Wow, joined 10 minutes ago and have already met others in the same boat. Thanks for the replys and encouragement folks, it really is appreciated. Now I need to get to grips with how this site works and how best to use it. Please excuse me if I seem aloof or impolite. Might take a while to get used to all this. I'm not on any set diet yet. Just fed up listening to people telling me I've put on weight (even if they are right). I want to take a look around first before I decide on a strategy.
