“I had to,”she moaned.”The other doctor put me on the scales and told me I was a beast,”
Appalled,I confronted my colleague about the matter.His account of their conversation was rather less dramatic.
“I said she was obese.”

No worries, you still can turn the room into a fitness haven-but forget the bike and head straight to bed;Having vigorous sex can burn off about 130 calories per half hour.You can burn off two kilograms a year with 135 lovemaking sessions-that works out to 2.6 times a week.
And there are other health benefits to habitual sex: British researchers who examined 914 middle-age men over 20 years found that frequent sex might help the heart.
