Ive been suspecting that I have ADHD. The lack of organisation, the binging, the impulsiveness, never finishing things. It’s really depressing so I’m glad you are so positive after your diagnosis and treatment. Inshallah I’m going to do the same. Please keep speaking about it on your platform, it’s so encouraging ❤
Dina, I want to commend you for your willingness to be vulnerable, sensible, reasonable, and understanding of yourself and your audience. Also, the time and mental energy it takes for you to engage in this talk. It’s so encouraging and inspiring to see you grow and expand in areas of your interest, you’ve introduced your audience to so many fields of knowledge that I’m sure lots of us haven’t been familiar with. However, I just want to say something that someone who may come across this comment can benefit from. As a fellow INFJ, it’s not my intention to diminish the crucial importance of mental health and self-care, it’s hard work and it’s commendable when one sets out on a journey within. With that being said, it’s important to remember that once you find yourself in this space of questioning where does x, y, or z behavior, habit, or thought comes from, it’s extremely important to remember that your mind and your thoughts are not you, you have the capacity to watch your mind and you don’t have to identify with everything your mind produces. For thoughts can be byproducts of plethora of things, you’ve got to be selective with them. It’s enlightening to get to know yourself better, there’s no doubt about it, however excessive identification with diagnoses or certain issues to the point that it develops an identity of its own can be detrimental and can make you stay in the therapeutic environment for longer than you need turning it into something toxic. Mind can play games and produce excuses for certain behaviors which you do have the power to control, but due to this obsessive identification with new personality, it gives you a pass because you’re x, y, or z. The more roles you take on, the bigger the justifications can arise. I am not speaking on this with a negative intent, I am feeling the urge to warn others because this is something I’ve battled with during my long time in therapy, diagnosis with cptsd, gad, and possible underdiagnosed bpd. These labels can make you an asshole, it did that to me, so the sooner you catch your mind playing those tricks on you, the better it is for you to reinvent yourself and divorce yourself from certain labels that once served you an a source of self-understanding and may now be your weapons for self-destruction. You are what you believe in, when you watch your mind and feed it with what you want it to produce later on for the betterment of your whole being, it will do so. I’d highly recommend the following books (if you’re interested): The Power of Now by Eckhard Tolle, The Untethered Soul by Michael Singer - the end is disappointing because he ties all mental work to religion, but if you can disregard that this book offers a lot of clarity, The Book of Secrets by Deepak Chopra, When The Body Says No by Dr Gabor Mate - look up his videos too, he’s such an enlightening soul, and 12 Rules For Life by Jordan Peterson, When Things Fall Apart by Pema Chodron. Keep in mind that these aren’t Muslim writers, but what they refer to as various things is boiled down to nafs; we don’t have to buy into their terminology for us to make sense of it… just saying 🤷♀️ and if you want to understand emotions, read David Whyte’s Consolations - SO beautifully written! 😊 ok, I’m done. Peace out!
hi Dina, i’m so grateful you speak about ADHD, it’s interesting, helpful, i feel understood because i feel a lot of the things you talked about. i replayed some parts a few times, like when you talked about how your doctor explained about treatment, how it creates habits ( it made me cry, happy cry, it gives me hope). i was diagnosed as adult one year ago. in my country, Romania, there are just 2 meds aproved for adult adhd , one is Strattera , tried to take it, it doesn’t work, it gaves me very bad anxiety, very weird kind of fear. so your experience gave me hope for a better life and fight for a better treatment. GET HEALTHY SOON, ( from Covid) live your best life , love your videos, love you loads, wish you all the best
For me being genuine is having contradictions and changing, and you are indeed genuine and down to earth and i think most people will agree with this cause this is the way you come out to us,at least thats how i see it!! And i LOVE it:) 💕 Thanks dina xxxx
Omg I’m so happy for u 🎉 congrats with your certification ✨ Can’t wait for those workout videos. Maybe I can start my own fitness journey before new year arrives.
Congratulations 🥳 Dina ! You are amazing and such an awesome role model, I’ve just lost 5 stone so getting ideas 💡 for fitness from your workouts is so great! More vids on this please 🙏
Dina, I rarely comment on yt but needed to let you know that you're the only vlogger I follow because I relate with you deeply as 33yo mom of two, as a Muslim woman who struggled with hijab in her 20s, follows modest fashion, and is now wanting to take up teaching yoga but is petrified because of anxiety and other mental issues. Wish you and myself peace and happiness.
