Scared to get on those scales...!
First of all, I am 100% grateful that I have escaped this pandemic (so far) unscathed and I have not had Covid or lost anyone to it or lost my job (touch wood-so far). Lots of gratitude. But the past couple of years of struggles with mental health and lockdowns have really taken their toll on my health and I am now the…

Any single people left in the world?!
I know I am being mard and dramatic this weekend but it really feels like I am one of very few single people left in the world right now!! All of my close friends except for one are in relationships. They are all around my age range too - mid 20s early 30s. What is wrong with me?!?!?!

Turning 30 - shouldn't I be like an adult now?!
So am I too early for a mid life crisis as I turn 30 in June? Basically I have wasted my 20s I have done next to nothing of note. I am sick of my life: it is boring and lame. I still live with my parents as I can't afford to move out, I have lots of debt as I bought tons of random crap when I was in my early 20s (because I…

Ladies...the Jiggle Factor!
Now that I have started doing some group exercise including boxercise and a form of martial arts, I have become more aware of The Jiggle Factor.

What are men's thoughts on stretchmarks?
I know someone who is doing internet dating. They were emailing a guy and planning to meet when he emails and asks her if she has stretchmarks as she has had a child and if so then he doesn't want to meet. I've done internet dating myself and I know a lot of men on there treat it like they are ordering from a catalogue -…

What is attractive?
Bit of a random question but what does everyone find attractive/sexy? Men and women. But I am curious as to what most men find attractive...? With the influence of mags, movies, porn, music vids, it is quite confusing to know what men really like?

Feeling really terrible, but hoping it will get better...
I have been struggling for months to get going. My training is good just my diet is crap. It's so frustrating cuz I know I can do it I have before. I am depressed and feel really bad about myself - feel like I'm worthless and hideous. I have decided to start counselling privately as the wait for the NHS is months. I can't…

Just found this quote on a website....I like it especially t
Especially the last line... I gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which I must stop and look fear in the face... I say to myself, I've lived through this and can take the next thing that comes along... We must do the things we think we cannot do. ~Eleanor Roosevelt~

Weight and Sex Appeal...
I am just interested as to what thoughts are on weight and sex appeal? On the one hand we are told by slimming industry advertising, mags etc that losing weight boosts confidence, makes you more attractive etc. People who have lost weight and kept it off talk about feeling more attractive, sexy, feeling better in…
