    Well done scorpio! You're heading in the right direction, congratulations! :) Keep us posted. I'm trying but so far without success. I keep backsliding. DD

    I am 5ft4 and as well as arthritis I have type 1 diabetes. Everv taken both steroids and insulin? You end up 12st + . But I havew an answer thgat nobody mentioned so far...

    LAUGHING burns calories. This joke will be as good as a run to the end of your driveway, or so I am told:

    An Englishman, an Irishman and an American are on top of the Empire State building having each imbibed 15 pints of Guinness. The American turns to the others and says, 'Did you know that after 15 pints you can fly for a mile from this building and come back perfectly safe?'

    'Prove it' says the irishman (my compatriot)

    'Ok', chiprs the American. He steps gracefully off the edge, swoops into the air, loops the loop and returns with style and aplomb.

    'I wanna try', says the Irishman. He steps off the edge - and plummets to his grizzly death 100 storeys below.

    The Englishman turns to the American and says, 'B***er me, Superman. You're a right b*****d when you're p***ed.'

    Not very PC, but definitely burnt a few calories.

    There was a thread (or a mention of) laughter courses fairly recently, last week maybe? DD
