Hello, my name is FunkyFi and I live in SE London. I used this app on my iPhone last year after a bought in hospital prompted me to lose weight. January 2011 until April 2011 from being in and out of hospital I went from 125kg(I am 180cm) to approx 115kg. Then using will power and the app I lost a further 10kg. I was swimming 3-6 times a month, doing 50 push ups against the wall(standing, lazy/weak persons first level press-ups) every morning, stretching for 10 mins everyday and had reduced my chocolate addiction. I never used the website and only had a friend as met someone at a wedding using the same app. I was super proud of myself and my will power.

Since a death in the family at the start of the year, chronic pain, increase in migraines, RSI in both arms, diagnosed with fibromyalgia (already have osteo-arthritis, myotonia, high cholesterol, depression, anxiety, mild agoraphobia and hypothyroidism) and worse depression I have put on the 10kg I lost abs gibed further 3.1kg as of today.

This is my first time on this forum. I am sympathetic, kind, very supportive of others and a good listener, am looking to talk to everyone but especially people with chronic pain, chronic illness, depression and anxiety or who are tall people or live in London and the SE. I am good at encouraging others but terrible at looking after myself!
