Thinking about the forthcoming visit of my English friends, and the wife’s eternal problem with her weight. I have done my homework and found her some further diet pills she might like to try.

But watching my next door neighbours sloping off to the gym three or four times a week has made me wonder whether my friend should be taking up some exercise in addition to her diet pills. She does not like the idea of going to a gym and other people ‘looking’ at her. She is sure they are all looking and thinking how fat she is.

Maybe she could buy a piece of gym equipment for use in the home. Something like an elliptical which would give both her upper and lower body a workout at the same time, and would also get her heart rate into the aerobic zone, so that she would be burning off some calories. They are not so huge nowadays, and she could put it in the sitting room and watch television whilst on the machine.

I think I will suggest it to her, I think it may be a good addition to her diet pills and her diet regime.
