Re: Ozempic and suchlike...know anybody on 'em?

87 pulse without context is difficult to say much about.

Normal resting pulse can be between 60-100bpm.

If you’d not rested for 2 minutes (like
You’re supposed to) before taking your pulse, that could be a factor

Your pulse may also increase if you don’t like having your BP taken ...

Re: Ozempic and suchlike...know anybody on 'em?

So Friday is weigh in and I'm now 100.9 KG, which is 15 stone something. I haven't been 15 stone something for a very long time.

I've started on the overnight oats, shake for lunch and a healthy meal for dinner.

So, nearly 20kg lighter and feeling strong.

Re: Ozempic and suchlike...know anybody on 'em?


The issue with 'diets' is that, yes they work, you lose [insert goal] weight, so you congratulate yourself, get down the pub to celebrate and resume your pre-diet lifestyle. Ditto the jabs. They'll work, notwithstanding the side effects, but stop them and your appetite returns and you're back in ...

Family friend on the jabs and has gallstones- on list for surgery.

I go out Friday, Saturday and sometimes Sunday. Plus I eat plain chicken as a snack every now and again.

Re: Best meal you've ever had ?

+1 for street food/pop ups.


Eaten in lots of fancy Michelin places.


Fondest memory was a pop up in Lyme Regis doing Spanish food. Just magical. Couple running it were married and worked in IT- but their passion was food ( whose passion is fucking IT?) and it showed.

Re: How do I post a picture?

Lots of ways



I use Imgbb: https://imgbb.com/


It’s free.

Click ‘start uploading’ and then you’ll get a selection of options. I typically go for ‘bbc full code linked’ then click on ‘copy’ next to the long url it creates and chuck it in here.

Re: World Cup

Turkey have recently changed the pronunciation of Turkey. I found out about it during Eurovision, so it is now officially ‘Turk-a-yee’.

They no longer wanted their country being mixed up with the big bird that gobbles - and no, I don’t mean your mum.


Yes, I’m watching the World Cup. I’m ...
