    My English is passable. Though I insist on referring to lifts as elevators and boots as trunks since I live on this side of the pond. I am willing to compromise on calling fries, chips. If these conditions are acceptable to you then feel free to add me!

    I'm 57, and live in Folkestone. I've been on a low carb lifestyle for around 6 months now, feels like slow progress but I'm getting there, occasionally find it difficult, but am persevering anyway, just take each day as a new day and forget any past screwups, no point worrying about the past - look to the future.

    I row and cycle, plus do weights, would love to run but have a worn out left knee hence the sitting down sports! Feel free to add me.

    Before deciding whether or not to add me, you should be aware that I apparently come with online stalkers!
