I know that a great many pwms are trying to lose weight.
However earlier this year I lost a lot of weight from 10st 5lb to 8st 3lb and it is terrifying with these strong winds.
I had to grab someone’s drainpipe to stop myself from falling the other day.
It made me feel like frail little old lady! I’m getting no younger but really?
so don’t lose too much ballast!
Have those chips and that cake, don’t get blown away!
Thats the best advice ive heard for along time - a good excuse as if i needed it!
Love it Carole!!! Hehehe
I am so sorry, Carole. Pleeeeeeease let me send you half of mine. The wind hit me the other day and stopped dead in its tracks before it turned back in the other direction. I think I saw tears running down its face.
I’m trying to lose weight as I belive it will help a bit with my mobility, I also look like a Buddha.
All jokes aside, it’s bloody hard trying to lose weight by just cutting back on certain foods (and certain drinks) without being able to exercise enough to build up a sweat.
Especially if you’re a foody like me.
My dear late mother would say of a solidly-built person: ‘Well, she certainly won’t blow over in a breeze.’ Sounds like she was right!

I like to believe that if God hadn’t wanted me to be fat, he wouldn’t have given me taste buds.
I’m not jolly and content enough to be a Buddha, but I stopped wearing my lovely purple fleece cape when I realized it made me look like a giant grape.
Oh that made me laugh and I needed it tonight as well. I used to be called hollow legs and bean stalk by my mum until my thirties and then falling an accident where I broke my wrist and couldn’t ride for months the weight has come on and I can’t shift. It. Lock down has most certainly not helped either!
I was always a tall skinny girl. Even after MS sauntered casually into my life uninvited. Until I lost mobility, became a wheelie and meanwhile still wanted to eat & drink ‘normally’ (ie greedily and with great tastebuds so am very picky, but able to satisfy myself!)
Now I would still be tall if I could stand for long enough, or walk. But I’ve turned into the shape of a panda (minus the colouration!). I’d like to lose some weight, but it’s hard given that I can’t exercise enough and really don’t want to stop eating well or drinking!

I have very little mobility and i have lost 3 and a half stone with no exercise at all.I did it by intermitting fasting and the weight shifted quickly too.
Hee hee
Thanks for making me laugh.
The wind stopped dead in its tracks, turned back with tears running down its face!
thanks for the humour

Hi, Bouds the Budha here. I am the right weight…just the wrong height!
Mrs Blobby Bouds!
Oh that did make me laugh Carole thanks.
Well done you. It is so very hard to lose weight. May I enquire how you did it, did you cut things out or follow a diet? I need to do something and need motivation…

Some of these comments are very funny.
Try intermittant fasting… i lost over 3 stone and i have hardly any mobility.I didn’t eat after 6pm and not before 10am next morning.

There are no anon contributions to this thread and suspect you might have picked the wrong post.

I might be wrong but I think the thread you are referring to is the " Be Careful With Replies" thread ?
For what its worth, and if It is that thread, I would agree that it has gone off topic.
Virtual drinks time, It’s my round so get your orders in.