@@aayjay89 hijab don't make you ugly it's the way you look to your self it come from inside you don't matter what you wear , hijab is an order from Allah for the women is a must
@@aayjay89 true they are not angles but when u take a deeper look about the purpose of creation , why Allah want us to fallow and why he put us in a hard time , tuff exams , sarrow , lose of material or even people we love , take away or delay our deep wishes it's all to see how we behave do we still pray and trust him do we still believe in him and his presence do we go back to him with open heart and ask him to make our days easy he is watching each and everyone of us, once you believe blindly your attachment to God will more than what people think about u one thing have changed my life is reading Quran daily with tafseer and study more about Islam try it , it can help you and many others who feel they need answers or light have a great day
Yes, workout videos. Yes, portrait style is my preferred viewing style for workouts. Yes to the 6 -week program paired with a dedicated social page for chats, and periodic live workouts.
Binge eating is correlated with adhd. I was diagnosed with both a month ago and the meds have done the same for me. I agree that the impulse control that the meds allow definitely helps with knowing when to stop eating and when to start.
Honestly Dina, I think you've been teaching all of us online plenty over the years. Maybe, the fact that you need to qualify to teach kettlebells is what made you nervous, and that's understandable. But I'm not at all surprised that you ended up doing well on the teaching aspect. MashAllah for your pass! Looking forward to learning from and with you as you begin sharing that aspect of your journey more with us!
I love these catch-up videos! I’m glad you're doing in terms of health and career! Regarding the fitness videos, I personally think a UA-cam subscription would be a great start! Your day one's followers are here, and it doesn’t require as much effort compared to downloading and keeping up with another app among all the other apps ❤
Congratulations Dina! There’s nothing more satisfying than finding something you truly enjoy. Also, could you please try and do a low impact kettlebell workout at some point, as I have pcos and it would be great to incorporate a pcos friendly kettlebell workout into my routine 😊
Really want to get into fitness but am unable to find motivation by myself. I keep starting and quitting, I am very excited to join whatever subscription you'll have as I feel that I can relate to you so much that having you teach would motivate me to keep going 💪🏻
I like the UA-cam subscription idea and also the app idea, I would definitely subscribe any of those, can't wait for whatever you decide to do with it ✨💕🤠💪🏼🤸🏽♀️🦕
I love your long and rambly videos cuz I have adhd myself and when I check out of videos and loose focus I can still come back and get back into the topic and know what's going on because you were rambling yourself 😅 I have my diagnosis but I still feel like I might be an imposter and just be a lazy bum because I rarely have hyperfoci that make me invest loads of time into one topic. My all or nothing mentality always wins over the little drive I might have to get into new interests
High pulls with a kettlebell or dumbbells are quite effective for the traps as long as you keep your elbows above your hands and keep the weight close to your body
You could do series and episode for the kettle bell workout. I would love to learn. You could have beginners classes from how to train your body to when u start using kettle bells and carry on like that. Also open an online workshop for those who want to learn kettle bells to become a personal trainer 😉
Mabrook on the certification. I am on 50 mg Vyvanse also for around 10 years. I know… it’s a long time. But since I have not had any BP or EKG issues, my shrink feels it’s safe. And, again I’m kicking ass in my career. However, my husband is retiring soon and we will be relocating from US to Morocco and they only have Straterra available in Morocco so my shrink will be doing a washout of Vyvanse and moving to the non-amphetamine drug. But, since I’m too young to retire, I will be moving yo my companies EU/Asia team so perhaps I can stay on the Vyvanse and just get it in EU when I do audits there. 🤷🏻♀️
I should add that, yes, I’m not hungry since I’ve been on Vyvanse and I did lose weight at first but 10 years later on these meds I’m 50 pounds overweight. So, all of the “experts” commenting on here, tell me why? (Joking I know why).
Thank you for sharing that you potentially might be on the spectrum somewhere. I’ve felt great shame as a woman in early 30s being diagnosed just now. It makes me feel less alone and less ashamed. I still don’t want to tell people around me, and you saying that so openly has made me reconsider how much I hide this from others. It’s exhausting being afraid of others knowing that I’m on the spectrum. Somehow these days friends and acquaintances are so open about being ADHD, but nobody is yet coming forward about being on the spectrum. There’s still some taboo there.
Congratulations Dina on your certification, a lot of hard work to get there. I think you already have great video ideas! Maybe just focus on beginner or no weights type of workouts cause I assume most of your audience isnt as well versed with kettlebells, as you get more comfortable creating this type of content in the future you can start adding more advanced, or longer workout videos.
