The teddy bears of Bearborough have been having a rollicking time at the latest teddy bear picnics. However all the bears have now decided it's time to lose a few of those unwanted pounds from around the midriff.

How many pounds does each teddy want to lose, what are they going to eat less of and what exercise, one being the Teddy Gym, are they going to do?

lbs to lose: 6lb, 7lb, 8lb, 9lb, 10lb

Teddy Rucksack, being a very traditional type of bear, had been used to eating jars and jars of honey and so this was what he decided to eat less of; he wanted to lose 3lbs more than the bear that was taking up jogging, but was not cutting down on cream cakes, to help him in fighting the flab.

Porridge was not reduced by the teddy intending to go swimming, although swimming seems a rather silly exercise for teddies, as they ought to be prone to water retention and should be sinking more than swimming.

Rumbletum, who had the least fat to lose, was not intending to cycle or jog and he certainly was not dropping his intake of porridge.

Big Bear had 2lbs less to lose than the teddy that was going to rollerblade, but he was not intending to eat less of cream cakes and he never eats savoury food.

Podge decided to take up swimming, but he wasn't cutting down on cream cakes or fries. He wanted to lose 2lbs more than Old One Ear.
