Last week, I spoke at the MOVE Congress 2025 in Copenhagen on Staying Active Through Life’s Changes — exploring how movement evolves across life stages and why we need systemic, inclusive approaches to support it. 💬💪

It finally happened – I was fat shamed by a fellow passenger on a plane.

Fat shaming = negative, harmful comments about body size.

It happens everywhere – hospitals, workplaces, gyms, planes.

It shouldn’t. Not to me, not to anyone. Ever.

Back in the UK and reflecting on an incredible few days at the #WeightStigmaConference in Australia.

I presented my work on weight bias in sport and was left deeply inspired by those doing incredible work in #FatLiberation.

Huge thanks to Lily O’Hara for hosting!

👀 NEW BLOG POST ALERT! 👀

In July’s post, I talk about arbitrary “fitness goals”, that have as much scientific backing behind them as coffee enemas (i.e., none), yet they persist.

And that’s a wrap on #WiSEAN2025 - I am so pleased I had the chance to attend and present at my very first @wisean.bsky.social conference 🙏🏻

It was particularly great to see such a heavy focus on the psychosocial factors that contribute to athletes’ experiences in sport (including #BodyImage 😉)

What a huge honour to present my work at the @wisean.bsky.social conference, alongside my wonderful colleague and friend Anna Goorevich from @tuckercenter.bsky.social 🥹

Amidst nutrition stalls, Ozempic and weight management talks, and a multitude of physical activity and fitness exhibits, we were given a stage at #Elevate2025, the UK’s largest physical activity trade event, to speak about #WeightStigma in the fitness industry.

Thank you Elevate for having us! 👏🏻

Did I mention, by the way, that we (@profmarkforshaw.bsky.social + @dr-katschneider.bsky.social) submitted our latest 'crisis' manuscript on Friday?

This time we've conducted a *scoping* review, one that will be touching on themes around activism and online engagement... 👀
