Looking for weight loss friends

Today I went to the gym for the 1st time in forever. I've already lost 30 lbs from cutting soda out of my life due to migraines. Was 209 now I'm stuck at 188. Anyone else self-conscious when going to gym? I'm 46 and when I got to gym it seemed everyone was already skinny. I don't really diet much and I'm interested in finding something. I can't do keto cuz of my meds and I don't eat alot of meat. I have already cut down portion sizes. Any tips would be great!

Great job! I have so much to lose and struggle staying motivated. The gym gives me anxiety because everyone does seem skinny or just trying to be cute and seen.

Congrats on your journey. Your doing an awesome job. I personally work out at home. I hate that feeling too at the gym. I wanted to tell you. I consume nutritious supplement shakes, as well as eat healthier with good high in proteins. I only work out 20-45 minutes a day and lost 13 lbs in less than 2 months. Are you ready to boost your energy and continue this weight loss journey?

I was exactly the same. Iv being going to the gym since last November. And still get nervous. But what you need to do Is chuck on playlist and go for it. No one is watching you. They are all concentrating in themselves. Well done for taking the first step. Xx

I felt the same way at the gym. I've now cancelled my gym membership and have a "gym" in my house but now I need the motivation to use it at home! Ugh the struggle is real...

Maternity allowance

Hi guys! So I am currently on maternity leave with my boy and pregnant again, my maternity leave is almost over (I took the full 52 weeks off) so I am due back work soon! I have just had an email saying I’m not eligible for statuary maternity pay again and they are sending me a form to apply for maternity allowance! I would only be back at work for approx 6-8 weeks before going on maternity again! So I thought I would use my holidays instead of actually going back but the manager has actually refused them. What I’m wondering is, if I was to hand in my notice, would I still technically be eligible for maternity allowance and get the full amount or would it be the £27 a week? Because if I did do that, then they would obviously still have to pay me my holidays that I’m entitled to?

Change of religion when married.. advice please!

Hi all, my husband has very recently and out of the blue turned to Christianity (we were atheist). I’ve been super supportive, we’re speaking a lot about it, I’m reading the bible to understand. To be clear I don’t have an issue with it at all (I went to a Christian school, just wouldn’t say I’ve found Jesus myself 🤷🏼‍♀️).
I just wondered if anyone has been in a similar situation? What if I can’t come to the same conclusion and we end up not being of the same religion?


Really hoping someone’s gone through similar and may give me an idea of how it turned out please 🙏

Extending maternity leave beyond a year

I’m due to go back to work in June and my baby to nursery after a year off (I work in the nursery she’ll be attending).I can’t claim funding for her until September so considering now staying off with her until then.

Does anyone know how this works? Am I entitled to just tell them I’m doing this or is it something that can be refused now my maternity leave and 52 weeks leave entitlement is up?

Meal Service

Hey mamas! Struggling over here to find the time to do it all, even with partner support. Has anyone done a meal delivery service? I've only heard of Hello Fresh but I know there are others. Thoughts? Experiences? Worth the price? Looking for any way to make our lives easier!
