The First Time…..

Watching a new member walk into a meeting room sometimes reminds me of a doctors waiting room, you look nervous, apprehensive, worried, positively sick, especially if it is your first time here…

So possibly just like going to the doctors you put off coming here… hopefully you can lose weight on own??

Luckily – you made your mind up to get treated by people who have been where you are, know how it feels and have years of experience supporting and guiding you to a healthier way of life, bit the bullet and joined us.

After a painless examination of your weight and a one to one chat, you are diagnosed and part of a fun, informative and lively meeting and ready to embark on your fantastic, healthy journey.

Will it be life changing? Yes it will, will it be painful? Not at all, Will it be worth it? 100% Yes!!!! Picture yourself in a few months from now…………

All of the posts on this site are written from a common sense perspective and offer advice, guidance, support, motivation and practical ideas all with you in mind. Will everything apply to you, of course not, but you will usually find a little grain that touches a nerve and makes you think.

Imagine how much more you can get from your weekly meeting if you join us!! Weekly accountability, encouragement and practical solutions to virtually every challenge you may be experiencing.

How incredible would it be to never have to embark on a weight loss journey ever again! Is it possible? I for one believe it is. I could never have imagined that week after week I could make healthier choices that seem to be subconscious, no deliberation or fighting with them in my head, it’s more second nature. I know that if I can arrive at that point, so can anyone. It started with a decision that I did not want to feel the way I was, yes I dieted, yes I fell off the weight-loss wagon many times, but I persisted as the option to go backwards was an unbearable choice, and not what I wanted.

All too often, when the going get’s tough, we give up. Instead take some time to consider exactly what you are giving up on! Sadly, this is a journey that is for life, it’s so very sad to see someone who has done so well, no longer willing or able to keep coming, they give up and are soon back to the start, if not heavier!!

  • Better health
  • Increased mobility
  • More self confidence
  • Happier
  • Improved sleep
  • Less medication
  • More freedom to choose the clothes you want to wear, rather than have to wear!

Life is all about choices. Some we have to make, some we can choose to make. Taking control of what you eat and drink will have a massive impact on your positivity, and when you feel more positive, it’s easier to continue to make those healthier choices.

The first step towards getting somewhere is to decide you’re going to stay where you are.

  1. I am so so glad I started on this journey without the constant help and support of Jackie and her team and everyone at the meetings I would be were I am today. For that I am truly grateful. Yes I too have fell off the wagon but got myself back up and refocused on what I wanted to achieve. The meetings are always helpful and friendly and if not at time we all have a laugh so makes you feel so relaxed. 😊

  2. My first time was 22 years ago and apart from a four year break around 2010/2014 (a big mistake) I’ve been coming ever since. I had tried everything before I came and it didn’t work, but coming to Jackie was a revelation.

  3. This resonates with me so much – I’m gearing up for another “first time” and I feel just as it describes at the beginning of this post but I also know that I can’t do it alone and I can do it with the support of Jackie and the group. So……I’ll see you tomorrow!
