going to do it this year

Hi everyonee, I am new here just found the app on my new tablet I got for xmas. I am 50 & went from heavy side of healthy/ normal to morbidly obese when I had health problems 5 years ago. Didn't adjust my eating & before I knew it I had gained all this weight & have been lugging it about for last few years like a ton of excess baggage. I'm 50 & live in rural England. I am starting off by keeping a food diary, & noting what rubbish I eat post Christmas, & will start seriously at this in the next few days. Happy to be buddies with anyone else, especilly anyone who has to lose what their best friend weighs!
