Why I Love This Job....
For the lady who for years sat on the beach in Cornwall in her "camouflage" beach outfit of baggy shorts, T shirt and oversized hat watching her family having fun on their bodyboards in the surf wishing she could be with them.
This year, 7 stone lighter thanks to LighterLife Total she was in her skintight wet suit on her bodyboard surfing beside them! | |

Healthy News and Advice
Losing weight halves the risk of breast cancer. Dropping as little as half a stone could reduce your chances by 50%; thats down to a drop in oestrogen levels when you lose weight.
Walking lowers blood pressure. Two and a half hours of walking a week can cut blood pressure by a quarter. Studies at the University of California found fitness played a crucial role in helping hypertension.

Thought for the Month
Assume responsibility

| Welcome to your August 2012 Newsletter |
|
Hi everyone,
Your newsletter took a holiday in July, but it's back packed full of news this month.
What did you think of the Olympics opening ceremony? I thought it was a fabulous example of the creativity, skill, humour (Mr Bean, Queen skydiving..) and generosity (all the volunteers who took part) that makes our country great.
If watching the Ladies Volleyball team has inspired you to shed a few pounds then come along to one of my free, no obligation, Initial Consultations on a Wednesday. See below for more info about what goes on at one of these sessions.
Also, have a look at our Loughborough success story for the month. Lorna has had fabulous success on the Total programme and feels like a winner herself - see her story below.
The Refer a Friend scheme is still going. Don't forget this is a national scheme so even if you recommend someone who joins elsewhere in the country, make sure they mention your name so that you earn yourself a great £25 voucher to spend in a high street store - see Terms and Conditions below.
If you would like to be part of the LighterLife Success Story and make 2012 the year you shed your unwanted weight for ever - you are welcome to come along to one of my free, no obligation Initial Consultations on a Wednesday at either 3.30pm or 7.15pm and find out more in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. Hope to meet you soon.

LighterLife Loughborough Success Story
 | | Lorna Feb 2012 |
 | | Lorna July 2012 |
Lorna joined in February 2012 with an obese BMI of 32.3. By June 2012 she was down to a very healthy BMI of 24.8 and ready to start the Phase One Management stages. She successfully completed these and is now a Life Member.
This is her story in her own words:
"I chose Lighterlife because uniquely it offers counselling to help you get to the bottom of your food issues and gives you strategies for replacing old unhelpful behaviours. Having lost weight on other diet plans in the past and regained the weight, I recognised that I needed something extra beyond what other weight loss plans offer.
The structure and boundaries of Lighterlife Total made it easy for me to stick to. After the first couple of weeks I found I could shop and cook for my family without it bothering me. I learnt that I can have a 'nice' time on a day out, a family gathering and even a holiday without everything having to revolve around food and eating. Some of the counselling sessions proved to be very powerful for me and I learnt a great deal about myself, my relationships and how my interactions with others had been impacting on my eating. I also used my time away from eating conventional food to read up on nutrition and health and plan some changes to how I would eat once my time on the Total Programme was over.
As the weight dropped off, I've changed. Obviously physically, but in many other ways too. Increased self esteem and self confidence were the first changes. My kids have noticed that I'm generally happier and "less grumpy". I've started running and ran my first 5k in June. I'm running a 10k race in September and a 10 mile race in October. Now I understand more about nutrition I don't want to eat the processed rubbish that I used to eat. The whole family eat more healthily and my husband has lost 22lbs too! For my birthday in June my husband bought me a set of size 10 motorcycle leathers for when we have days out on his motorbike. I can even wear some of my 11 year old daughters clothes!"
If you want to star in your own success story, come along for a free, no obligation Initial Consultation on a Wednesday at either 3.30pm or 7.15pm. Just give us a call to book a place on 01509 234433 or email debbie.ford@lighterlifecounsellor.com. |

What is an Initial Consultation and What Happens at One and Why are They Necessary
An Initial Consultation is an opportunity for you to find out more about the Programmes on offer, to help you decide if LighterLife is the right weight loss solution for you before you join, and, an opportunity for me to determine which is the right Programme for you (Total or Lite).
Because we are a medically monitored Programme (the only one in the UK) we need to have this initial meeting because you may need to visit a Health Practitioner before you can join.
The first thing that will happen is that I will email you in advance to advise you of any medical conditions that may prevent you from doing the Programme (i.e. Type One Diabetes, although not Type 2) and attach directions on how to find us. On the day of the Consultation I will text you to confirm the timing of your session. When you arrive I will meet you at the door and take you through to the office to check your BMI figure. This will help me determine which is the right Programme for you. There may be others attending this session as well as yourself, so once I have checked everyone's BMI, made you a drink and settled you into the comfortable consulting room I will ask you to complete a short health questionnaire which will be a confirmation from yourself as to your current state of health. If you are on any medications I will need the exact spelling and dosage of these please.
After this, I will show you a short 15 mins DVD introduced by Dr Hilary Jones explaining the concept of the Programmes and why they are much more than just a diet.
You are then free to ask whatever questions you wish of me (current highest number of questions = 17, from the same person!) even if you think it may sound foolish or have already been covered in the DVD. The aim of the session is for you to be able to leave with enough information to be able to make a decision about whether or not you want to join and commit to your Programme.
If you decide to join, you may need to visit a Health Practitioner for approval to join. Once I have this back we can set a date for you to start.
At no time will there be any "heavy sales techniques" deployed, the session is your session and is run to give you the information you need to make your decision about joining. |
