Welcome to 3FC!
I'm following WW at this moment, too.

There's a WW section under Diet Central you might be interested in. There's also a UK Chicks area, as well as support groups based on amount to lose and age. Be sure to look around and post anywhere/everywhere you're comfortable!
You can lose the weight on your own

However a support group will be able to give you the boost you need when you need it.
Hope to see you around the boards!
