Hey all!

I've been kicking about this website for a while now. Love being able to keep track of my calorie intake, exercise and progress. Love how supportive people are on here as well.

7 weeks ago however I had a horse riding accident where I decided it'd be a 'cracking' idea to ride my horse back from the field without a hat (no lectures please, had enough of those from my mum. its not law it was a stupid spur of the moment idea), anyway long story short and completely out of character my horse decided to take off and I ended up diving at the concrete head first cracking my head open, falling unconscious, losing my hearing and waking up with internal bleeding.

I had to go on a break and come away from this website because seeing all my friends progress was making me depressed because the hospital had told me I couldn't exercise at all whilst my skull was healing (6 weeks).

Had my last checkup and scan today at the hospital and everything is healing perfectly and I have been told I am allowed to start working out again now (no riding, drinking, driving, working or strenuous exercise until January because of the internal bleeding) however I have come back to find a majority of my friends haven't logged on in over 4 weeks which is sad.

The point of this message? I'm looking for some fellow MFP users that can offer support in which I shall return it.

I'm an active 18 year old female from England who throughout enjoys working out and living a healthy lifestyle!

Drop me a message/add if you're interested in my friendship!

    Ewww...sorry to hear about your accident. I understand having trouble sitting it out. I had a very small fender bender in August, but got whip lash in my neck and lower back...I was sitting it out for 6 weeks too, then was told I could only slowly ramp back up to running, etc.

    I am very active and I am on MFP every day. Feel free to add me for added support.

    BTW - my husband and I rode horses for the first time on our anniversary in October...it was great. Just a sedate trail ride on herding horses but we loved it and can't wait to do it again.

    Welcome back! So happy you're on your way to complete recovery. Important thing is you're going to be fine. I fell once when I had too much to drink back in my dangerous thirties. Broke my nose and arm. Off work for four months. I'm alot more cautious now. Take care of yourself. I just joined the fitness pal group. I get kind of bored with the food tracking. The calories mount up so fast! Always had a problem with weight. It was hard for me to make my weight wrestling in high school. I'm putting together a website for my clown business. I know if I take off fifty pounds I'll move alot better. Being overweight is no laughing matter. Take good care. Pepi the clown aka David