It absolutely is the ADHD. I think i am ADHD but can't afford an assessment and i'm not deemed as "bad enough" according to the assessment centre in cardiff i went to. But i've struggled with binge eating my whole life. I got up to 19 stone at one point. Realising that i am adhd and that binge eating is a "reward seeking (aka dopamine chasing)" behaviour makes total sense to me. It's the same with all impulsive behaviours. I've got into finanical difficulty before now because of impulsive spending too. If the Elvanse takes away the need to chase dopamine then you will be able to deal with impulsivity much better. I would love to know how that feels!
If you're in the UK, as your GP to refer you under "right to choose" to Psychiatry UK, the waiting list is long, but at least you may be able to get your diagnosis and free
You’re so easy to like Dina. I love your passion and enthusiasm, your enthusiasm and energy. You’re a great role model and hilariously funny, even when you’re not trying to be. Just so you know, I’m old enough to be your mother. 💕 I’ve commented on a few of your most recent videos, they’re about the same topic and that’s your recent weight loss. Habibti, you’re becoming gaunt and I don’t see the usual sparkle in your face and eyes. You’re starting to develop folds either side of your nose because of the loss of soft tissue. I know that most medication for ADHD affect appetite negatively and weight loss can happen. Ya binti, take more care of yourself. Eat healthy fats and more of them. My comment’s coming from a loving heart, I don’t want offend you. Bouseht habibti w ma’assalama. 💕💕
I was diagnosed as an adult also. I do ask my Mom about this and she said back in the days when I was a child, they didn’t have ADD, it was just hyperactivity and the only medication was a Ritalin type which has horrid side effects especially on a child. In todays times they have improved the medications. My eldest son is about Dina’s age and he was diagnosed as a child but I chose not to have him on medications due to the side effects.
Can you talk about how you actually got diagnose, meaning the process. For example, I know you were trying to see a therapist through better help but that wasn’t working for you. And you were frustrated with the uk healthcare system in terms of seeing a provider. Did you end up going private practice and then go to a psychiatrist? Do you still plan to see a psychologist to help you build habits or what?
hello dina and how your day going and have you thought about live streaming on twitch and starting your own podcast and starting your own vlog channel on youtube and starting your own tiktok account and starting your own discord account and starting your own patreon account or onlyfans account in the future
they also help with impulse control which people with ADHD struggle with and it is moer the lack of impulse control that leads to bingeing as opposed to appetite
I know ppl grow and change its totally fine fitness is part of yourself👍🏼 I'm trying to be gentle not blunt. So excuse me if I'm bad at it. I watched and subbed years ago for beauty, fashion, travel, homelife,motherhood, your beautiful personality and marriage to hilarious Sid. Im not from the UK so even outside home scenery was great. However, all this fitness has consumed your channel its starting to feel un-relatable(and I workout too). Also, mostly all PTs wear clothes to show and inspire. So students can actually see the results for what your doing and what your teaching them. How will you go about showing results? I'm not saying to change your modesty at all. I just am lost and kinda sad about the new direction of your content. Wishing you all the best. I wont unsub your too awesome. I guess I'm just tuning out now😔😔✌🏽💜
she's a woman in her 30ies who lost a bunch of weight, that's how you look without filters or make up. even younger people lol. yall need to look at something else than IG for a change
No that’s what you look like when you are restrictive calorie counting/eating disorder or barely eating. I’m older than her and I do not look like a burnt cigarette. This woman has turned into Kate moss (nothing tastes as good as being skinny). However it’s her obsession her life etc.
@@07naina if she'd always been that skinny noone would even comment on it. you could be overweight and lose to a normal weight and people will still tell you that you don't look healthy anymore. it's crazy, as soon as a face thins out people make this sh*t comments. dina looks great and she was chilling at home and sick at the moment of filming. she still looks good, just a bit tired. as most women do or get commented on if they don't wear make up btw. i can't hear nonsense comments like this anymore honestly.
