I went away with my sister, camping in Weymouth for 1 week. It was my first holiday since 2004. We had a great time, and I can’t beleive it took us so long to do it – only set us back about £300-400 between us.

If it’s financial reasons why you have this as a goal (I guess the rest of you are trying to find the time to??) then my tips for you would be:

—Determine your budget and find something that fits. Camping in your own (albeit potentially tiny and not that comfortable..) tent on a small site can cost as little as £5 per night. There’s no point dreaming of an expensive 5* holiday if there’s no hope of affording it.

—Choose your holiday-partners carefully!! The main reason why I haven’t been on a holiday in a very long time is that my boyfriend has been on-off unemployed for about 3 years. By going away with my sister I only had to pay half, thus saving 50% on my holiday!!

—Bear in mind why you want a holiday and open your mind and soul to the cheaper opportunities out their

Best of luck and I hope you have a fab time!!

I’ve always had a low bmi (between 18.5 and 19.5) and people always complement my figure, but this just shows how screwed up our society is!
Why is it desirable to be boney and have the figure of a teenager rather than have womanly curves?
I currently weigh 9 1/2 stone, which is the lowest I have weighed since I was about 14 years old (I’m 5’10/5’11 btw). Yet people still say I look great – are they crazy? My periods have stopped now as well as a result of my weight loss.
There really needs to be more support and advice out there for people who need to gain weight. If you don’t have an eating disorder nobody cares about us skinny people’s problems!!
