'I'm washed and I've got a bra on' needs to go on a t-shirt! 😂

‘I’m doing the best I can right now’. I really needed that ❤

It was very thoughtful of your past self to buy a mat for when you needed it 🤗🍄🌻

I desperately needed a channel I could watch to help me with accepting my body as it is right at this moment. Overweight, sagging but I've been on so many diets in my life and always put the weight back on. I've had a life of misery regarding my weight and not being able to accept it. I am now 72, still overweight but have come to accept this is me, no more diets, weighing myself every morning, I've been through it all. To find Lauren and see how she is now after her journey from avid dieter to now accepting herself has been such a joy and boost for me. I may be 72 but I still like to look good and you don't have to be a tiny size to achieve this. All the comments I read on here are fantastic and mirror just how I feel. Thank you Lauren and all your followers for making me feel I'm not a total failure. Love you all xxx

I needed, so badly, to hear you & see you today. I do feel safe with you... you lift me up. I'm the queen of negative self-talk & at the age of 64, I'm still struggling with that. I appreciate your gentleness and kindness. I'm interested in your idea & I'm on this journey of self-love & acceptance with you... Count me in.🍭 Thank you. 🍭

Hi Lauren , usually a silent viewer - but I had to share that I love your interactions with your mum . Her voice sounds exactly like my nans did and I miss her greatly - might be sad to admit but sometimes I close my eyes when your mum is talking and just picture my nan chatting away and it brings comfort ❤

I'm in my bed trying to pass kidney stones, but this connection to you in this video has helped me with this horrible pain. Thank you. ❤️

The plant you hadn't seen before is a Salvia Hot Lips. The plant starts out red and slowly the flowers turn white throughout the season. ☺💋

I dont hink you give yourself credit my darlin ...im 57 and have my whole life been negitive towards my self ...i can tell everybody else the most positive uplifting things but cant do it to myself ..i lost my partnet b4 xmas and found you !! Love your content and love seeing u be confidant 😊

I haven’t stretched in years. Thank you Lauren for leading this beautiful moment. You’re wonderful human Being x

Lauren, I’m just 11.36 in, tears streaming down my cheeks. I feel so low, so alone at the moment. What you just said resonated with me, I have an injured knee after a fall in 2019 it’s led to so many huge issues I am dealing with right now - pretty similar to yours but with the added issue that I can barely walk, let alone, sit on the floor and stretch. I feel lost at the moment and would like to give up but too many people would be hurt if I did. I’m going to try and watch the rest of your vlog because unequivocally it makes me feel better. I might come back and comment again when I have xxx

I want you to know that I immediately ordered a yoga mat for home use as I was watching this. Thank you Lauren ❤

Lauren I don't know if you will read this, but thank you for this vlog, I cried so much as all I do is beat up on myself. I keep thinking about killing myself every day, as I don't think I'm worth it to anyone. I've lost 66kgs but still hate myself so much. I've been so sick for 0ver 9 months in and put of hospital and now I'm trying to find a job life is so hard right now and you keep me going. How you tell us to be kind to ourselves, it's so hard to quiet your own thoughts down. Just wanted to say thank you for being you. Love you heaps 💙 😘

Such a beautiful soul. I can so relate to being my biggest bully, it almost is a self defence thing. Being the worse to myself feels like anyone else wouldn't be able to hurt me because I got in there first. Loved the little mantras

Good luck to you and everyone trying to get by in todays body critical society. I am 70 years old and have been a biggy all my life. Now at peace with myself thanks to books and music and a few incredibly supportive friends.

This video was great. I could really relate to it and the “I’m doing the best I can right now”, and “I deserve to be loved as I am right now” quotes hit hard. I heard them. Thank you for sharing your vulnerabilities because we all have them and you let me feel less alone and less judged by just being you, as you are, makeup or not! You are the joy however you show up so thank you again 🥰🍭

Lauren, im on a bus 😂 I cried with you, you speak for so many of us who are "doing the best we can right now" thank you x

That should be a mantra "I'm washed and I've got a bra on, what more do you want" 😁❤️❤️ I'm really struggling with my weight and mobility I have fibromyalgia and arthritis and walking hurts so much, when you're always told to lose weight that will help, doesn't help when you weren't always over weight but illness changed that, but no body gets that

Lauren, the life you were out there living while not on that mat. The friends you traveled with, the swimming, the journeys you went on physically and mentally! You are doing the best you can. We are doing it! That’s what matters most. Much love from Sheffield.

