Good luck.

I did 5 stone (70lbs) and a third of my body weight.  You'll do it too, 
fret not.  Takes a while, but it'll go.

I found that cutting fats and sugar-laden things, almost all processed 
foods and not-baked-at-home stuff, and increasing the vegetable and 
fruit intake did wonders.

Exercise also helps: start slowly.  I started with a gentle 10 lengths 
of the pool, and now regularly do a (UK) mile in an hour session twice a 
week.
