photoHI, I am 56, a retired academic. I live in NE London and want to expand my social life. possibly find a LTR. I am told that my best qualities are my warmth and sense of humour. I suffer from ME/chronic fatigue syndrome and this limits my social activity. I have many interests and am generally regarded as good company. I am especially keen to meet people who live nearby for social meets.

I have really piled on the pounds in recent years. The trouble started when I developed M.E. in 2000 and spent 6 months lying on the couch and piling on the pounds. Then three years ago I was diagnosed with diabetes. In those 8 years I have gained 3 stone and now weigh in at 15.5 stone. My BMI is 30 which puts me just over the obesity line.

The M.E. prevents me from taking anything more than light exercise while diabetes means that unburned carbs are stored as fat. I have already given up alcohol, cakes and sweets, chocolate and cheese so it all seems rather unfair however I just got some photos of my birthday celebration taken at the weekend and am horrified to see this great whale sitting there. My body chemistry is so weird that extreme forms of dieting such as Atkins make me feel really ill while approaches such as carbohydrate counting are unbelievably complicated. I always used to be good at maintaining my weight and I have decided to go back to the tried and tested method of calorie control. 1600 - 2000 calories a day should be enough for a gradual weight loss. My target weight is to be 14 stone by the end of the year.

Wish me luck !
