I need a couple of friends...

I'd really like some friends to help me lose weight - not lots of friends, just one or two, but I'd prefer to have some shared interests apart from weight loss.

I'm 51, English, divorced and living with my partner and have 4 pet rabbits.

I lost some weight before with MFP, but I broke my arm, decided I needed treats and now I've put it back on. I weigh 234lbs and have only lost 2lb so far.

I make my living selling second-hand toys on Ebay.

I love chocolate and hate exercise.

My kids are adults - one has a new baby - my first grandchild.

I trained as a primary teacher but was useless at it! Still interested in education. I only wish I could take another degree (Creative Writing/English) for the fun of it.

I'm very poor - money is a constant worry.

I enjoy reading, including science fiction, detective stories, classic novels and how-to-improve-your-life books.

My three favourite films are: Life of Brian, Reach for the Sky and The Truman Show

I don't watch much TV and hate soaps and the News. I do love The Big Bang Theory, though!

I am an atheist.

I have a great sense of humour but am socially awkward.


Enough about me. Please tell me about yourself.
