Oh, to lose weight

PD was at the Pub yesterday, second time this year. He's still been having medical tests, still trying to lose weight.

"I've been told to lose 2 stone in 6 weeks. It's ridiculous. How am I meant to do that? I've been doing a couple of mile walk every day, pushing the grandson along in his pram. I've not been drinking my beer. I've not had any fried food for months. And I've not lost a thing."

He's off next to see if the GP can suggest anything. He's tried doing what the dietitian says & that's not help. At least he's now admitting he's 24 stone & something has to be done to reduce it. He's even beginning to wonder if surgery or liposuction isn't the answer if only the NHS will pay for it! We can but hope some means is found.
