Looking for fatty, fitness buddies! Post Reply

[dancing_queen59]

Well not fatties but other people who are over weight (and I'm not meaning a size 8 and you've increased to a 10).

I'm 11 and a half stone, size 16 (although around my stomach, could be more!) and would love to drop 2 stone! I'm also extremely unfit and just running to the end of the road would drop me in a sweat!

I'd love to do some of the fitness groups I see on the common or in gyms but most of the people I see are thin, bouncing fit and frankly after 3 children the old pelvic floor is not up to scratch so jumping jacks and skipping ropes are not my thing!

Is there anyone else interested in starting a group to help each other loose weight by doing some fitness classes. Sorry but must be as unfit as I am and interested in loosing at least a stone.

Please do get in touch!

Happy to join you! I have the same problem...running at the end of the road is not easy anymore After my second child (he is 7 months now) I would love to ditch some weight! I'm probably around 12.5 stones so I definitely have weight to spare! I'm not too much into running but I love long fast walks. What sort of fitness do you like? xx manu

I'd be up for this again 12 stone after Luca and dying to get back into some real clothes. What you thinking? Laughing at your title so funny x

Oh I would be SO up for fatty fitness (great title by the way). Know what you mean about fitness groups on the common being full of slender and youthful souls. Please do keep me posted! Catx

I have just put a reply on out new NCT Relax and Stretch with Baby classes - baby comes along, for babies up to one year old.
Excellent for toning and getting back into shape.

Everyone is postnatal (6 weeks after birth to 1 year old) so I am sure everyone looking to get fitter and firmer, and everyone will be different shapes and sizes x

Yeah, so pleased I got a response to the add!

NCT, thanks so much for your response but I'm personally looking to set up a group where everyone is in the same boat as opposed to joining a currently existing group where you don't know anything about anyone else. Fab for them but lot's of super skinny and super fit postnatal Mums out there!

****************************************************************************************
I was thinking options of fitness being:-

Hiring a personal trainer for a group class?
Going to the gym together and someone setting us up a plan?
Weekly power walk?

I'm also NOT a runner! I'm thinking twice weekly to start off with?

What's your preference, morning or evening? Perhaps one of each?

Would really like to get this started asap!

Any thoughts?x

Would love to join. I am 40 next year and need to lose 2.5 stone. I tried Zumba once, amazing! How about a personal zumba group?
Could we bring baby, have a little tiny one? Please keep in touch or send personal message.

Hey,

Is it worth me setting up a Facebook group so communication is easier and it's also a bit of a support group on diet and after exercise sessions?

[catty29a]

I just pm'd you as I've put in an enquiry to a trainer. But I'd be up for anything really. Power walking definitely. I have quite severely separated abs (yes still - 3 years after giving birth to the last one!) so am a bit limited on crazy twisting etc...at the moment but am working with a great physio to try and get that gap closed. I work 4 days a week but from home so could do either an early morning (sort of 6am thing) or after school drop off 9amish. And evenings are good too. Really hope we could get this going as sounds like there are a few of us like-minded ladies. And yes, facebook group is v good idea.

[emanu_ela]

I also work from home, I can do early morning let's say from 7.30ish if the nanny is available at least once a week to come at that time I can also spare an hour or so during the day after I took my oldest one to school.

The idea of the Facebook page is great, easier to communicate there.

Please let us know the name of the group...Fatty Fitness Buddies is lovely though! xx

[Midwifemummy13]

You are music to my ears I would love to exercise with people who aren't a size 8/10 I would live to loose a stone + I'm awfully unfit. I am based in Balham. Please please let me know when & where you'll be starting this group as your definetly found another member. Hooray to the fatty fitty women's group.
Please keep me informed xx

[dancing_queen59]

Hey,

I've set up the Facebook group!

www.facebook.com/fattyfitnessbuddies

[dancing_queen59]

Hey guys, I've set up a 'group instead', fattyfitnessbuddies

Think this will be easier to communicate on.

Let me know if you can't find it.x

[lisalils]

I have a lot of weight to lose after my second baby and would be v keen to join in. Will look up the group on Facebook x

[kickboxinggirl]

Hi ladies,

If it something you would like to try I would be happy to come down and do some fun boxercise style sessions. (First one free for everyone to see if you like it?)

Two of my current classes are in a ladies only gym focusing on weight loss and toning. There are a lot of larger ladies therir who would feel uncomfortable going to a 'regular' gym. It is full of all shapes and sizes and ages (64 being my eldest in the class!) The great thing about the format is that you work to your own ability... your not trying to run after everyone else down a field to keep up or feel like the slowest/biggest in the group. We have a laugh while we train and don't take ourselves too seriously though always come out knowing we have worked hard

My name is Wendy and my number is 07866 175 924 if you would like to chat more.
