The course was very well explained for everyone. I have enjoyed it very much. David was an excellent speaker and teacher.

E Jhauas

The course has been very useful, and I would definitely recommend this course to other people in a heartbeat. I’ve done most diets – Weight Watchers and Slimming World – but I have a much clearer vision of what I need and can do with my day-to-day life

Wendy Plumpton

I would recommend this course to anyone wanting to be lose weight. The course is full of information which helps educate to help with food, calories and exercise.

Lisa Topley

The course has been really helpful to get my mind away from slimming groups and to understanding calories. No food is free! David has been encouraging to the whole group. He has also covered everything we need to move forward and continue with our journeys.

Weight Management Customer

An informative, helpful course which opens the mind to challenge and probes lifestyle.

Amanda Riggall

I would never have started back swimming if I hadn’t started the course. It’s great value for money, providing the tools needed. Pleased with my 2.2kg weight loss. Digger is so enthusiastic and motivating through good and bad weeks. The lessons are at a pace, level and understanding to enable absorption and action!

Christine Wright

A very good experience, Digger was excellent in the way he presented the programme. He has made a big improvement in my attitude and the advice was very informative. Congratulations to Lincs Inspire for the experience and keep it up.

Ian Birkin

Overall the biggest impact the course this has had is not only on my weight, the inches lost or how I see food but my mental health. I’ve gone from being very pessimistic feeling defeated, miserable, having low self esteem and no confidence to now being very optimistic fully motivated, more confident and bursting with energy and finally feeling confident in my own body. My family and friends are amazed at my transformation and say I’m completely different person to who I was when I stepped through the door 12 weeks ago. This course has been a lifesaver for me and I’m now fully embracing and enjoying the new healthy lifestyle change & can’t wait too see what the future holds.

Laura Roberts

Just a quick thanks for everything you’ve done for Steve and myself. You have given us the knowledge & motivation we were both desperate for, for starting our healthier lifestyle. We both have health problems and basically wrote ourselves off, but by doing the weight management course with you, & the support & advice you’ve given us has given us the boost of “we can do it confidence” that we both needed.

Ann Barley

Thank you so much for the classes, I have really enjoyed them, been inspired, and they have encouraged me to look before I eat!

Shelagh Winter

I’m proud of staying for the full course and changing my way of thinking about food and exercise. My clothes now fit better.

Carol

The course has made me think before eating – am I hungry? And portion sizes are so important!

Dot

I feel much more positive and optimistic and that’s thanks to the course leader’s positive energy and non-judgmental character. Many Thanks.
