in Introduce Yourself
I got the app a long time ago, but never really used it. So thought that had to change.
A bit of history about myself. I was in a bad motorbike accident in2010, which left me bed bound and in a wheelchair for a year. During this time I got up to 22 stone (308lbs). By the time I could get up and mobile again, I knew something had to be done. I have been left with a severely damaged left leg, which is due to have 3 lots if surgery to hope help this, and I use a walking stick most of the time. But I wasnt going to let this stop me losing the weight. Since April 2012, I have lost 4 stone, and got down to 18 stone (252lbs) and felt my health, and my injuries improve a lot.
Im a long way from my goal, but im hoping this place should help. Theres some great success stories here, and I hope to be among you soon.

Cheers.

Doyle

    I have not been on MFP long but it seems there are lots of good people on here who will keep you motivated. Hope those injuries get less difficult to cope with as you bring down your weight.

    Good luck! :)

    Doyle,
    Thank you for sharing your story. The less weight, the less stress on the body... duh.
    Don't you just love it when people restate the obvious.
    All the best
