hello and welcome Phatwoohie
I totally agree with the previous posters -- you really need to get your SO on board so she can help you through this journey. When I first started, my hubby was on board too, which really helped. He has since "fallen" off the wagon so I have to cook things for him (and his son when he's with us)...that's the hardest part!

So glad you've found us and this WOL. It is truly very rewarding to see the pounds just "melt" away! Once you start losing quickly you won't ever want to munch on those foods again!

Good luck to you
