Hi Everyone! I've been plodding along with Cambridge diet for around 12 weeks now and I have realised that I'm going to need an outlet and some buddies if I'm ever going to reach my goal of a healthy BMI. I've pretty much been overweight all my teenage/adult life and now my partner and I are ready to start a family, I do not want to pass my former eating habits onto the next generation.

I'm currently living in the Netherlands with my partner who is a Dutchie, and with Christmas looming I am sensing a minefield of bread,cake and carb heavy sauces at family gatherings! I'll probably get around to starting a diary some time this week on the CD part of the forums to ramble about expat life, the universe and everything .
