“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 be 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.”
