Four Years….

Can you believe it!!!! 4 years ago we opened and what a wonderful 4 years it’s been……..

Looking back over the four years since we opened our face to face meetings it seems like another world! We were all coming to terms with new restrictions, but obviously concerned about the health risks. We knew you desperately needed face to face in person meetings, and we knew what we wanted our brand new business to deliver which was based very much on our experiences in the weight loss industry that building long term success was NOT about following a scripted “one size fits all diet”, but a more relaxed personal approach based on your wants and needs.

is a new and exciting chapter offering a weekly weigh in (if desired), support, inspiration, and motivation with likeminded people in a friendly meeting setting without judgement. As well as your weekly meeting you will also be supported by all social media platforms and of course right here.

Believing in yourself and changing the way you think is the key to your success. Between us we have over 64 years of experience as coaches with WW and we’ve helped thousands of people to achieve and maintain their weight loss over the years. We are passionate about helping you achieve the success you dream of and we truly believe that learning skills that can help you to change both habits and thoughts are the key to long term success.

I can’t tell you how nervous we were this time four years ago, how very unsure about the future we were:

  • Could we keep you safe?
  • Would anybody come?
  • How long could we stay open before Boris made us close?
  • Were we too old to start a new business venture?
  • Would you accept a different approach and be prepared to embrace the change.

But bless you all came and it was as if we had never been apart. It truly felt special and magical, and it’s never stopped feeling like that each and every year since!

What’s truly amazing is the success you’ve had, the new skills and tactics you’ve developed, as well as the strategies to survive any weight loss challenge successfully. Our members are coping significantly better than they ever have with special event, holidays and obviously traditional celebrations.

In fact our members have lost over 17,869 lbs, which is a magnificent 1,276 stones!!!!

However, it’s not about how much weight you lose it’s all about us all being on the weight loss wagon together. It’s not always going to be easy to stay on the weight loss wagon, most of our members have agreed in the past that the reason they fall off the weight loss wagon is OURSELVES!

There are so many benefits to staying on the weight loss wagon , most importantly that you are trying – where in the past you’ve given up. You can always try a different technique or strategy, you can get support, ideas, motivation and inspiration. BUT not if you’re not there!!

Consider the words we choose, I’ll try, or I can’t, it’s impossible, I’ll never be able to change. Remember any change is good even if it doesn’t happen all the time – if it happens once this week its once more than it’s been happening so next week it could be twice! As mentors we are so privileged and lucky to share this incredible journey with our wonderful members, to share the good times and the bad, but we are there to offer moral support, understanding and a shoulder whenever needed. This is a journey of transformations, it won’t always be easy. IT WILL BE WORTH IT!!!

  1. Loved reading this. I can remember when Success Lies in Mind first opened. It was the waiting outside come rain or shine. It was lovely to see everyone again and to get back to looking after myself. I’m always there for my meetings unless work or not well, the atmosphere is always friendly and good to have a chat. Jackie and the team are always there to help you along the way. Happy 4th Birthday xx 🎉
