I love the fantastic support and non-judgemental help offered by Debbie Ford to anyone who is struggling with their weight and joins a lighter life programme in Loughborough. I lost 7 1/2 stones 3 years ago with Lighter Life and never felt better. I still struggled to keep the weight off, so have been back a couple of times over the past year. Each time I am given consistant help, motivation and kind support to get back on track and keep healthy.Keep up the good work Debbie!
I remember sitting in a pub after weighing myself the night before and saying to my friend, "........I'm over 12 and a half stone. I'll have to do something about it!"I was 21 and now I'm 50. My weight had gradually climbed to nearly 17 stone almost without me knowing. Like most people, I decided almost impulsively that I had had enough.A colleague had told me about LighterLife and he had lost over 2 stone. I contacted Debbie at Loughborough and - I have to say for me - a relatively easy 5 months later I am back to normal, sensible eating and weigh just over 13 stone.During the whole process I was made to fell that I was not alone and was never judged or humiliated. This is not just a "diet" it is a way to change your life. The fact that I used to lose roughly 5 pounds a week was just taken as read. The main part was to change my attitude to eating and drinking and to enable me to go forward as a different person.Without doubt LighterLife has changed my life.
I had been very slim in my youth but as I got older any kind of diet took forever, and any weight lost didn't stay off for long. The weight piled on and the dress sizes increased up to a size 18/20. Shopping for clothes was depressing, many of the clothes looked frumpy and I felt years older. The worse I felt, the more I ate, and the scales kept going up. I would sometimes catch a side glimpse of myself and think "good grief, how did you ever let yourself get like this? Then my daughter heard about LighterLife and joined her local branch. Within a short period of time, she was looking pretty amazing, and I thought "I am going to have a go at this". I joined the Loughborough branch of LighterLife on the Lite Programme and never looked back. I commenced on 13th October 2010 and by the end of December had lost nearly 2.5 stones, then, by 24th February 2011 had reached my goal and had lost a total of 3st 5 lbs. I am down to a dress size 12 and feel marvellous. Shopping is a joy. I feel many years younger and my self esteem has risen to great heights. Family and friends cannot believe the transformation. I am now a Life Member, and I cannot recommend LighterLife highly enough. The Counsellor, Debbie Ford, was fantastic in her training and encouragement, and it is reassuring to know that this support is still there, should I wish to revisit or call on her. The group sessions were invaluable - the camaraderie was great. Now maintaining the weight and on top of the world. Thank you LighterLife, Debbie and all the fellow slimmers I met along the way. I WISH I HAD HEARD OF LIGHTERLIFE YEARS AGO!!!
I woke up one morning and just thought, I've had enough of being fat. I tried loads of other diets that didn't work, heard about LighterLife and thought I'd give it a go and I was amazed at the results. My life has changed in so many ways as a result of doing the Programme. I now go regularly to the gym and my relationship with food has totally changed. I don't buy or eat from emotion any more, I think about whether or not I'm actually hungry and if I am I go for the healthy options. I never thought I would be like this and so happy.
Work, pressure and life's events all affected my eating habits and I used food as a "comfort blanket". I'd tried other diets, but they didn't work for me. I wanted to lose the weight and get out of the dark, depressed place I was in before I was 40, so I joined LighterLife. Now I'm much happer, I have much more confidence, especially at work and find I am now taken more seriously. I'm proud of myself and only wished I'd done it sooner. Its taught me that I have got a lot of will power when I put my mind to something. The counselling really does work and gets you to look at yourself and to put yourself first, to stop using food for comfort or compensating for having a bad day. I feel fantastic now, a new me. It was hard work, but the hard work was well worth it.
I've always struggled with my weight and when my Mum died in 2008 I put even more on. My brother and I decided to spend our first Christmas alone travelling and we went on a trip of a lifetime travelling around South East Asia. We had a fabulous time but it was when we came back and I saw the photographs!!! I looked like a fat middle aged frumpy woman. It certainly gave me the kick I needed. I went on a diet and lost some weight but it was coming off too slowly. I had met Debbie through a networking group we both belong to and I had a chat with her. She showed me a couple of success stories and it inspired me. I therefore joined LighterLife in April 2009 and now several months later it's literally transformed my life!! Oh the joy of going into a shop and buying what I want and knowing what fits me.Losing weight has given me back my life - I have the confidence I had as a teenager. I also work in an image conscious profession and I now feel that I deserve to be there."