Hi Lauren… yet another fantastic vlog. This one really moved me to tears 😢I’m a 55 year old lady who hates her body. I’ve had years of self loath I suppose.. diet after diet etc. watching you has given me something to think about…. Learning to love myself for who I am. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Keep doing what you’re doing young lady… your amazing 🤗🩷xx

So, I came to bed and had completely forgotten that it was Tuesday..then I remembered..yay! It’s Tuesday..Lauren..❤️

I don’t know how many times I watch and don’t realise how high my shoulders are clenched or that I haven’t taken a pause and the “take a deep breath”is always a good reminder to do so. Xx

I got a bit emotional when you walked us through the affirmations. I think that’s the first time I’ve told myself I am worthy. Thank you 🩷

🍭🍭🍭 think this is just a lollipop.🌈 but here's a rainbow. Love you Lauren you cool cat. xxx

I really needed to see this today 😢. I've not been kind to others or myself (verbally) lately. Thank you Lauren x.

Every one of the prints are lovely

I can't even start to put into words how amazing you are. I do feel safe watching your videos and your words and positive messages always help me a lot. Thank you, Lauren 🤍 you are a precious soul!

Thank you for inspiring me to also use my mat which I've had for four years and never used. Along with my exercise bike, rowing machine, rebounder, stepper and a whole array of other exercise equipment 😂 What is life hey ❤ Much love xxx

🍭 Happy Belated Birthday to your mum, I love the relationship you both have, I had the same with my late mum, I lost her almost 15 yrs ago suddenly when she was just 52. Sorry you have been suffering so bad with anxiety, thank you for sharing your life with us even through your most vulnerable times. You are an amazing person, and I really look forward to seeing you every week!! 😊

Stretching and then a walk is something I do to feel good and help me maintain my weight loss. I too am a recovering perfectionist. Your awareness of the power of positive energy and kindness has inspired me to let go of my negative thoughts. It is hard as I want to hold on to being right all the time. Love your voice and humor and happy you know how to be free.❤

ooo this one got me. powerful beauty in your stillness and connection. more please. you are safe and you are LOVED xxx

That kid crying out whilst you were stretching had me in stitches 😂. I thought it was a cat at first 😂

Lauren!! I am watching you on your mat doing the exercises- you make me feel so emotional-sending you a hug - you are a gorgeous person- I have been a plus size and I had to change me for me not for anyone else - I struggled to do so many things and getting old now I knew I had to do something to make me happy - and make me fit enough to get about - I don’t and have never listened to anyone discussing how a woman should look - we are all individual- don’t let anyone get you down gorg ❤

Happy birthday to your lovely mom!! You may not ever see this comment but I wanted to tell you that your videos are like therapy to me! You speak my language! Thank you 😊

Needed this today. Your affirmations made me 😢. I need to be kinder to myself too. ❤

Yes! While watching I thought you should do a body series for people like me who struggle to move their bodies and feel the pressure

Hadn’t thought of it this way before but like you I have disassociated from my body for sooooo long - also put on a huge amount of weight that has limited my life for sure … because I judge myself so harshly for being so big. So thank you for this. I struggle to get onto my yoga mat too …. But will try each day to do it and if I can’t then I’m not a terrible person ❤❤

Great video Lauren, thank you.

Loved your lil meditation kinda thing, thank you ❤❤

Happy birthday to your wonderful mom!! 🎉 🎁

Hello Lauren….i think you are absolutely awesome….I am a lot older than you….and only wish I had,had your wonderful insight at your age….keep doing what you do….Sending love and positive thoughts from NZ.💓xx

I can't wait to see what Christmas carvings you do... Imagine the wrapping paper you could make

Not sure why, but when you said "You are safe, and you are loved" I burst out in tears. I guess I needed that. You are loved too, Lauren, more than you know. Thank you ❤

Yay! It's Lauren time 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Loved this weeks vlog so so much! Those deep breaths and affirmations were just what I needed today when my anxiety has been sky high - so thank you 😘 I would love more content like that or similar where we can all connect with our bodies. Sending love 🍭

You are so lovely. Thank you for being you! 💚

Not me feeling guilty(which I shouldn’t) for calling off of work for a mental health day and end up crying while doing breathing exercises along with you. The tears started when I said I’m worth of a happy life.

