Looking for friends with a lot of weight to lose (UK or worldwide)

Hi all
Quick introduction. I'm 35 years old, female and I have a LOT of weight to lose. Like 150lbs+. Half my body weight which is very daunting. I'm 8 lbs down and determined to do it this time. I have an 11 month old son and I want to be able to keep up with him (and not have a heart attack when I'm 40 would be cool too). Who wants to stick with me for the next year or two whilst we figure out this journey?

I'm calorie counting to 1500 calories and I would love to connect with other people in a similar situation with similar goals. I'm in the UK and it would be cool to meet other people with open diaries to friends so I can be nosy and get ideas for my meals too as I'm finding a lot of brands and products are different in the UK & USA. But it's not strictly necessary to be in the UK!