LighterLife has not only changed my life, but I believe, doubled my life expectancy! At 45 years old and morbidly obese at 22.5 stone (BMI 42.5) I could have expected to live to 60 or 65 years old ( 15 + years less than average) due to my overweight body.Now having lost 8 stone, & having maintained that weight loss through the 12 week Route to Management programme, with continued LighterLife support & hard work, I will maintain a healthy weight & regain a life expectancy in the low 80's (another 15 years). Every week in abstinance has put a year back on my life expectancy!Losing the weight has given me back self esteem, confidence, energy,& enthusiasm, to both work & play hard, and enjoy the outdoors & outdoor sports, without feeling continually tired.I no longer destroy trousers simply by trying to tie my shoe laces, or pick something up off the floor. My approach to food has been totally transformed, & my respect for 'me' in not continually damaging myself through over eating, has all come about through the fantastic re-education & mentoring I have received from Debbie & all at LighterLife Loughborough. A big thank you to you all.LighterLife is like a puppy dog........... for LIFE , not just for Christmas.
Since starting LighterLife Loughborough in April 09, I have gained a new lease of life. I had never been a healthy weight as an adult and so never knew what it was like to be able to go into any shop and pick whatever clothes I wanted. I do now! Whilst I never thought that everyday tasks such as walking upstairs was overly difficult, I now realize how much easier it is when you are slimmer - I can even run now! My Mum has seen what a difference it has made to me and has joined her local LighterLife group this month. It is the best and most effective weight loss programme I have ever been on.
I really wanted to lose a stone and tryed other diets but they just didn't shift the stubborn stone. The Lighterlife Lite programme worked a treat, easy, simple, and straight forward. Losing over a stone in just over 6 weeks. Debbie is lovely, encouraging, understanding and meetings are fun and supportive.
It's the only diet I've tried that really works. Lighterlife Loughborough really understands that the only way to loose weight, then KEEP IT OFF, is to change the way you think about food. The programme is well designed, keeping you motivated with obvious results as your clothes quickly become baggier and baggier. Once you reach your goal the counsellors work with you for a further few months to help you adjust to the ever tempting world of food. I lost nearly 4 stone and have kept it off, and now have free support for life in case I start to slip. Losing weight is never easy, but Lighterlife was the helping hand I needed.
Lighterlife Loughborough really made a hugh difference to me. Debbie and her team supported me while I lost 5 stone and they continue to be there to help me maintain the weight loss. The Lighterlife program isn't a diet it's a life change.
LighterLife Loughborough has given me back my life.I can do things now that I haven't been able to do for a very long time which makes me feel better about myself. The weight loss programme is easy to follow, is economical AND it really works.Debbie Ford, the owner is supportive, informative and very approachable. If you need to lose 3 stone or more in wieght, if you want to get your life back, if you need to improve your health then you cannot afford not to do this programme
LighterLife is the weight-loss programme that has actually changed my life. The advice about healthy eating and sensible foods is excellent, but expected; it's the indepth help to analyse why one's attitude to food is crooked that is exceptional. The group support is also invaluable, as is the ongoing support even after reaching that magic goal. Thank you for giving me back myself - a self I now like and understand.
Why didn't I do this years ago; I could have changed my life then instead of wasting years of self hatred and embarrassment about my body. I can now enjoy life in all aspects from sport to cooking delicious, healthy meals using foods I never dreamt i would love. Thanks to the great coucellors and group members, I will now reach my 50th birthday, slim, healthy and happy. Thank you so much.
Sling out all the old diets as this is the one - it really is. I have lost 30lb in 7 weeks. I feel good. Debbie the lighter life coach is wonderful.
This is a great place - help with slimming and also how to keep the weight off afterwards. The staff are all very friendly, knowledgable and helpful. I only needed 8 weeks to loose 30 lb to get me back into the recommended 20 to 25 range for my BMI (Body Mass Index). Though apparently more expensive than Weight Watcher type diets,it is not really,and it really does produce the goods!
