Hi everyone, I'm Rach, 27 and from Redditch in the UK (near Birmingham, geography fans!). I am currently making scales across the land weep at 24 stone / 336lb... A lot to lose then - my end goal is 12 stone / 168lb (roughly my weight 10 years ago before I really started piling it on - I'm under no illusions of ever being 'skinny', so that's a happy weight for me).
I'm not fad-dieting, or joining Weight Watchers etc, I want this to be a lifestyle change for good that I approach on my terms - I know they work well for other people, but it's just not my thing.
Anyhow, I'd love some friends and support on this little journey of mine. Weight isn't something I really talk about with anyone outside of my mum and boyfriend, so I'd be grateful for some cheers and to do the same in return
