Never been a big fan of Vanessa Feltz but good on her for coming on This Morning & talking about her surgery to solve her weight dilemma #thismorning #gastricband #gastricbypass #dietsdontwork #honesty

Chatting with some friends today who have been going to Slimming Workd for a while. Asked them what exercise they do- 'exercise can stop you from losing weight' was the reply. Why do people get so hung up on the number on the scales? Drives me nuts! #strong #fit #fatloss #gaveuo

@BenTormey He was a trainer for Victoria's Secret models- all skinny as f---!

[Val Allen @ValAllen16]

Personal trainer on This Morning talking about training clients to be strong but not get bulky. So still look skinny. Takes a lot for a woman to get bulky. Not a pt I would use! #thismorning #pt #strong #muscle #train #getabitofmuscle

@charlottemoorsy He said they're trained to 'be strong but not bulky', so in other words still look skinny. The girl doing the demos had no sign of muscle whatsoever!

But I apologise to the receptionist, it's not her fault the systems are crap!

Why do doctor's surgeries make it so difficult for you to actually get an appointment. Non urgent but it seems future appointments are like gold dust, unless you ring at the right time on the right day! #nhs #northtyneside #getmeadr

Sunday whinge, well actually any gym day whinge. Why do some people find it so difficult to put the weights back in the rack once they've finished with them. Same goes for Swiss balls etc. And don't get me started on cleaning the equipment.... #gym #gymproblems #gymetiquette

@coldethyl2 264! I've been recording them but have given up. I actually thought I must have seen most of them already but unlikely. Ran for 12 seasons apparently #murdershewrote

When you've been looking for new gym leggings for months & you finally find the perfect pair. And they're on the half price rail 😊 #bargain #sale #gym #leggibgs #trainibg #nike #royalquays

I don't get why people ask you to dm them but then don't actually check their messages. Or is that just me? #messenger #nevercheckmessages

Does anybody else feel like a complete stalker when they're reading Instagram live stories?! #Instagram #livestories #stalking #nosey

When you find a bar of chocolate in the fridge & it's 2 years out of date. How the hell did that happen! #chocolate #darkchocolate #chocaholic
