I don't have any friends (on fitness pal) - meeer :(

Hi everyone,

Out of a list of 900 on Facebook, most of whom, with the greatest of respect, post a load of drivel I only have 15 friends signed to this site. I'd love to meet some new Fitness pals to keep me on track with my goals. In short, I'm a dad of two (29) married who is looking to (and this might sound dramatic) save my own life. I am overweight and need to lose around 3-4 stone. Last year I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, high cholesterol and an under-active thyroid. Despite this, I haven't taken time off work and continue to plough on. I have to make a change or I fear my health is going to steadily decline, and I have far too much to live for, in particular two gorgeous little red heads who adore me. If you are a half decent human being who simply wants to get on, receive and give support, then please add me. For my part I promise to update my stats religiously (good or bad) and offer what I can as I move through my experience.

Peace, love and all that shizell,

Kieran

    I must confess, earlier, I thought my little post was doomed to fall into the abyss - but alas, some lovely folk have come forward (mostly from the U.S) - I knew you folk were a friendly bunch :) Thanks for taking the time to look at my message.
