For over 10 years, Re-Shape member Stephen had very worn knee joints and was wary of knee surgery.
He asked his GP practice to help him find a way to lose weight without medication and they referred him to One You Cheshire East’s Re-Shape programme.
Stephen shared
“I have always been overweight guy. My hobbies and interests used to keep me fairly active, but over the past few years, knee problems have caused my weight to increase. I have tried various diets and they all seemed to be too restrictive.”
Feeling motivated to start Re-Shape, Stephen has done incredible and noticed many benefits,
“I have lost 22kg in 6 months, despite two all-inclusive holidays in that time. I am told that I am much happier and I am in much less pain with my joints.”
Re-Shape has helped Stephen understand the process of eating rather than just what he eats.
“I think the greatest impact was learning when to eat, not just what to eat. I enjoyed the none blame/ none preach aspect of the programme. Very positive trainer.
I also found a lot the other people there had tried other diets and found this a refreshing approach. Food wise I now really love my breakfasts (protein early) where I was never a breakfast person before.”
