Let me introduce myself.....

Hi, I'm Fran. I'm a 32 year old single girl from Canberra.

To be honest, I have absolutely no idea where to start, so thought I would share a few fun facts about myself:

• When I was 18 I was pulled up on stage at a Blink182 concert after getting elbowed in the face whilst trying to push my way to the front of the mosh pit. They wanted to check I was alright, I just stood there like a stunned mullet.

• Also at 18, I got a job waitressing at formal events. On one occasion I worked at Parliament House here in Canberra for a function that was hostel by the then prime minister of Australia, John Howard. All was going well until I was asked to carry a tray full of champagne around the hall. I made way into the middle of the floor, right where John and his wife were greeting people, it was at this exact moment when I dropped the tray and spilt champagne all over them and myself. I have never wanted the ground to swallow me up as much in my life.

• I'm a little bit awkward in social settings and always end up in bizarre situations because I'm so naive and can't say no - I have quite a few interesting stories, but stayed tuned!!

• I have lost 60kgs and at my heaviest weighed 160kgs+. Whilst at this weight, I auditioned and almost made it on to The Biggest Loser. I was looking for a quick fix and was struggling with life, so at the time I thought this was a good option. I was the second reserve female and missed out because apparently I was 'too pretty' and came across as being 'too normal' to make for a good transformation. In hindsight, I'm glad this didn't eventuate.

• Since losing the 60kgs I am completely different person and actually love life now, rather than hiding away from it. At my worst I was very depressed and even tried to kill myself - I hated who I was. Fast forward two and half years and I've found an amazing gym, with amazing and supportive people and it's like my second home. I also put myself out there more and have done things I never thought I would like climb Mt Kosciusko, complete Tough Mudder and Miss Muddy and enter my first power lifting competition.

• I am not good with the opposite sex at all, hence why I am single! I turn into a nutcase and make a complete fool of myself usually by either tripping over my own feet, walking into something like a wall or coming down with a case of verbal diarrhoea. I am on tinder and actually have had quite a few half decent matches, but everytime it gets to the 'let's meet up' stage, I delete the app. I know I'm doing something wrong here.......

• Despite being terrible with men, I am also a hopeless romantic at heart and hold onto the hope that the man of my dreams is just going to come knocking on my door. I realise my thinking is flawed and perhaps it comes from watching The Notebook one too many times, but a girl has got to have some hopes right??? And, no offence to the men of Canberra, there isn't lot of fish in the sea, so I'm holding onto this fantasy for now.

Thats just a quick snippet of me!