All i heard is “I this I that.. ME ME ME” Reminds me Sylvia Plath’s quote: ‘I took a deep breath and listened to the old brag of my heart. I am, I am, I am’ - The Bell Jar
I'm all for your fitness progression for your own passion and development. It's great and something many women can relate to I.e. becoming their best physical/health version of themselves post children. In terms of teaching.. I find this a little difficult to digest. You've been very transparent about suffering from disordered eating/ binge eating / body dysmoprhia for as long as you have been on multiple platforms , even very recent vlogs. So personally for me I'd find it contradictory and mentally and physically dangerous waters to train with a trainer or certified person where those complex issues are a part of their journey. Not tainting your progress merely discussing/reflecting since you are starting to promote/market teaching/trainer/app/youtube subscribtions all based around fitness. Fitness is so much more than physical strength/ability.. eating and mental health all go hand in hand as health is holistic. To know say adhd medication cured this conveniently just all seems very odd. Odd because you self diagnosed eating issues concerns you had for yourself for10 years very publically and many of your audience at that time would say oh your content is helpful relatable etc only to turn around now question if u even ever had one..clearly the narrative of disordered eating doesn't fit a PT. you mentioned the word disingenuous yourself on this vlog, I would say I agree with you that is exactly how this comes across. I get everyone needs to make an income and that you've found a passion and like to help people on their fitness journey, not questioning your intentions but the ethics behind stronger with dina is definitely questionable.
do you think personal trainers all have zero issues with their bodies, mental health, and none have had disorded eating? As long as she is careful with how she comes across having an ED past does not mean she can't be a trainer. ALSO, ADHD very much deals with lack of impulse control. There are other people who have had binge disorders who ADHD meds have helped them with that issue a LOT. What is binge eating if not lack of self control when eating? I'd urge you to look up Kimberly Nicole Foster's video "4 months ago, I got on Adderall" she talks about how the meds helped her binge disorder
@@NeonKodiak I'm sure you are correct in your assumptions re: other trainers and personal body struggles. However as I've followed and subscribed to Dina from her very first vlog over 10 years ago i was interested in her journey and can only comment on what i am viewing therefore cant coment on the potentiality of what other fitness bloggers may or may not have. Dina has been very public and transparent about disordered eating and only recently started her adhd journey/meds I just personally found it too soon to start marketing her app that's all. As she said her self she may come across as insincere her words not mine and i agree with her.She asks her viewers for "what they think" and that's my view in response to her life updates and plans to step into the trainee market.
Dina do challenges… E.g 4-6 weeks summer/spring/autumn/ winter challenges… where women sign up and pay to participate in the challenge, start date is set where everyone starts the workouts together, it should be sold as files with weekly workouts … you’d do an exclusive group (WhatsApp/Instagram) with the ladies so that they can ask you questions and motivate one another …
Ive been suspecting that I have ADHD. The lack of organisation, the binging, the impulsiveness, never finishing things. It’s really depressing so I’m glad you are so positive after your diagnosis and treatment. Inshallah I’m going to do the same. Please keep speaking about it on your platform, it’s so encouraging ❤
Congratulations on your certification, such a huge achievement!!! Yes please to the workout videos, especially anything for beginners. You rock, Dina!
Dina, I want to commend you for your willingness to be vulnerable, sensible, reasonable, and understanding of yourself and your audience. Also, the time and mental energy it takes for you to engage in this talk.
It’s so encouraging and inspiring to see you grow and expand in areas of your interest, you’ve introduced your audience to so many fields of knowledge that I’m sure lots of us haven’t been familiar with.
However, I just want to say something that someone who may come across this comment can benefit from.

You are what you believe in, when you watch your mind and feed it with what you want it to produce later on for the betterment of your whole being, it will do so.

SOOO HAPPYYYY that you did your certificate!! Soo inspiring😭❤️❤️❤️❤️☹️
Congrats Dina on your RKC certification. Well done! Would love to see a full body workout for beginners with no equipment in landscape mode! x
Congratulations Dina! There’s nothing more satisfying than finding something you truly enjoy. Also, could you please try and do a low impact kettlebell workout at some point, as I have pcos and it would be great to incorporate a pcos friendly kettlebell workout into my routine 😊
Congrats Dina, so well deserved👏🏾👏🏾 Hope you'll feel better soon! As for the workout video: landscape is better for desktop and phone view I think.
Ok then Coach Dina!!! 🎊 🎉 I need to get back into the swing of things so I’d love a beginner video!!!
Yayy so happy, I’ll start my journey with u ❤
YES to the workout plan or app or anything from you would love it !!!!
This was such a lovely cozy chat.
Really want to get into fitness but am unable to find motivation by myself. I keep starting and quitting, I am very excited to join whatever subscription you'll have as I feel that I can relate to you so much that having you teach would motivate me to keep going 💪🏻
Love the idea of the beginner video!
