About 2 years ago I was as healthy as I've ever been, weighed just under 12 stone and had a six pack....jump forward 2 years and, after having to start taking medication for a genetic disorder, I am now 13 stone 8 lbs and havnt been to the gym regularly for ages due to chronic fatigue brought on by the pills.

Well I've finally had enough, thinking if I don't do something to change this downward spiral it's just going to get worse and worse.

So a week ago I dug out the myfitnesspal app, signed in, weighed myself and started logging all my food and exercise.

My app is looking pretty lonely with no friends so looking for people to add and share support etc

Any and all welcome ;)

    Hi

    This is just a message of support from someone with a similar story. Tho I lost weight and gained fitness with MFP help before I got sick.....(and got extra pounds, chronic fatigue etc etc...) so atleast I can say MFP can really help.

    I don't 'do' MFP friends anymore .... But I do hope you find some cheer buddies. And good luck. Just take it gently... No couch to 25k for people like us, but you can certainly regain your fitness and lose those excess pounds with pacing and persistence.