Yes on Chappel Roan!!! I've been obsessed with her for a couple of years now..I'm so happy that she's making it to the main stream! If I were 40 years younger, I would truly be obsessed!!! And thank you for being so transparent!! We all are absolutely doing our best!!! Thank you!! xo 😂🍭

Thankyou beautiful girl for that stunning vlog!!! So appreciated 🌻☀️🌻

I just watched your video today, and I got down on the floor and stretched with you, Lauren....first stretches I've done in God knows how long....and I got super emotional, which was surprising. Your affirmations were golden, and obviously very much needed. I think a lot of us would love to do that with you on a regular basis. Perhaps you've stumbled onto your true calling...."Work it like Lauren?" 🍭

Marisa Peer is fantastic to listen to if anyone hear is struggling and also talks negative toward themselves like I have been doing.

Only 5 minutes in and loving all the walking around and the views and stuff! Thanks Lauren, much love xx

Welcome from an early adopter of Pink Pony Club! Loved the art section of this video, you’ve made me want to have a go!

Lauren I have cried so hard watching this episode. When you said this is a safe place it just made me ball I wake up everyday thinking of losing weight I need surgery so badly on a huge hernia an both knees replaced. I can’t get on the floor or walk . Thank you because I feel so alone in this . Love Tina

all beautiful prints, love the mixed colour one xx

Hello Lauren isn't it lovely just to enjoy being yourself and relishing your life whatever you are doing. It's a gift. Love to you xxx

Thank you Lauren, I love your vlogs. I love seeing snippets of your days, your honesty and especially love seeing your art. Xx 🍭🌈

I'm so glad I found you, those words at the yoga time I needed so much, thank you x

Funny you should mention it… when we were having that Mindful Mat Moment (!) I thought that I’d love more of those to put on and join you. I loved how accepting / non-judgmental & achievable it felt. As you said, I’m disconnected from my body plus any chance to breathe & focus is great. I was going to comment asking for more, but thought it might put pressure on you. So if *you feel* like doing more, that would be great, Thank You Please 😁 🍭 x

As a yoga teacher I'm just here to tell you that your meditation, breathwork and yoga instructions were absolutely on point! A natural. ❤

im here fighting my reflux disease feeling miserable and this video helped me a lot. Thank you Lauren.

Yes! I want a breathing stretching series! The instant I heard you doing deep breaths and talking about your yoga mat, I pulled my mat out too and replayed that whole part of the video. I was going to comment that you should do a whole series before you even said about it in the video. 😊

A very personal video. Thank you for sharing and inspiring us. Sending love xxx

I had another not so good day today, then I came to bed and found this video and it was like putting on my sofa comfy dressing gown. I just think you are amazing and you always make me feel so much better. I love your videos, they always lift me, thanks again Lauren xxx

Lauren you are amazing and I love watching you every week. Keep being you and remember you an amazing, lovely, beautiful person ❤xxx

Yay Lauren is on!! ❤️. 🍭 I resonate with everything you say…so glad I get to spend time with you . 😊

Thank you so much, I have just done a few stretches and the breathing, words with you. 👍😊🫂 Xx

The plant you saw on your walk is called 'hot lips' in spring its all red flowers the more sun they get they change to red and white and now I've started getting all white ones coming through, a plant we've inherited in our new house garden and its one we are keeping as its so pretty and the bee's love it xx

Scrumble nutty for me, however they all sound incredible. Belated Happy Birthday to your lovely mum! Great vlog, just what I needed ❤ thank you! Hugs to you Lauren X🌈🍭

The Monty Bojangles truffles are THE BEST! Flutterscotch and the Raspberry one are my faves. Hard relate on the 'editing Lauren' part, I went from a fitness freak to regaining almost all the weight and now having problems with my feet as a result of what I put myself through with overexercising so I can't do what I used to. I try not to bully myself, but it's so hard when society tells us we shouldn't exist in our bodies. Sending love ❤

I always watch ypur videos while doing cardio at the gym. It's usually the hardest for me, because just like you said, the negative thought cycle is the strongest then and this video really helped. Made it through Lollipop❤

I am 4 months postpartum and the amount of stress and negative self talk I do to myself because of my weight gain is so intense. Thank you for opening my eyes and letting me know that everything is fine and I am great how I am. Its so sad that everybody around me bodyshames me in different ways. I wish everybody would talk like you to me🧡

Love you! We don't compare Chappell to Taylor. I loved that pink grey carving you did

Your mum’s balloon is adorable ❤️

I am watching you on the tv from California but commenting with the iPad, the better to see you my dear😊

Thank you for this video I’ve been feeling very similar for a while now. I joined in with the stretching and feel better for it. I look forward to your videos every week they always make me smile. Sending a big hug for when you need one 😊. Xx

The pretty red and white flowering plant is a Hot Lips Salvia. I love mine. Every morning when I get up and am fully awake, I do yin yoga with Sarah J Collins. It's my sacred time. NO SHOES :). I just love it. Her 21 day challenge average 20-25 minutes a day and her commentary is precious. Highly recommend.

