Welcome Roch! Just one pointer-the Triple Digits Forum may be of interest to you as they are well aware of the special issues you face at your current size. Then, join in our general discussion groups, start a journal and let the morale boosting begin! My sons are so much happier with my lower weight-because we HAVE been doing more together. There is a real energy boost that lifts the ole butt off the couch.
It seems there is a lack of LC products in the UK...don't let that stop you! I don't use many of the products anyway. Go for fresh veggies, meats, eggs, cheese and fats and your grocery bill shouldn't suffer much either. If you really want it-we'll support you.
