"My coach was absolutely amazing, she listened and understood my needs and found a way to help me work on my health goals. She helped me see a different perspective on the goals in a way that helped me see the most important goal to work on. These were the ones that were most successful for me."

"I wasn't expecting it to work. In the beginning, I thought it wouldn't do much but in the end, it did a significant amount to make my life better. I know I still have more to do but I feel confident I can stay on track to a better me."

"It [coaching] wasn't done in an aggressive way you know, that you need to do this and that... to reduce your weight and blah, blah, blah" but it wasn't. I was surprised for my age and my weight we went very, very gently when we moved forward."

"Mentally, I wasn't in a good condition and... I did it and I'm happy. Did I achieve my goal straight away? No, but I know in the back of my mind I'm doing something right and I'm happy with that."

"[The calling aspect] made organising times a lot easier, especially for me living out in the country."

"I feel like I have a little bit more energy and things like that. I feel confident now when I substitute foods and I'm not looking for snacks and things like that as much as what I was. I started doing some volunteer work now and I've even started looking for another part-time job because I'm retired and I'm a little bit bored."

"I was in a bit of a rut, so it was really good to have a goal to reach even though sometimes I didn't. It kept me on track and helped me lift my mood."

"One example of a healthy change was as simple as drinking more water. I generally wouldn't drink water unless I was very sick or I had no choice, I would drink soft drinks and juice instead. Since doing the coaching I have been drinking more water over the other stuff. Even though I know I can do better, seeing a significant change is a great way to see how far I've come."
