Motivation Weight Management Beacon

There certainly are elements of it that people would benefit from. Understanding your food choices and where you've made bad choices that hampered your attempts to lose weight. There's a lot to be saiid foor educating people on those things.

But it seems like the cost is based on how much you need to lose and when you need to lose it by.

Does this mean they give you a food plan for that period of time? How prescriptive is it?

That's the bit that concerns me. That people are being told what to do rather than being taught what to do and why they should do it.

Please don't do it. It's Codswallop. I did it going back about five years ago and unless they changed the plan since then, it was a very low calorie diet. There was an awful lot of measuring stuff on it and to be honest I was absolutely starving( think I was on 800 or 1000 calories a day) plus 2 bars.

It was a waste of 600 euro.

They also say they will find psychological reasons why you are overweight and for me that was annoying because there were none, at the time I was just greedy and lazy and unmotivated.

They push the protein bars, they were expensive, think 30 per week but tasted ok to be fair.

I was not exactly big, needed to lose about 2 stone. Lost 10lbs in a month and then could not bear to go again as I could not cope with the diet.

Have since lost the weight myself through healthy eating and exercise.

they did give cd's to listen to in the car....they were bizarre to say the least.

If you could not manage Slimming World (which I would not do now, but I still think is better than Motivation) you will not like this.

For me the key is to be self motivated, if you are not, and you are paying someone else to motivate you, you will not sustain it.

I looked in the mirror one day going to a wedding wearing a size 16 dress and said stop moaning about looking fat and do something about it. That was the day I changed my own mindset.
