Hi there,

I am 38 years old and have always been underweight due to health problems related to prolonged, since birth, kidney failure. On November 11, 2000 i finally reached end-stage renal failure and began receiving renal dialysis. On 21-Aug-2002, i received a kidney transplant from my father which, however, failed immediately. after another 5 years on dialysis, i finally received a transplant from a cadaverous donation on 27-Aug-2007. After this i gained a lot of weight in a relatively short period of time, going from 63kg(138lbs) to 94kg(207lbs) in just 6months, reaching nearly 96kg(211lbs) by fall 2008. because of other medical problems i was unable to do much about this at the time, as i was not used to having this problem in the first place.

since joining Fat Secret I've lost over 14kg (30lbs), i still have a bit to go. I enjoy cycling, and I've recently been able to get back to riding 3-4 hours at a time. I have registered for the BC Ride to Conquer Cancer 2011, please help me with fund-raising by visiting my personal page at http://www.conquercancer.ca/go...
