Guaranteed Weight-Loss Program

Vast sums of money enormous chunks of time All spent on losing weight ~ usually ruined by dinnertime It's really quite easy now I know that sounds cheezy But here's the one thing that works, brother Sell your car today, and don't buy another You'll walk everywhere have little time to spare for banquets and luncheons or to lie around potato chip munchin' And even if this radical step doesn't work you have my personal guarantee I'll sell your car back to you for what you took from me ~ sure enjoyed driving it for free

Witty weight loss poem, Gershon. Walking does help many people. I lost 35 lbs. two years ago walking for an hour 5 days a week in our yard. Too bad my knee arthritis got worse because I was doing good. You have such a clever sense of humor. Am Yisrael Chai & Happy New Year!

Currently, I'm eating celery sticks (and a small amount of dip). I'm thin but feel fat. New year starts with a diet. That was a good poem

So, that's how the 'dipstick' was invented, eh?! Happy 2024, Hilda.

Your poem is a guaranteed winner, too. I'll sign up to your program, or at least take it in baby steps, along with the dog.

I can one up ypu. Its called putting the fork down. Weight loss products vary in price. I dont eat much. And I am not big Our bones cannot carry around a lot of weigh…Not everybody can run.. I know you can relate to that. Just walking a mile a day is magic . One doesn’t have to be a first class runner ))just walking is cool.If one can’t do that…walk in the house. The cost of being overwight is worse than weight loss products. It takes lives Pangie

Must admit, when I go running, the reward is always food at the end of it. Got a feeling an electric car will get me fit out in the snow.

Yeah, lol, electric cars will translate to a lot more walking...

I like it, Gershon. Clever and doable. Not many will be willing to take the plunge though, Have a great 2024!, my dear friend. Bill & Sara Baker

Yeah. Even with Uber and Lyft around, people do like their cars. HNY to you and Sara!

I enjoyed reading your creative/fun write. Walking is great for us to do. The problem is, today everything is so far away. I do like to walk... "Happy New Year 2024" .................
