    I've been thinking of this myself.

    What kind of test is it? How do they test?

    I do a fair amount of walking and will continue to do so.

    I am only clinically obese from super duper morbidly obese recently - vitamins, minerals and hormones maybe out of whack?

    Perhaps I need a change in contract too.

    Just getting stale.


    Thanks...

    Most people unless they are alcoholics have normal liver function even if they have been subject to binges in the past.

    Oh and if you have a family history of heart disease and have been a lazy bugger you have to get checked out before you start regardless of age. Depending on where you are in the country your GP will be happy to sort it out for you as they don't want you dying on them.

    I think I need a challenge, something to break me out of this feeling of boredom.

    I'm hoping that being more active and not dwelling on food will get me out of this malaise.

    Apart from scuba diving and walking - got any ideas?

    Thank you...

    Have you tried getting tested to see if you have any vitamin deficiencies? I know if I don’t take my vitamins, I tend to eat more. It’s like my body needs particular vitamins and it triggers me to eat to try to get what it needs. Worth a try.

    You could sign up for SY01's cycling roadtrip. It has all the motivational and feel-good parts, but with the benefit you'll never actually have to get on a bike.

    If you're near MK why not go to the snow dome (assuming it's still there)

    They have a nandos there