Where are your boots from? Loved this vid! Always nice seeing these long updates. Like having a coffee catch up with a friend ❤
Alsoooo I’m so proud of your achievements and plans for the future but can you do some house inspo stuff too! Would love some tips xx
Best notification 💘
Do you feel different after the meds? How? Any side effects? Thanks for sharing Dina
Wowhooo portrait pleaseee!!! Can't wait
Congrats on your certificate and thank you or sharing about your adhd. Looking forward to the dumbell workouts - landscape would be preferable! :)
Yes to the fitness content!
I like the UA-cam subscription idea and also the app idea, I would definitely subscribe any of those, can't wait for whatever you decide to do with it ✨💕🤠💪🏼🤸🏽♀️🦕

Proud of u🥰!! It's never too late🙌🏼💫! 20:18 25/10 tue😊💛💕
Please do a live workout 🙏 any type- bodyweight, kettlebell
Definitely feel the UA-cam subscription is better! Fitness apps are saturated in the market and would cost more
Yes I have adhd and I binge eat… it’s basically your addiction to dopamine
Pls landscape for workouts ❤

My comment’s coming from a loving heart, I don’t want offend you. Bouseht habibti w ma’assalama. 💕💕
Maybe do a vote with all those suggestions
Need to ask how ADHD was missed as a child growing up? Did your parents not pick it up in early teens?
I was diagnosed as an adult also. I do ask my Mom about this and she said back in the days when I was a child, they didn’t have ADD, it was just hyperactivity and the only medication was a Ritalin type which has horrid side effects especially on a child. In todays times they have improved the medications. My eldest son is about Dina’s age and he was diagnosed as a child but I chose not to have him on medications due to the side effects.
Do food videos, do videos with toosie, these are a lot of fun!
I much prefer landscape videos. That way I can see more of the video.
Can you talk about how you actually got diagnose, meaning the process. For example, I know you were trying to see a therapist through better help but that wasn’t working for you. And you were frustrated with the uk healthcare system in terms of seeing a provider. Did you end up going private practice and then go to a psychiatrist? Do you still plan to see a psychologist to help you build habits or what?
*seeing a therapist through better help for help with binge eating
The app might cost more plus the planning with it
youtube paid subscribtions are not available worldwide, i qatar i cant do that 🤷🏻
💕💕💕💕
Could you not do a online course which people could attend online and complete the workouts? Just a suggestion
I am not at all interested in workouts or the food thing so I won’t watch any of that or do the app but good luck I’ll watch the lifestyle videos ❤

UA-cam submitted would work for me👍🏻
hello dina and how your day going and have you thought about live streaming on twitch and starting your own podcast and starting your own vlog channel on youtube and starting your own tiktok account and starting your own discord account and starting your own patreon account or onlyfans account in the future
No daily vlogs??
UA-cam subscriptions 💪🏼 it would be nice to have a community and get fit together ❤️
Landcape videos so i can have it on my
Any career which is focused on body image is problematic.
Omg soooo true. Never heard anyone say it so blunt and honest but I needed the reminder. Thank you.
i feel like i rely on food for the dopamine hit. people with adhd have a depletion of that chemical in the brain so it could be that?

Message Carly Rowena she did YT when she was new on here then workout stuff now a app. The UA-cam subscription a good idea
One of the side effects of ADHD meds is the loss of appetite, probably that is what you are experiencing
they also help with impulse control which people with ADHD struggle with and it is moer the lack of impulse control that leads to bingeing as opposed to appetite
I’d love an app or UA-cam subscription but I’m worried you won’t stay consistent with uploads. No judgement ❤️
I know ppl grow and change its totally fine fitness is part of yourself👍🏼
I'm trying to be gentle not blunt. So excuse me if I'm bad at it. I watched and subbed years ago for beauty, fashion, travel, homelife,motherhood, your beautiful personality and marriage to hilarious Sid. Im not from the UK so even outside home scenery was great. However, all this fitness has consumed your channel its starting to feel un-relatable(and I workout too). Also, mostly all PTs wear clothes to show and inspire. So students can actually see the results for what your doing and what your teaching them. How will you go about showing results? I'm not saying to change your modesty at all. I just am lost and kinda sad about the new direction of your content. Wishing you all the best. I wont unsub your too awesome. I guess I'm just tuning out now😔😔✌🏽💜
I agree with you totally.
