Stuart Davis AO - Devon Cornwall & Somerset Posted January 22 Posted January 22 20st! Time to lose weight… again 🤪 That is all 🤣🤣 4 Quote
Captain Colonial Posted January 22 Posted January 22 You don’t need to lose weight, you just need to be compressed. Try Spanx and a whalebone corset. 5 Quote
Stuart Davis AO - Devon Cornwall & Somerset Posted January 22 Author Posted January 22 It’s not the speed or weight, it’s the width between side frame and centre tunnel! There’s not a lot of room for a large backside 🤪 1 Quote
Captain Colonial Posted January 23 Posted January 23 Yep, owning a narrow does bring these things into sharp focus. I can’t have my wallet in my back pocket when driving my narrow as it can make my leg go numb, not an ideal driving scenario when braking. Being on steroids for my medical conditions has not helped slim my shape, either. It can get very confining, but it’s quite effective for holding you in place during spirited cornering. 2 Quote

But if you spent some of that cash out of your wallet on more power and carbon that would solve both issues!😀 2 Quote

As for CF, decorum prevents me from providing my opinion on that issue… 3 Quote

Time to lose weight… again 🤪 That is all 🤣🤣 I'm not sure of your age Stuart but I'm gonna guess like me you are no longer in the flushes of youth? Have you gained weight unexpectedly recently for no obvious reason? It happened to me a few years ago as I entered my 60s. Gained 11 lbs for no reason I could figure out. Turned out I'd hit the male menopause and my testosterone had packed up. Got on treatment from the NHS and without changing anything lost 32lbs over about 6 months! May be worth getting your testosterone levels checked by your doctor, it's just a blood test that's all so worth doing. In fact as you age I think it's a good idea to get a full blood count done once every few years if you can, it will show up and catch anything untoward early with luck. 2 1 Quote

He's in his mid twenties! 😉 Just kidding, @Stuart Davis AO - Devon Cornwall & Somerset 3 Quote

I have a habit of saying it is no secret why I am the size I am, and that it took a lot of expense in chocolate and pies to get here! 😟 I know I can lose weight. Prior to Covid I lost over 40kg through diet and exercise. I kept this off through most of Covid but somewhere around the last lockdown I lost the plot and it has crept back up since then. I have a kind of ‘switch’, so can be quite polarised in that I’m either on it or not. Hopefully I will re find my way and get back on it, I will certainly be much more comfortable in the car when I do, and it might even go faster 🤣. The car isn’t going anywhere, I’m committed to it so will just have to ensure I can get into it more comfortably in future…. So, if you see me, don’t offer me cake! 🤪🤣 BTW, this is my motivation to do it again! I know that I can. I might even iron the shirt next time, I didn’t need to in the image on the left! 6 Quote

Obviously this is a personal choice but my daughter and my ex have both lost tonnes of weight on those so-called 'skinny jabs' around 30kgs each so far. You can get them online privately fairly easily now. Might be worth investigating at least @Stuart Davis AO - Devon Cornwall & Somerset? 1 Quote
Flying Carrot Steve Posted January 24 Posted January 24 I have to personally thank Tesco for helping me quit my Cadbury Dairy Milk habit. I refuse point blank to pay 5 quid for the newest biggest bar of 360 grams. I have over the last year carefully watched Tesco set us all up for this adduction by price controlling and manipulation with their 'fake' discount offers. It's absolutely disgraceful what they get away with doing to their customers in the pursuit of yet even more billions in profit. 1 1 Quote
