Not easy for a bloke to say but after I signed up I joined one of your support sessions.  I reckon I was feeling a bit sorry for myself but I didn’t know it then – you saw through me, like straight away, weren’t putting up with any of my shit.  I was gonna cancel but, I dunno, you like hit a nerve so I joined the next one.  You lot made me feel real welcome and Mel you’ve really stuck by me. I guess I needed that kick up the arse but I reckon if I stick at it I’ll finally be able to get off this yo yo’ing

I had weight loss surgery in 2019 and lost nearly 9 stone, but during and after Covid my weight went back up and  I felt like it had all been for nothing.  Last year I started taking the injection and thankfully it’s coming back down again. But I was really worried because it is so much harder this time round.  The drugs help but I hear such horror stories about what happens when you stop them that it scares me, I can’t afford to be on them for much longer. I’ve searched everywhere for help. I must belong to every facebook group out there but it’s all so conflicting. I caught an episode of your podcast a couple of weeks back and it just made sense. I signed up to KIO. When I first joined if I’m honest, I thought it would be just another dieting thing but it’s not, it’s more than that,  everything is explained in a way that even I can understand. You’ve shown me easy little tips that help enormously and don’t cost anymore. So thank you.

What a cracking webinar babe, wish I’d found out about you years ago.

I have only recently found out about KIO – A friend of mind sent me a link to your podcast – it was the one with the surgeon – I learned so much that I became a member.  Your approach is so refreshing.  Knowing that you have been through the same as me but still kept your weight off has inspired me to do what you did.  I love the podcasts by the way and I look forward to joining the next course. Thank you

Mel, I told my husband and kids what you said to me the other day and to cut a long story short they no longer tell me that I’m boring when  we go out for a meal because I take too long to eat it and they have also stopped complaining that I refuse to make food that I made before my operation if it means that I can’t eat it as well. (well most of the time!)

What a wise lady you are.  I lost 7 stone after my bypass and yet I couldn’t see it and I still felt fat and ugly and ungainly.  You opened my eyes to the language I use about myself and also about the danger of unrealistic goals.  I am still losing weight, but I am also so much more content and happy within myself.  Priceless
