Ah… now horse eh Crabby? Only ever had that once in my entire life many many years ago whilst working in Europe. A Frenchman at our company cooked it at our workplace much to the disgust of one other & I can still recall his response despite it being decades ago.

I’d have to say I’d still go for that in preference to summer’s little delicacy.

summer, sorry but I suspect you’ll have to eat it all by yourself. :laughing: :innocent:

I just don’t get/understand why it is so hard to loose weight. it is easy, get rid of husband/wife/ partner.

Hmm? & here was I thinking that it was only the ahem “exercise” that happened between husband/wife/ partner, that was keeping some of them slim. Perhaps I was mistaken. :innocent:

horizontal jogging which I think you are referring to only puts muscles on the thighs.

There is of course to old joke about a child watching their parents do this and asked why, to make him slimmer his wife said. Then saw the woman next door blowing him up again

Seated exercise may be an option for you. I run fitness classes for over 50’s. I use a wheelchair due to a disability, i adapt exercises so they can be done safely. I have a Facebook page called Active-Ability with a few clips of the exercises i teach. As for dieting, i lost a lot of weight with Noom, which is based on mindful eating techniques. Healthy foods dont have to be boring at all.

Thank you. I will have a look at the site. I think I am simply lazy when it comes to exercising.
It is much easier to do nothing than to make an effort to exercise.
Lazy bones. :laughing:

I just realised, I am not with facebook.
Never mind, I can look on youtube. I am still the same weight I was 2 years ago.
73.4kg.

I used to be like you. People often asked me if I was pregnant, even though I wasn’t at an age, they should assume that. Losing weight was difficult for me until I started learning from YouTube. I continued eating all food groups but in the right amounts, increasing protein and fiber


while reducing fat and carbohydrates. In just three months, I lost 7 kilograms.

I’ve never actually tried to loose but I have lost a bit recently, ever since giving up the beer.

That’s good. Have whole unmilled oats. Careful with the milk (almond milk is good) and no sugar, honey or syrups. I usually slice a small banana onto mine or a couple of peach halves,

The family keep buying Scotch eggs and I have one a day. :laughing:

Who had a scotch egg during lockdown?

I had some corned beef - does that count?

Drinkers in tier two areas of England could order a Scotch egg with their pint to keep in line with post-lockdown rules, a cabinet minister has said.

Decisions decisions, one big one or five small ones :grin:

I noticed they call them ‘Savoury Eggs’ Spitty…Is that a PC woke thing… :009:
