Health and well-being support group for women

Recommended Posts

Hello Forum,


I thought I?d see if there?s any interest out there in forming a group for women to meet and support each other in achieving goals in improved fitness, physical well-being, mental well-being and weight loss? My thinking is that there are proven benefits to working in a group to achieve goals like these, but the more prescriptive commercial groups like Weight Watchers and Slimming World just don?t suit some people (me being one of them!). I?m imagining a group of, say, 10/15/20 women meeting once a week for a couple of hours, for mutual support and encouragement, ideas swapping, finding exercise buddies and so on - with the focus on improving all round physical health and happiness (weight loss being a definite aim but not the overarching focus of every discussion). I am female and middle aged, generally pretty cheerful and healthy but would like to get rid of some of the poundage that has joined me since I was 40. If you feel you might like to meet up with me and similar women (all ages!) and get a group off the ground then please get in touch via PM. Many thanks, Jackie.

I thought this was mixed (a few years ago anyway)

It is. This is a different thing

Hi Jackie,

Have you had much interest in this or any luck with getting this started? I am a personal trainer and love the idea of local people coming together, encouraging each other to get moving and get healthier! If a group has come together I would like to come by and offer a bit of support if my diary allows and if you'll have me!

Thanks, Harriet

    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
