This has come at a pretty dire time for me because as well as focusing on changing my attitude to fitness, I have also been working through a lot of issues from my childhood/present with…

Motivational Websites - Show Us Your Best!
I spend a vast amount of my time convincing myself it is actually a good idea to go to the gym, and I've found a couple of online gems along the way which really give me a digital kick up the *kitten*. http://eatcleanmakechanges.tumblr.com - Firstly, there's the rather wonderful 'Eat Clean Make Changes' Tumblr, which hosts…

Baby Steps, But Happy!
I know it's not much, but I just wanted to tell those starting out on their fitness regime that even in a month you can sometimes see little results (don't think this is my imagination?!), and you FEEL so much better :)

Drain or Radiator Friends?
There are two types of friend that I keep coming across in my life; drains and radiators. This has been particularly apparent on my fitness journey... - Radiators - Radiators first. Radiators are the people who put the life into the saying 'smile and the world smiles with you.' Radiators are infectious. They naturally make…

Happy Welsh Valentines Day!

UK buddies to kick *kitten*!
Firstly, happy new year! -- I wonder how many of us are here thanks to NY resolutions? My name is Ceri, and I'm a 25 year old Welsh lass based in London, and I'm USELESS at sticking at anything in life - hobbies, fitness, you name it - I will get bored of it in a couple of weeks.

How to find a gym buddy?
Hey MFPers -- I have a quick question for you all. I'm wanting to get into freeweights and lifting at my gym, but am rather inexperienced. In the past I have gone with boyfriends and they've spotted for me and helped me with my form. Alas, now I have to go it alone and I'm still definitely in need of guidance. How did you…
