Looking for friends
Hi, I'm a 36 year old stay at home mum with 25 kg to lose. The constant access to yummy snack foods is my hardest challenge and getting out for exercise is my next challenge. I've battled through mental illness but I'm currently doing ok. Would love to help other people with similar situations.

Easy exercises for a beginner
Hi I'm 34 and haven't been very active recently. I want to start doing more exercise. I need stuff I can do at home with minimal equipment while my baby sleeps.

Does anybody else get hungry at "that time"
I was totally starving all day despite eating lots of food (including fruit and veggies) today. Yesterday was a normal day and i was just under my calories too. But I think it's cos it's almost that time of the month. Does this happen to anybody else?

So I normally weigh myself in the morning before breakfast (when you're meant to be lightest) and I've been 78 kg for a few days (up from77) then tonight I weighed myself after dinner (when you're meant to be heaviest) and was 75kg. Weird. I haven't logged my new weight cos I'm not sure it's real and not going to go back…
