I’m not sure what’s worse about the new ad, her hair & make up or her commitment to diversity that’s only apparent when she’s trying to make some money.

this!!! She's so tokenistic it's unreal. I've said this loads I know but she really could use her time to promote and boost Black and Asian women PT businesses, or businesses in general but she doesn't. Instead they only matter to her when she's trying to sell shit.

But they don’t offer much protection so this conversation is irrelevant. You pretty much argued my point when you said that comment.
If they don’t offer much protection what is the point in wearing them?

To stop spreading your covid germs to other people!!

This is also one of the reasons I found the whole #getyerfaceout thing low-key judgemental/shaming of people who do wear makeup and/or use filters. I dunno, I feel like if some people do feel more confident wearing makeup/using filters then that's okay and we shouldn't harp on about it? Obviously celebrating your bare face regardless of the condition of your skin is great but some people aren't ready to do that and they shouldn't be made to feel weird about it.

Same with the 'no progress pics' thing with Lucy's guides. I completely get the idea in principle and for someone like Lucy who is already slim I can see how getting bogged down in comparing your body to a slightly leaner, fitter body could be damaging. However, it's also totally okay for people to want to see their progress as they lose weight/get fitter, share how proud they are of it or want to see the results a guide they're spending money on could give them before they buy it.

I guess that's one of the issues I have with the body positivity movement in general at times. It can veer so easily into toxic positivity. Feeling neutral or even occasionally negative about your appearance is not allowed. You have to love yourself all the time. I feel like Team Nobs really got like that the longer it went on.

Totally agree with this. Especially the last point, it’s like you wouldn’t be able to ask in the group for healthy weight loss tips if you genuinely wanted to make a change, which is so ok if you want to do that for yourself!!

Presumably Lucy has a shittonne of ££, what the fuck is this outfit?! P.s Merry Christmas, but this was just too hideous not to post

I find this as well, she comes across as she's really above it with the constant trying to be quirky but it just comes across as pretentious.

Is the new group real? Anyone know the name? I can't find it anywhere and I'm blocked on insta hahaha

It’s literally just called “nobs” on Facebook as far as I can see, it has the collegiate style logo similar to the app as the main picture.

It does seem to be exactly the same but with a ban on the n o b s word being used for anything other than Lucy’s owned page. There are a few Guides on how to conduct yourself, trigger warnings etc

I just don’t think she knows enough about either nutrition or exercise to be a fitness influencer and that showed in her posts. They were all very surface level and just talked about food freedom and eating what you like- easy for her to say as a slim person :)

I already said this earlier on but I seriously think some of the posts were just attention seeking (this isn't RE: to mental health problems or dangerous living conditions btw!!). I recall one person in particular who'd post about their bizzare issues like thrice a day to the point where it's like seriously? You again? What is it that you want? Puppy pics or a coconut kinder bueno cake ad off aldi?
I do get it though, I know exactly what it's like when you have no one else to talk to, but especially if you're from a relatively small place and you're out there describing things about your private life so in depth... It's just unsafe and not anonymous, I mean, the world is small. Perhaps it's for the best it got shut down. Although it'd make a ton more sense to delete the group altogether but that'd be bad for business I guess

I remember there would often be the same people just posting the most inane nonsense, like 'Anyone know where I can find [insert thing you can easily Google]?'

the outer arm is quite a visible place- I would have gone for the inner arm for her first one. Nothing wrong with outer arm tattoos that are nice but she’s an insipid pick me hun, that placement’s for bolder, cooler people ;)

I have SO many issues with her latest advert. Her use of WOC within it is extremely tokenistic, they are clearly there because she wants to be seen to be inclusive when you look at her life and she just isn't. But my main issue with it is that the WOC that are in the advert are all 'serving' her or are somehow 'below' her.
Examples:
1 - At the start of the advert, all the women are asleep ON LUCY. It reminds me of when the cult members would argue over who got to sleep with Charles Manson that night. She's the one who's already awake and they wake up around her, with her in the centre.
2 - When they're in the kitchen making the smoothie, it looks like they're making it FOR Lucy.
3 - At the end, all these WOC move to the side to make way for Lucy.

All of it reminds me of this cover of Vogue India, which is extremely problematic (Vogue INDIA putting a white woman in the centre of the cover with two light skinned WOC either side of her)

Also another comment on the advert was from a user who commented:
'Happy to see that you've incorporated captions, but I'm struggling to read them even at full size on a tablet because they are so small, the font isn't clear and the contrast is very variable'.

And that sums Lucy up perfect in my opinion. I know from my own job that to add subtitles etc you have to do them within certain parameters, meaning they have to be this font size and be this colour so it's inclusive and you know, actually helpful. However, Lucy won't have researched that, she will have just seen 'Oh it's the new thing to put captions on your videos so I'm going to do that to look inclusive' when in fact by not researching what is actually needed by those who use captions, she's not helped anyone !!

Lastly, what was her fucking birthday outfit. I'm starting to think her account must be satire by now. I mean, it's got to be.

I knew there was something extremely off about it, it’s this. She could have had them saying a line or two even, in between her lines, but that doesn’t happen. They’re just silent and a bit like house servants or something. It’s creepy
