I've seen the light...losing four stones by e-dieting
Rachel Neeley had grown sick and tired of being a larger, less active version of her old self.
The dissatisfied 32-year-old knew her body wasn't meant to be inactive. She knew she wasn't meant to be miserable. And she knew she wasn't meant to be overweight.
Yet more than a year ago, she was all of the above. Somewhere beneath her overcoat of extra pounds, there was a healthy and happy woman, screaming to be let out.
Rachel stood at 5'5" and weighed 15 stones. For far too long, she had been hiding from herself. There wasn't a mirror in her house and she camouflaged her weight under dreary colours and baggy clothes.
The working mother-of-two knew this couldn't go on forever.
A sedentary job, pregnancy weight that stayed on after the baby, plenty of huge meals followed by rich desserts... these are just a few of the ways the pounds piled on.
Now, one year after starting her e-diet, Rachel is proud of her sensational weight loss of almost four stones. At 10st 10lbs, Rachel says she's not done yet - there is still another stone between her and her goal weight.
'I like myself now,' she tells us. 'I feel like a better person - I have more patience now with my kids, I like how I look and I feel good about myself.'
