Mother Of Five Loses 10 Stone In One Year

Jacinta from Banbury, has lost over 10 stones in weight in under a year.
 
"I knew that an ordinary slimming club wouldn't be the answer, I needed a strict regime and I didn't want it to take forever. Losing a pound a week would take too long and I'd lose my motivation to keep going." said Jacinta.
 
A friend recommended The Healthier Weight Centre in Birmingham. "I liked the idea of the behavioural content of the healthy weight loss programme and when I joined I learnt new skills to develop a better relationship with food".
 
"Research has shown the benefits of losing weight fast. The more weight people lose in the first few weeks of a weight loss programme, the more likely they are to stick to the diet and reach their target. Our programme is highly structured and focuses on behavioural and lifestyle change. The prospect of losing a significant amount of weight in a relatively short space of time is very encouraging for our clients and we have seen some amazing results." says Dr David Ashton, who founded the Healthier Weight Programme five years ago.

The rest of us at the centre will always remember the sight of Jacinta’s five young children who accompanied her on a visit one time in the school holidays. Like the Von Trapp children, they lined up and then sat down in a row cross legged on the floor, waiting patiently for their mother whilst she popped in to say hello!
