Indeed, getting to the point where I get on the scales and don't want to weigh less than last week. Since last May, I have lost 58kg. I can get in to clothes that I wore when I was 16. It's **** weird. That's **** ace Darren. Nice one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It helps if you've got The Malverns a short walk from your front door, though! What's your secret? If it involves no vodka, I'm out But seriously...how dya do it?

It wasn't easy but it wasn't as difficult as I'd imagined.. Love yourself a bit. Just give yourself a pat on the back once in a while, too. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although (apart from the very occasional restaurant meal) it would never occur to me to eat after 7 pm. Yeah, I don't get in til 7ish so got no choice, apart from weekends. It's a bit of a pain but even the wife doesn't get in til after 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm down to about one curry per week now, which isn't too bad.

I did a survey on them last year , had to head to head them against 3 competitors for a Dutch company ...somehow I over purchased about 40 packets , I can confirm they are indeed the nuts , quick blast in the microwave as I'm not really a coffee drinker to balance them on top of the cup they aren't biscuits however Edited November 11, 2020 by tonyh29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 We're always told it's unhealthy to eat late and it certainly feels that way, but then you have Italian and Spaniards having their evening meal at like 10pm. I think they bloody tend to live longer too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post sharkyvilla Posted November 11, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 11, 2020 My Nanna's 100th birthday today, we thought we weren't going to be able to see her but at the last minute her carers put up a big screen and said we could come along and talk through it to her. Made such a difference to the day, we are still doing a Zoom chat later for the others that couldn't come, I'm not sure how she will cope with that! She's got such a great spirit bless her. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it probably won't be Sharky's nan, but the rate of increase in lifespans suggests that the first human to live to 150 or more has already been born.
