I don't know!!! No end of people around my age and even younger - friends and rellies - seem to be dropping like flies. Strokes, cancer, diabetes etc etc. Made me and Mitch evaluate our lives, tis sad seeing one of your best mates struggling to walk having had a stroke after years of stress at work.
We're going on a health and fitness campaign this year. If i'm gonna die it had better be with my boots on :p than from the complications of some chronic illness.
Anyone joining us or are you all content being fat idle bastards? :D

EXCUSE ME! Mrs.R! I have lost 13Ibs since January.! Only another 4 stone to go! :(
Had the same thing going on here.
Started doing exercise in me 1/2 hour for lunch. They all think i'm nuts lifting bars are steel off and on the racks. Good news is I only managed 61 situps on Monday and I'm already upto 141 without stopping.
Although my belly does perform an extra 2 before it stops.
Feeling better already though and I've cut out anything sweet (no real loss to me) Crisps (hiss hiss I hear from the Freak household) and mayonnaise.
I've put on 10 stone since I married my good lady, I doubt I could drop that much but I'd like to shave off 5 if I can!

As some know my wife had a stroke a few years ago at the tender age of 30. It's been hard especially since my job is working with stroke survivors. But I'll join you Mrs R as I could do with losing a bit of the winter blubber!!
A few points about stroke:-
10,000 people below the age of 65 have a stroke every year.
1,000 are below the age of 30
250 children have a stoke every year
Childern can also suffer stroke whilst in the womb
Most stroke survivors under the age of 30 are female
And they tend to be haemorragic(bleed in the brain) if you are younger.
Older people that have a stroke tend to be caused by life style.
Sorry to be gloomy but that should help motivate us all to get a bit fitter:)

Well done chaps :) The annoying thing is I actually prefer the larger gentleman - always have, but worry about being a widow too soon :(
I am secretly a feeder - would like to see Mitch bigger but must resist, resist. Both on diets, 3 stone to lose - bugger!

3 Stone...............what as a family, there aint enough of you two, to shed that sort of weight.
Mitch, what you can do is take my old clothes when they are too big and pad them out with your old clothes, to satisfy the urges of your young lady.
Tuesday morning my mates girlfriend went in to her oldest daughters (13) room to wake her up.
She was dead.
In the night she'd rolled over on to a can of deodorant that was lying on the bed and it had discharged stopping her from breathing.
What a f*****g awful thing to happen.

Perhaps we should all think about that, it might just save a life.

as many know on here i have nad a few heart attcks, luckily fo rme damage is so far minor.
But I have changed my life around (as much a sone can) my weight is not coming off a quick as it should, but I am slowely doing more n more.
Last year was a very big shock to me with that n burying a lot of good friends. that it made me realise that i am not invinsible (finally the wife says !!). I took a good hard look at myself n tried to stay at home and do what the dr's say - but ive decided that I want to do my own thing my own way.....
I'mm slower now and I'm more careful but at least I am enjoying my life :)
wishing everyone all the best

I was about 2 stone bigger when I met Mrs R, but somehow I managed to lose it (was due to excessive drinking and eating when going through my CAMRA phase) I could lose about a stone quite happily. Before Yule, I managed to get to 13 1/2!

Extremely tragic, caught something about it on the local news today.
