Story

Hello all, thanks for the visit, hopefully you might want to stay and donate! 

 

This is my challenge, well it's more of a group challenge. Earlier this year James and Brian at Garden of Eden http://www.gardenofedenuk.com/  in Peterborough asked for my help to trial 'The Weightless Method', and me being me well the chance to try a free non-diet but to lose weight - it sounded fab! As the trial person my programme is free, and covers 3 steps, the first uses hypnotherapy, psychotherapy, reflexology and nutrition. It has really changed my way of thinking about, chosing and eating food. Now the next steps involve training in the gym and keeping that going over the next 6 months.

James and Brian being such terrific blokes have agreed that I take their offer and turn it into this challenge - the aim a small size 16 (from the current 22!). Or maybe smaller who knows! So I am using the opportunity of losing weight to gain sponsorship for Deafblind UK. If you didn't know it's where I work and love my role as the Policy, Information and Advice Manager. So I have a group of about 60 staff around the building to make sure that I cannot cheat and eat unhealthy things! (They are fabulous supporters really). The aim is that through my personal challenge I can raise vital funds to help our work and the challenges faced by deafblind people across the UK.

So as 'The Weightless Method' guinea pig, please please sponsor me to raise these funds and to keep me on track to that size! After all I could not let you all down!

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Thank you all for the donations and messages of support.
