I have just been given a very bad warning by my GP, lose five stones plus or face the prospect of arthritis. I am almost 42 tall and weigh 20 stones and I'm already starting to suffer with extreme stiffness in my legs and joints. Just bending down to tie my shoelaces is impossible (I've had to revert to wearing slip-on shoes as a consequence) and now I hate having to feed my wifes cats as the p[ain bending down and getting up is excrusiating.
So, without going down Victor Meldrew Street, my conscience is saying join Weight watchers. However my bank balance is saying something else. So, I want to gauge opinion on here, would there be an interest amongst musicians in starting a weight loss support group thread on here that would be a trifle less extortionate than Weight watchers/Slimming World, or any other similar weightloss scam out to capitalise upon people's misfortune??? Thank You. DB. |
