Almost 40 and in need of less numbers on the scale

I've been mooching around here for a month or so, I'm getting there, I started at 108kg (238pound) I just snuck under the 100kg mark a few days ago. I just want some people in my friends so I can check out what other people are doing, what they're eating. I've spent a large portion of my life chunky, then I quit smoking and I kind of exploded. I'm amazingly lazy as a rule, so exercise has had to be a priority, get off that *kitten*. I love food so I'm actually enjoying the challenge of cooking better, the impact of this is feeding through to my family, literally, lol. So far, this experience is making me feel better, look better and hate the mirror less. I'd like to add some people just to be nosey really and to share this journey of de fattifying.