Please sell modest fitness clothes ❤
Amphetamines are a bad road to go down kids...
hope you're taking care of yourself Dina...... I know you're working out a lot more now but your face looks gaunt and you look super tired :(
she's a woman in her 30ies who lost a bunch of weight, that's how you look without filters or make up. even younger people lol. yall need to look at something else than IG for a change
@@meladversity agree… it happens to me and I’m way older than Dina
No that’s what you look like when you are restrictive calorie counting/eating disorder or barely eating. I’m older than her and I do not look like a burnt cigarette. This woman has turned into Kate moss (nothing tastes as good as being skinny). However it’s her obsession her life etc.
@@07naina if she'd always been that skinny noone would even comment on it. you could be overweight and lose to a normal weight and people will still tell you that you don't look healthy anymore. it's crazy, as soon as a face thins out people make this sh*t comments. dina looks great and she was chilling at home and sick at the moment of filming. she still looks good, just a bit tired. as most women do or get commented on if they don't wear make up btw. i can't hear nonsense comments like this anymore honestly.
@@meladversity I totally agree!! What happened to being kind and helpful?????
All i heard is “I this I that.. ME ME ME”
Reminds me Sylvia Plath’s quote: ‘I took a deep breath and listened to the old brag of my heart. I am, I am, I am’ - The Bell Jar
I mean the video is her giving an update on her life. What did you want her to talk about - your sad and pathetic life?

Haters gonna hate
Wow you are all over the place in this video.. this just gave me ADHD 😢
What a helpful comment especially towards someone who already is aware of their struggles but tries to put themselves out there anyway
put your hijab back on and stop showing off your body and training. May Allah protect you.
@@flower985 this is not judgement and is not aggressive.
@Flower okay, i dont see your point tbh.
@@flower985 okay, you can now move on.
I'm all for your fitness progression for your own passion and development. It's great and something many women can relate to I.e. becoming their best physical/health version of themselves post children. In terms of teaching.. I find this a little difficult to digest. You've been very transparent about suffering from disordered eating/ binge eating / body dysmoprhia for as long as you have been on multiple platforms , even very recent vlogs. So personally for me I'd find it contradictory and mentally and physically dangerous waters to train with a trainer or certified person where those complex issues are a part of their journey. Not tainting your progress merely discussing/reflecting since you are starting to promote/market teaching/trainer/app/youtube subscribtions all based around fitness. Fitness is so much more than physical strength/ability.. eating and mental health all go hand in hand as health is holistic. To know say adhd medication cured this conveniently just all seems very odd. Odd because you self diagnosed eating issues concerns you had for yourself for10 years very publically and many of your audience at that time would say oh your content is helpful relatable etc only to turn around now question if u even ever had one..clearly the narrative of disordered eating doesn't fit a PT. you mentioned the word disingenuous yourself on this vlog, I would say I agree with you that is exactly how this comes across. I get everyone needs to make an income and that you've found a passion and like to help people on their fitness journey, not questioning your intentions but the ethics behind stronger with dina is definitely questionable.
do you think personal trainers all have zero issues with their bodies, mental health, and none have had disorded eating? As long as she is careful with how she comes across having an ED past does not mean she can't be a trainer. ALSO, ADHD very much deals with lack of impulse control. There are other people who have had binge disorders who ADHD meds have helped them with that issue a LOT. What is binge eating if not lack of self control when eating?
I'd urge you to look up Kimberly Nicole Foster's video "4 months ago, I got on Adderall" she talks about how the meds helped her binge disorder
@@NeonKodiak I'm sure you are correct in your assumptions re: other trainers and personal body struggles. However as I've followed and subscribed to Dina from her very first vlog over 10 years ago i was interested in her journey and can only comment on what i am viewing therefore cant coment on the potentiality of what other fitness bloggers may or may not have. Dina has been very public and transparent about disordered eating and only recently started her adhd journey/meds I just personally found it too soon to start marketing her app that's all. As she said her self she may come across as insincere her words not mine and i agree with her.She asks her viewers for "what they think" and that's my view in response to her life updates and plans to step into the trainee market.
Dina do challenges… E.g 4-6 weeks summer/spring/autumn/ winter challenges… where women sign up and pay to participate in the challenge, start date is set where everyone starts the workouts together, it should be sold as files with weekly workouts … you’d do an exclusive group (WhatsApp/Instagram) with the ladies so that they can ask you questions and motivate one another …
