Frank should look at some of th ads on the sides of this comic. They show the chair workout for guys his age an it says it’ll get rid of ‘cortisol belly’
I rmember in th ‘Lockhorns’ comic Leroy’s tellin a friend about Loretta’s diet she’s been on. He said she’s been losing about 6 pounds a week, an he figured that in about 30 weeks, he’d be rid of her entirely
Maybe it’s time for Frank to get back into the gym with Brad and seriously follow a workout program with a proper diet. Even just going to the gym three times a week changes everything. Or he could finally start jogging regularly, or eliminate junk foods and carbonated drinks.
I was at a barbeque once an there was some old guy with a huge beer belly runnin around to all the women tellin em that if you have somethin really good down there like he supposedly had, you build a cover (th beer belly) over it to protect it. The women were obviously being annoyed.
Next time he was tellin that, I spoke up an said that if it was worth a damm, it didn’t need a cover an could protect itself. A coupla women there thanked me for shuttin him down

Gee-Bus, Frank.
You’re in reasonable good health, able to stand on your own two feet unaided and living in your own home with a loving wife.
So take the “W” and move on. ;-)

If you can’t see the numbers on the scale because your gut is in the way, you need to diet.

Perhaps skip the desert for the next week or two. Of course, there’s always much to be said for exercise as well.

’Went to the doctor – ’medical assistant told me to step on the scale.
I said, “I weigh 178# with only my glasses on.”
She said, “What do you weigh without your glasses?”
I said, “I don’t know – I can’t read the numbers.”

I’m watching my weight. Fortunately, most of it is right out there in front of me so it’s easy to keep an eye on.

He could try facing the other direction and look over his shoulder- maybe his butt doesn’t obscure the numbers as much.

Get a digital scale. Not only is it more accurate but the weight is visible for a short time after you step off.

Just looked it up. The lowest rate of obese Americans is in 1) Colorado, 2) Vermont, 3) Massachusetts, 4) Hawaii, 5) California, all blue.
The highest rate of obese Americans is in 1) West Virginia, 2) Oklahoma, 3) Louisiana, 4) Mississippi, 5) Tennessee, all red.
Seems to correlate well with political persuasion. What do you think?

His paunch doesn’t really look all that big. He just needs to lose a little bit, exercise to build up his muscles and improve his posture.