I would love to be able to love my body I'm 36 and I'm a big girl ive gave birth to 5 children ages 21, 19, 18, 14 and 11 and let myself go completely, I just want to love me like my hubby and kids love me I feel stupid saying this, love watching you Lauren 💞

From across the pond, I look forward to your posts. You brighten my day. ☺ 🌈🍭

I'm a flutterscotch!? haha! Happy Birthday 'mum'! 😂🍭🍭

I need this in my life ...8v a broken back and haven't got a clue how to stretch safely. take a beep breath and blow out i did it ..thanks love ur videos stay strong hun 💗

Sometimes I watch your videos in the gym, because I really hate cardio, and I need something comforting and positive and entertaining to take my mind off it while I'm doing it, and your videos always make me feel better ♥

I think you are doing so well Lauren keep looking after yourself 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 your skin looks great too!

I loved this Lauren, I’ve just moved to the UK from New Zealand. 6 years of counselling weight issues due to trauma I was called by my soul to come home to the lands of my ancestors. Your videos give me courage to move forward and continue my journey. Thank you for being you.💕

Loved your rose prints! So glad you shared your birthday visit to your mum! 🍭😂❤

Scoffychoccy for me! Loved the balloon. Those are nice treats for your mum to, the waffles, cream, etc. Plus the handmade card. Sorry you were struggling on saturday. It's so hard when you can't make your mind stop. Loved the comment "I'm washed and wearing a bra." Pure Lauren, so good. I was eating tea when I watched, so I was not able to do the stretches with you, but I may replay and do so at my leisure.i did, however, do the mantra. ❤ 🌈 🍭 Hello to Emma.

Love your paintings Lauren my daughter Jade used to do them in her art class at school. I did some of the stretches as I am trying to be more flexible and I am going to try and do them everyday also the deep breathing is good. Tu at Sainsbury’s do some lovely clothes I always have a look when we go. I think you are so kind and helpful to us followers Lauren I love watching your vlogs, tell your Mum I would love the Praline chocolate as that is always my favourite but they all sound amazing I hope she had a wonderful day xx

That plant was a Salvia “Hot Lips” and it smells lovely too. I was excited to see you in Baker Street, I work there and would have been beyond excited to see you in the tube! Love your videos Lauren, thank you x

What a fun vlog! I've been walking in the mornings and going a little farther each day!

A bit of self love, I’m a fan of Katie brindle, and the gu sha is addictive, and as she says you don’t need the tools you can tap with your hands. And for one minute a day it’s doable and enjoyable. Lauren well done you for getting on the floor, impressed. For me HT PHYSIO Will Harlow, i do five mins of his chair exercises and feel such a difference. So enjoyed the video, thank you.

Thank you ❣️🐨🇦🇺

Happy Birthday Irene, did you have a birthday game of mastermind? Your daughter is fab!! 🍭🍭🍭 lots of love X

I feel like you’re a long distance friend. You are loved, God bless💖💖

Lollipop, hope you are enjoying your summer Lauren 🌞 and I enjoyed your stretches and deep breathing. I'm definitely going to practice staying positive about myself.😂🍭

I would love for you to do separate videos just about positive body talk, abit like you did in this video, I found it really enlightening, I've always struggled with negative self talk about my body, and I'm on a journey to body neutrality 😂 and I don't know what it is about you, maybe because we are a similar body time?, personality? Or maybe just the fact that we both have red hair but I relate to you alot and I feel how you feel sometimes, so yes please do like self care videos ❤

Great video, you are absolutely spot on in so many things you’ve talked about today. Sooo many of us relate. ❤🌈🍭

I would like more sitting with, being in our bodies. I sometimes find it easier to do this for myself when I see someone else being ok to be in their own body and in touch with it.

❤ You are truly Amazing 😊Thank you for always being so real ❤️ Needed to hear that

You would make a wonderful mindfulness practitioner. I could listen to you talk for hours xx
