Tamar, Age 35

I started using the service again back in June this year (2021) after my mum was ill and passed away.

I had used the services before and managed to lose two and a half stone but unfortunately I couldn’t keep it off and ended up the biggest I’d ever been.

I was really worried about the implications on my health, especially after losing mum but still couldn’t get motivated, especially during lockdown and just kept coming up with excuses but now I’m back in touch with the service again and speak with Carmen (Healthy Lifestyles Advisor) every week, I feel in a much better place with my health and weight loss and enjoying exercise again as well as cooking and trying new meals.

I have had some weeks where I’ve struggled but Carmen has been so helpful and spurred me on to get focused again and carry on with my journey. I am 16 weeks in this time and feel so much more confident in myself.

These services, and my advisor Carmen have been amazing, for not just weight loss but for my mental health. She is passionate about what she does and makes me feel like she cares about all the people she helps.

It would be great to eventually meet her in person as I’m sure it will be for all the people using the service as I think it will help my mental health so much, thus helping with my weight loss journey.

If anyone else is struggling with their weight, I would recommend this service. I don’t think I would have gotten this far without it.
