In the process of getting rid of it!

Hello ermaphebus and Welcome! 
You've definitely come to the right place, the community here is very friendly and supportive and has definitely helped me persevere in my efforts to carry on past week 12 of the NHS 12 Week plan. You're definitely in good company in hoping to shed a bit extra and it sounds like you're well on the way to doing it. 
There's all sorts of good tips and challenges in the pinned posts section to the right of the screen. Have a look and join any/all of the challenges that strike your fancy. Many find them a fun way to set goals and keep up motivation when things get tough (as life can tend to do).
How long have you been living in England? I hail from Utah (SLC) originally and have been living on the south coast of England for almost 9 years now.
Good luck and see you around!
