Megan Rachow remembers the exact day she decided it was time for a change.
“I had been living a life of obesity for a few years and was exhausted both physically and mentally,” the 30-year-old physical therapist tells PEOPLE. “I felt like I had gained so much weight that I would never get it back off. I still remember the day that the switch flipped for me — July 19, 2014 — and I decided I was done living like this.”
The Medina, Ohio, resident says until that point she was drinking five or more cans of soda a day, eating large quantities of food and stopping at the drive-thru daily.
“Exercise was out of the question as I could barely walk up the stairs to my apartment,” she says.

Spurred into action, Rachow says she started small, first cutting out soda and only eating food she cooked at home.
“The weight starting coming off,” she says. “I remember I lost 9 lbs. my first week. After I had lost 100 lbs., I started trying more adventurous exercise. I became fascinated by fitness and seeing what new things I could accomplish with my body. I do things that I never dreamed were possible like running races, lifting heavy weights, and completing a sprint triathlon.”
Rachow, who shared her weight loss journey on both Instagram and Facebook, says she now eats clean foods like salad, quinoa and lots of veggies. She also packs her diet with a lot of high-protein foods like chicken and turkey.
After losing a total of 170 lbs., Rachow says she hit her goal weight of 155 lbs. but was left with excess skin. In December 2016, she underwent a circumferential body lift and brachioplasty to remove the excess skin from her abdomen and arms. She is now in the process of having excess skin removed from her thighs.
“I am now living a life that I love and feel as though I am a completely different person,” she says. “The most important thing I have gained is being comfortable in my own skin.”
Step 1
Preheat oven to 425°. Place 6 lemon slices and sage leaves under skin of chicken. Put remaining lemon into cavity. Tie legs together with twine, and tuck wings under. Brush 1 teaspoon oil over chicken. Place chicken in roasting pan; roast in lower third of oven for 1 hour 15 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer registers 165°. Transfer chicken to a cutting board; let rest for 15 minutes.
Step 2
Meanwhile, cut root vegetables into matchsticks. Toss with potatoes in a baking pan with remaining oil and thyme. Roast, stirring occasionally, for 45 minutes or until tender.
Step 3
Remove skin from chicken. Discard lemons from cavity. Slice enough chicken to serve 4 (such as breasts), and serve with half of vegetables.

Cape Town – Cape Town’s worst drought in decades may take some of the sting out of the Newlands pitch for the first Test between South Africa and India, starting on Friday.
There was a covering of green grass on the match surface when both teams practised on Tuesday, bringing a smile to the face of South African coach Ottis Gibson.
But groundsman Evan Flint said the grass was thin and that the weather conditions had made it difficult to produce the seam-friendly surface which the home side would like.
There was some unseasonal light rain on Sunday and Monday – about four-and-half millimetres in total – but not enough to break the prolonged drought.
“It made conditions a bit quicker,” said Flint
Flint has had to use borehole water and has been restricted to watering the outfield only twice a week, which means the playing area is drier under the surface than usual.
“I think if the fast bowlers bowl well enough, there will be something in it for them,” said Flint. But he did not expect conditions would give a lot of assistance to South Africa’s pace attack.
“It depends on who adapts quicker on the day – it is not necessarily favouring anyone,” said Flint.
Pretoria – The bodies of three minor boys who were reported kidnapped on Monday night have been found burnt beyond recognition inside a car in a bush in Temba, north of Pretoria on Tuesday, police said.
The boyfriend of the mother of two of the three children was also found hanging inside his house in Mathibestad, North West, Gauteng police spokesperson Lieutenant Kay Makhubela said.
It is unclear if he is the father of two of the children.
The children were initially reported missing on Monday night, after the 40-year-old boyfriend took them on New Year’s Eve while the 30-year-old mother was not around, Makhubela said.
The man allegedly threatened to kill her two children, as well as her nephew – a three-year-old boy who was with her two sons.
The three children, aged four, three and 12, were found after a passerby noticed the burned car and bodies and alerted police.
The motive was unknown, but a case of murder has been opened by Temba police, Makhubela said.
Pietermaritzburg – A farmer who allegedly shot and killed a mourner at a funeral on his farm in Cramond, Pietermaritzburg, appeared briefly in court on Tuesday on a murder charge, police said.
The matter was postponed to next week, when his formal bail application is expected to be heard, Captain Nqobile Gwala said.
Edward Philip Solomon, 66, appeared in the New Hanover Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday for the murder of mourner Mothiwa Ngubane, 42, at Otto’s Bluff on Saturday.
Solomon allegedly asked the people attending the funeral to leave, she said.
“When one of the family members tried to intervene, the farmer drew his gun and [allegedly] shot the man.”
The deceased sustained gunshot wounds to the upper body. He died at the scene.
Solomon fled the scene in his vehicle, but was later arrested.
He was allegedly found in possession of two rifles, one 9mm pistol and a toy gun.
JOHANNESBURG – Hundreds of holiday makers returning to Johannesburg from the Eastern Cape were left stranded for hours as Walter Sisulu Local Municipality residents blocked N6 in Aliwal North on Tuesday.
The N6 highway between Komani and Bloemfontein was brought to a standstill on Monday as residents protested over Eskom’s planned power cuts.
A councillor at the municipality, Msokoli Dyani said Eskom switches off power between 6-7:30 am and again between 6-8 pm daily.
“Now residents are angry as this affect their livelihoods. It also affects business we have mortuaries here,” he said.
Dyani revealed that the municipality owed Eskom R141-million which is a historic debt after nearby towns were merged to form the Walter Sisulu Local Municipality.
“Residents want the province to intervene that is why they are out on the streets,” he said.
This is not the first time the Walter Sisulu Local Municipality residents blocked the busy highway.
A few days before Christmas day, the road was blocked resulting in a number of holiday makers travelling to the Eastern Cape frustrated.
