I planned to lift weights and follow an upper body workout, but a visit from a surveyor about my house meant I was struggling for time, so I just did a quick Paso dance routine wearing an Irish flag for St Patrick’s Day, I record my workouts for an online group I’m in so here’s the photo, dressing up in something silly…

Hi Jane, I’m Helen, I’m 55 but I had an early menopause. It left me with a souvenir belly and hair loss! The good side is all my hot flushes were done by the time I hit my 40s so I got it out the way early! But my waist quickly went from 32 inches up to 43 inches… and a year later I gained weight rapidly after my dear Dad…

I’ve walked miles this week after a 3 day trip to London where I walked everywhere, I’ve done 2 Bodyfx dance workouts, an Abs workout and Rhythm Fit weights workouts, and today I spent 50 mins trying to master the steps in a Samba routine… i much prefer lifting hand weights to dancing! 💪🏻💪🏻

Dog walk to lake and beach, I was walking up and down the beach for a couple hours. Then I did a quick Belly Dance routine ( Bodyfx ), I should have done more but the osteoarthritis in my knee was aching, everytime I have a long walk my leg hurts, so I usually prioritise my workouts over my walking!

Lots of super tips on this thread! Ive been gluten free for a month after having tummy problems/toilet problems for the past 8 months. I also have low iron, joint aches and a premature menopause. After 120 days of "running to the loo" I was drained, so my GP arranged for me to see a gastroenterologist, who is running more…

Excellent facts about protein/insulin...bumping for later as I haven't time to read it all now!

I lost a fair bit last year (about 16lb, maybe slightly more) through calorie cycling, although I didnt plan to do this, it sort of happened by accident as I have the sort of hectic lifestyle that sometimes means I eat more on certain days and other days alot less. And discovered by chance that after a couple of days of…

Oooh whats the link then hun?? My Isaac has autism, Alex was borderline ADHD when he was last seen, and my Dad has mental health issues, we've always thought he was bi polar, sadly my Dad is an alcoholic as it was the only way he could cope with life. Isaac's Dad has manic mood swings...interested in the link but it hasnt…

Ive just got this book as an early birthday present. Wondering what people think on here, many success stories or is this just filed on the bookshelf and forgotten about? Im an emotional eater and a chocoholic. If I could just sort out my emotional eating and what triggers that off then I would be very happy. For people…

Reading all these posts has really inspired me to start up running again! I used to run a few years ago, but I was always too embarassed in case anybody saw me, so I would run round and round a field! I really enjoyed it and it became addictive. Theres nothing like running round a frosty field as the sun is coming up and…

Ive been on this site for 14 months now. Every single month I lose about 5lbs, then I get PMS or TOM and will gain that 5lb back again. Then the next month I lose the 5lb again and just start feeling good about myself, then my hormones change, I get PMS and eat more than i should and gain it all over again! Its a never…

I know you all have your reasons for feeling low but this time last year I was really battling with depression, I would be in tears on and off all day some days and I would snap at anybody. BUT what has really helped me is taking up a new hobby. As silly and basic as this may sound, I bought myself a good camera and now I…

Photography is my hobby and I find it so totally absorbing and time consuming that I dont even think about eating!! Im using my hands either taking photos or downloading and editing them, so cant reach for food. Im pretty passionate about it! and it also helps when Im feeling low too! Other things that help are listening…

Chocolate is so addictive, if I didnt keep chocolate in the house it would be so much easier to wean myself off, but I have 3 children and they have chocolate snack bars for their school lunch every day and biscuits! My partner, annoyingly, is very underweight and has to eat alot, he is 6ft and weighs less than me so I…

If Im having a really bad day, or if I am premenstrual, its got to be pizza or cheesecake...or anything chocolatey!! I have a really bad addiction to chocolate and Im trying to work out how to stop my chocolate cravings, if its better to go cold turkey and not touch any chocolate. Someone once said it takes 21 days to…

This is the same as me!! I have eaten lots of vegetable stews and soups this week and its given me painful bloating, but Ive also been having hunger pangs, sort of fluctuating between feeling starving hungry and feeling full??? Which is really strange. I will take the advice on here and drink a little bit more.

I had to give up exercise 5 months or so ago, I was so motivated and dedicated before and as soon as I stopped exercising the weight piled back on and I was so disheartened and found it very difficult to get that motivation and dedication back. I slipped into the wrong mindset. Prior to giving it up I was boxing twice a…

Thats fab, you look lovely, and what an inspiration!!! Well done :)

Thank you for your lovely reply. Youre so right, as his mummy I do know best. Ive fought the teachers and SENCOs attitude and I will continue doing so. Still waiting for the diagnosis team to get in touch, theyve not even been in to see him yet so I need to chase up the paediatrician again. I was wondering about visual aid…

What a heart warming story, lovely to hear! My son is 8, possibly autistic-awaiting diagnosis and he is very loud!!! He had speech therapy when he was 6 and he is going back again after being discharged 2 yrs ago. One thing Ive noticed is his voice is either very monotone and quiet, like he's mumbling or high pitched and…

Thank you for all your lovely messages. Ive decided to take Isaac back to the doctor. Last week he ran out in front of a car, we told him off, then he was talking about hurting himself. At times he really is a danger to himself. Apart from that, we've had a good week with no anxiousness about going into school. Isaac has…

I really feel for you here, Im also a single Mum, I have 3 children and get patronised too, 5 yrs ago I was married with my own business and peoples attitudes changed once hubby left and I became a single parent. Really bad that they are doing that, youre a person in your own right, a good mum and your coping as best you…

Thank you for your lovely message, if only all teachers/SENCos shared your attitude! There is one teacher's assistant who I can talk to and she seems to respect me and my son unlike the other teachers in the class, and she tells me she has a soft spot for my Isaac, if it wasnt for this lovely lady I would have pulled him…

Nice hairy muscular chest...and that little line of hair that goes right down...it has to be a hairy muscular chest to make me weak at the knees, no smooth chests....oh and you cant beat a nice pair of strong arms wrapped around you with nice muscular shoulders.
