices,” Saintfort says. “That definitely inspired me to get it together, because I didn’t want her to feel that way.”
For more on Saintfort and four more women who lost 100 lbs., pick up a copy of PEOPLE, on newsstands Friday.
The case manager decided to cut out fast food and soda — this time for good — and started doing daily 3-mile walks around the lake in her town.
“I realized that I’ve got to never quit, no matter how many times I mess up,” Saintfort says. “If I have a soda — oh well, keep it going, you’re human, you’re gonna mess up.”
She also started documenting her weight loss journey on her Instagram account, @Ms100Lbs, and set a goal to drop 100 lbs. When Saintfort hit that number less than 12 months later, she was emotional.
“I cried,” she says. “It was an amazing feeling. I still don’t feel like it’s real, but getting on a plane and putting your seatbelt on without feeling like it won’t fit, or going up a flight of steps is beautiful to me. I mean, I used to need my daughter to put on my shoes.”
Plus, Saintfort says, losing weight has strengthened her relationship with her daughter.
“To have your own child be proud of you is a feeling you can’t explain,” she says. “It’s so amazing, and I was able to show her that if you set a goal you can achieve it — you just have to keep fighting.”
Raspberry Lemonade
In a bowl, whisk 2 cups water with the lemon juice, sugar, and raspberry purée until the sugar is dissolved. Fill 4 glasses half-full with ice, and pour the lemonade over the ice to chill it. Or, chill mixture in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve.
If This Marathon With 23 Wine Tastings Doesn’t Make You Want to Run, Nothing Will
If your idea of a triathlon consists of an appetizer, entrée, and wine pairing, there’s a marathon in France that should excite your athletic instincts.
The annual Marathon du Médoc is a 26.2-mile race in Bordeaux, France, every September. What makes this particular race interesting is that there are 23 different wines that participants are supposed to try as they make their way through the course. There is at least one break for steak.
The route winds through vineyards, past chateaux, and allows “runners” time to sample cheese, ice cream, and oysters as they race through all 26 miles. Despite the extreme conditions, no contestant has ever died at the Marathon du Médoc. (It perhaps helps that every participant must submit a medical certification in order to compete.) But, according to one journalist for The Guardian who participated in the race, there is an awful lot of projectile vomit on the course.
The race takes about six-and-a-half hours and participants are encouraged to take their time. Oh, and all the athletes of the Marathon du Médoc are required to show up in costume, by the way.
Registration for the Marathon du Médoc costs $102 (€87) and is limited to 8,500 participants. The only qualification is that you must have been born before September 9, 1997. This year’s race, taking place on September 8, is closed but you can try to get on the waiting list — or just go to Bordeaux to watch the spectacle from the sidelines.
And hey, it’s never too early to start training for next year with a bottle of wine. See you at the finish lane.

Sport24.co.za | Lions come out on top in Loftus try-fest
Cape Town – The Golden Lions claimed a hard-fought, come-from-behind 38-35 victory over the Blue Bulls in a topsy-turvy encounter at Loftus Versfeld on Saturday.
Tries from Shaun Reynolds, James Venter, Dillon Smit and a Hacjivah Dayimani brace proved too much for the Blue Bulls who scored through Johnny Kotze, Andre Warner and a Ruan Steenkamp hat-trick.
The away side bossed the opening exchanges and were rewarded with the game’s first try. Having taken a quick-tap penalty close to the Blue Bulls’ try-line, the ball was swung to centre-field, where fly-half Reynolds showed dazzling footwork to cut through the centre of the hosts’ defence.
Warner would hit back for the home side, however, as a Blue Bulls’ counter-ruck forced the turnover. The scrum-half pounced on the loose ball and dummied his way past a couple of defenders to go untouched in under the posts.
Soon after, the Blue Bulls took the lead for the first time in the match when flank Steenkamp scored a superb individual effort, breaking his way past a number of tacklers.
The visitors’ second came after come superb interplay between backs and forwards. Howard Mnisi was the creator as his long pass put James Venter in for the score-equalling try as Reynolds added the extras to make it 14-14.
Kotze would go over due to some questionable Golden Lions’ defending moments later to regain the lead but the away side would restore parity once again through scrum-half Smit with a fine individual effort.
The home side would have the last laugh of the first-half as enforcer Ruan Steenkamp spun his would-be-tackler to twist his over way from close range and grab his brace as Libbok added the extra two points for a 28-21 lead as the sides went in to the interval.
Ten minutes after the break, the visitors found themselves even further behind as Steenkamp went over for his hat-trick. However, the Blue Bulls enforcer would turn from hero to zero moments later, when he was sin-binned for a neck roll.
This would give the Lions a route back in to the game as they capitalised on their numerical advantage through a magical Dayimani brace – the flanker showing his winger-like speed on both occasions to snatch the back lead dramatically at 38-35.
It looked as if the Blue Bulls might steal it in the closing stages, but for a brilliant turnover steal by Golden Lions’ hero Dayimani at the breakdown to seal victory.

News24.com | Woman stabbed inside PE shopping mall
There was chaos at Greenacres Shopping Centre in Port Elizabeth when a man reportedly stabbed a woman inside the mall on Saturday afternoon.
Some shops closed their doors while shoppers ran for cover when the incident took place, Eastern Cape police said.
People who were entering the centre shortly after the incident had thought that there was a robbery and shooting in progress inside.
Police spokesperson Warrant Officer Alwin Labans told News24 that there was no shooting and robbery at the centre.
Labans confirmed that a man allegedly stabbed a woman inside the mall.
“There was only an assault that took place. The man allegedly stabbed the woman with a knife. He has been arrested for assault by police,” he said.
He said the woman, whose age had yet to be clarified, has also been taken to hospital.
The Herald reported on Saturday that the incident took place near the Clicks store. There was a large police contingent at the mall as at 16:00.
The motive for the attack is still unclear.
Health24.com | Make mountain biking easier with four tips from Todd Wells, Olympic mountain biker
Climb the toughest of bike trails without bonking – and descend with total control. We chatted to Todd Wells, an Olympic mountain biker and member of the SRAM/TLD Factory Racing team, to get the down low on getting down and dirty.
1. Fine-tune your ride
Set your tyre pressure to 20 000 pascals, which gives your tyres enough flexibility to grip the trail during ascents without bottoming out onto the rim during descents. Lube the chain and make sure both wheels’ quick releases are tightly closed. (Don’t laugh – it happens.)

2. Set a solid pace
Beginners default to the lowest gear on ascents. But for a stronger climb, you want to pedal at the same rate the whole time, saving a few low gears just in case. Shift to maintain your cadence. Resist the urge to stand – this takes weight off the back tyre. You need that weight to maintain traction.

3. Power over obstacles
As you approach rocks or logs, centre your weight over the back tyre to prevent slipping. Lean slightly over the handlebar so your front end doesn’t lift. Raise the bar just enough to initiate a climb over the obstacle. Avoid bunny hops, which kill momentum.

4. Control your descent
In sections with rocks or roots, don’t pedal. Keep your eyes locked in front of your tyre. Your speed is right if you feel in control and can scan the terrain for obstacles in your peripheral vision. Keep your feet level so your weight stays transferable. Check your speed by feathering the front brake with small pumps. If you need to slow down during a turn, use the back brake so your front wheel is solely devoted to steering.
