Hi I am in my 40's and have found myself unfit and unhealthy, time to sort it out! We all know what we should and shouldn't eat but I struggle with motivation and support. I don't want to join an online support group as sitting in front of the laptop trying to maintain motivation doesn't seem to work. Is there anyone in the area who would like to get motivated and excersise without having to find the cash for personal training . Let me know if you're interested.

There is loads of free fitness activities on the what's on in East Dulwich.


You don't need someone else to get you out of the house, JFDI. If you rely on other people if they lose motivation then so will you.


We are blessed with nice parks round here. Walk, Jog, Cycle get your heart pumping. You only need to make the change for a couple of weeks then you'll see the benefits.

Hello Hilili - as paragon says - look in the What's On Section of the forum...


In particular, look for the FREE! Fitness in the Park Saturdays thread. We meet at 10am on Saturdays at the cafe in Peckham Rye, it's a real mix of ages and abilities, we do a circuit of the park but with lots of stopping for different things - it's not non-stop running. It's really good fun and very encouraging. Then we all have a coffee afterwards.


And it's completely free - come along!

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
