Friend David,

The joint pain has been getting worse lately and the doctor did a pile of tests and reckons that the problem is excessive wear and tear , too many broken bones , damaged and worn joints , damaged tendons and ligaments over the years , being a bad asthmatic with a ulcer makes taking most pain killing medication problematic , doc reckons that one of the best things I can do for the pain is get some weight off , and he wants me to do it fast , two weeks ago I was 232 lb , I'm now down to 224 lb , doc wants me to get down to 200 lb before I go up to 2000 calories a day , it's been hard , also I just got over a stomach flu just in time to catch a ordinary flu , and laying around sick is a time I generally feel like nibbling , when I see the recipes I just feel like eating , but you are right , I checked up and a 1 lb serving of red beans and rice is about 500 calories so I could probably have one serving of a night

Heck David, I lost 15 pounds quicker'n a politician kin tell a lie. I weighed in at 247 at the doctor's office. Had my boots on, pocket change, small knife 'n some keys. Next time I got naked (at home), I weighed in at 230. I kin eat all the beans 'n rice I want....but not with cole slaw. Miz Bear sez she heard enuff of that. :mrgreen:

Politics is the business of getting power and privilege without possessing merit. A politician is anyone who asks individuals to surrender part of their liberty - their power and privilege - to State, Masses, Mankind, Planet Earth, or whatever. This state, those masses, that mankind, and the planet will then be run by ... politicians. P. J. O'Rourke

Yankees... They always get things backwards ....
It's the Baked Beans that does that , they are normally referred to as after burners (later that night ) especially if you have them with some hard cooked eggs , a sprinkle of hot sauce on them and a beer or two at a picnic. :lol:

With me it's onion , bloody awful , dead set it would gag a bloody maggot , feel like I'm jet propelled

My wife is all for the idea of me loosing weight , she reckons that my joints go snap crackle pop when I walk down the hall way

Bear
yeah I wear that much crap too but the doc is a wake up to that , he weighed me and said that we will allow 2 KG for clothing , wallet , and assorted pocket knifes

Wife has me on one of those packet diet milk shakes for breakfast , another one or a diet packet soup for lunch and a smallish normal meal at night , added all together with 2 x cups of coffee and 2 x cups of tea a day and that comes in around 1000 calories , shit I hate diets !!!!
