Greetings ladies and gents,

First of all I want to say thank you to the makers of this wonderful website for creating such a good tool that can help so many people. God bless you myfitnesspal crew, I really mean that. I can tell that you are helping a lot of stars to shine!

Now, I suppose that it is time for me to tell my own story.

I was born in Chelsea, London to a loving mother. She was a widow, my father died in convert operations in Buenos AIres during the Falklands war. Luckily, my mother was the daughter of an Indian railway baron and so was a woman of independent wealth who paid for me to avoid the comprehensive school system and go to the prestigious Eton College where I became a star rugby player. As I do not want to get too personal so as to allow users here to identify me I will skip ahead a few years, when I was in my late 20s and in my physical prime I was a leading star in more than a few Hollywood movies.

Since my movie acting prime I have gone from 5'10 160lbs to 5'10 169lbs and I am being told repeatedly by casting agents that I have to lose weight if I ever want to get back with the Hollywood set.

I really do feel very alone in this, it is not something I can talk about with my showbiz friends. I would love to hear from anyone else suffering from weight problems, I am also single and particularly interested in women in their 30s who also suffer from weight problems. Maybe we can face this devil down together.

Thank you and God bless!

    9 pounds doesn't sound like a weight issue... Maybe a shape issue.... Maybe you just need to eat better and tone up! Add me if you want an honest opinion...lol

    Eh..... yeah, damn that comprehensive school system, it throws out nothing but smackheads and wasters, just like erm.....me! :huh: :huh:

    I think this is the time for me to break with tradition and use a phrase I despise:

    Jog on, mate!
