This is such a common concern that has been overcome time and again. What members have realised is that their previous attempts at losing weight met one or more of a number of problems:

• It wasn't sustainable, so they couldn't continue it long term.
• It didn't suit the family, and the practice of preparing one meal for themselves and another for the rest of the family was overwhelming.
• Only one aspect of the weight loss puzzle was tackled at a time.
• They constantly felt deprived, or as though they were missing out.
• It was a 'one-size-fits-all' strategy that didn't take individual differences into account.

Our weekly support sessions are a great time to identify any hurdles you are facing, put in place strategies to overcome them, congratulate you on your successes and plan for the week ahead.

Neither do we! Healthy eating patterns are important for everyone, whether or not they have weight to lose. Learning how to adapt basic guidelines to suit all the different family members is an essential component to making lasting change, and you'll work with a coach to fine-tune your family's meals.

We get it. Many women have spent years looking after the needs of others and not taking time to work on themselves. Some members start with excellent fitness while others get puffed out walking from the car to the front door. The exercise is easily adapted to suit your fitness levels. You'll gradually and gently build upon that as your body becomes accustomed to the movement.

Motivation is great for getting started, but it comes and goes. The support you get at Healthy Inspirations helps turn motivation into habits, and we're always here - along with others in the centre on their own journey - to pick you up and get you back on track.

Our lives are certainly busy and there are multiple demands on us that require attention. What most of our busy members have found is that when they take time for themselves, they cope better with other responsibilities and have a lot more energy to get through their busy days. In reality, all you need is 30 minutes a couple of times per week to make a huge difference.
