Re: A Weighty Subject.
Do you know I think all the diets in the world boil down to how much you put into your mouth. I refuse to waste money with slimming world, and various fat clubs around the country. I have really severe asthma and my doctor gave me a prescription for the gym its called something like new start. You get exercises to suit your health and diet advice and its all free. I check my calorie intake online as I said earlier. I am about 4 stone overweight due to lack of exercise. I started last week and have lost 4lbs. Onwards and upwards ladies and gents we can do it

Following my second (left) hip replacement I determined that I needed to strengthen my thigh muscles again and so signed on at a local gym. Went every week and spent 1 hour giving my thighs a real work out. After four months and while having a real good go on the step machine, had a sudden and excruciating pain in my chest. Came off the machine and sat on the ground, staff came to find out what had happened. I told them I had chest pains, they panicked and whistled up an ambulance. I spent the next four days in hospital, having been diagnosed with yet another (third) pulmonary emboli. Have subsequently had two more since then. As a consequence, I'm not too enamored of gyms and exercise and I definitely don't do diets !!!

Get an all-in-one oven glove (the ones which are one strip of material and a 'pocket' at each end).
Put a weight in each pocket (tin of beans, half a brick, bag of sugar) which you are comfortable with.
Sit on the edge of the dinning table with your legs dangling and your knees against the table edge (put a towel underneath your leg for more comfort)
Put a leg out straight and place the oven glove over your ankle (make sure it's balanced).
Then slowly and smoothly lower the leg and lift it.
Do say 20 reps on each leg, and gradually (when it starts to become easy) increase the weight and the number of reps.
I was taught this years ago following a cartilage removal. My right thigh was 2" circumference less than my left, but this soon put that right.
Best of luck..............

Skip the dieting & exercise pet, just keep the rest of us entertained with your "advice."
