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

    • Yet another increase, its absolutely disgusting. I was charged £7.95 to send documents recorded delivery last week. I asked for the Signed for option that only costs £2.50 but the Post Office refused & said they would only send them recorded delivery. 
    • Thanks Admin for clarifying - I’ve now found the post they used to scrape my telephone number from. So it wasn’t a data breach from EDF, rather my foolishness posting it online 15 years ago…    Still leaving this thread here if that’s ok so that people are aware of this scam and don’t fall foul of it (also to think twice before posting phone numbers here as it can be used by any one as I’ve found out!)
    • There is deliberately nowhere to enter your phone number, name, address etc anywhere when registering an account on this forum. There never has been. There is no way to attach this sort of personal information to your account.  If someone says that EDF has given your phone number, then this is a lie. No personal information is sold to any third party and it is not collected in the first place.     
    • Anyone else received a cold call from this company pretending to be calling on behalf of EE? When I asked how they’d got my data they said ‘from East Dulwich forum’. I have contacted the Admin to find out whether EDF are selling our data to marketing companies or if they’ve been hacked. Alternatively the website is being scraped somehow.    Just warning others in case anyone else receives a call- it’s a scam, do not engage with them 🙂
