Hi - my name is Joan and welcome to my website.

Just a brief background on myself and how I can hopefully convince you that if, like me, you have tried many ways in the past to lose weight unsuccessfully, this time it will be different!

Almost 7 years ago now I could often be found in a wheelchair due to a chronic arthritic hip. No-one wanted to operate on me because I was "too young". I'd become very depressed, had no quality of life, couldn't exercise and took to food as a comfort. Does any of this ring any bells with you?

Finally, after a successful operation using pioneering surgery, I got my physical life back but I still had my excess weight. I went through the usual routes I'd tried many times before - didn't know why I thought it should be any different from the past but I'd give it one more try - and surprise, surprise, even after losing some weight initially I'd put it all back on, plus some.

And then I came across this programme, in March 2003. In 5 months I lost 49lbs, went on to lose 52lbs, have not felt hungry, in fact I feel great, have more energy than I thought possible at my age and for the first time in my life I have kept the weight off. More importantly though, I now understand why it is not important to just focus on WEIGHTLOSS - throw away the scales and focus on INCHLOSS. It's not weight that is the problem, it's where the fat is being stored that's the problem. I will ensure you change your shape and the free on-line body fat analysis report and our free consultation will help me to establish whether you need to lose weight, maintain weight or change your shape and lower your body fat % in line with medically accepted targets.

I know I speak from an authorative knowledge base, which is why I'm so convinced that I can help you. My husband, who was very sceptical at first, has also gone on to lose 42lbs in total, has kept it off for 5 years now and has never felt better. That's after previous triple heart by-pass surgery, a kidney removal and a gall-bladder removal! So our programme is for everyone.

In addition to offering a free weightloss consultation, I'm also offering a 12 week nutritional course in my local area. If you local to me in Berkshire and would like more information, please do get back to me. In the meantime, just complete the appropriate on-line survey, I'll get back to you within 24 hours and your journey to your ideal weight and shape can begin.

Yours in health
