Egad! Sigh, I have begun my walking program this summer, 2 miles 3 or 4 days a week. And hoeing and raking and weeding and picking the other days! It is good for me I know but it would be nice if the pounds 'just melted off' like all those ads, Yes? :)Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18209722078916803400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556636739806282968.post-47007439756553186122014-07-20T17:02:06.125+10:002014-07-20T17:02:06.125+10:00Yes it is a fairly basic test but hopefully it wil...Yes it is a fairly basic test but hopefully it will get lots of Aussies to think more about eating well and moving a little more.

I haven't measured my waist but considering the jeans size wear I don't think that's a problem. Being 157cm (5'2.5") means every kilo counts with me. Off to have my (almost) daily walk now. I tell everyone it's to stop the dog gaining any more weight :P!RobynLouisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08050372484207822842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556636739806282968.post-85297492173134748552014-07-16T10:04:34.520+10:002014-07-16T10:04:34.520+10:00Ha ha I am fitter than you Margaret....only four y...Ha ha I am fitter than you Margaret....only four years older! Yes sitting does seem to be a big problem doesn't it? I have to remind myself all day to move around more. Also trying to keep the waist measurement under 80cm when you get older can be a bit of a challenge. It was no problem when I was younger though.

Poop result here , 5 years older from too much craft sitting and not enough moving about.<br /> No alchohol, no smoking, no meat and small portions are not enough if there is too much sitting, have been walking briskly 30 mins 3 times a week for a few weeks, will have to go everyday to keep the extra inches off the tummy !MargaretPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12990336317308988689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556636739806282968.post-14498498220604779732014-07-16T00:07:05.522+10:002014-07-16T00:07:05.522+10:00You are only a year older....well done, J!

Or, another one like it.<br /><br />I stayed late at work this morning (3rd shift) and hauled an unfortunate donation out to the trash. I call that exercise by default, although if I exercised more frequently I could call myself more fit. Probably not going to happen, though.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13601154555210668680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556636739806282968.post-63759446122181734832014-07-15T21:17:28.857+10:002014-07-15T21:17:28.857+10:00Join the club, Barb!

They are so light and comfortable I must admit and well worth the money.

Thanks for putting this up, I had seen the ads on TV but had not followed them up. Time to do something I think.

A friend of mine thinks that the wheat now produces more gluten hence so many people having to go on gluten free diets. <br /><br />I think a lot of people drink Coke and other soft drinks which can't be good. Then there is the junk food and lack of exercise. Hopefully the tide will turn soon otherwise our country is going to be having to deal with young people with life threatening illnesses which could have been avoided as there is no lack of education out there unless you live under a rock.

Thanks for raising this important topic....Hi Chel,<br /><br />Thanks for raising this important topic. I wondered if you have any thoughts on obesity triggered by the way wheat is processed these days and GMO foods.<br /><br />It was surprising to me to return to Australia after living in North America and seeing the level of obesity. I did not expect it at all.<br /><br />I am always wary of advertising too. Marketing junk to people and playing on insecurities!Vee's Easy Veganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10687845145787430380noreply@blogger.com
