    It worked for me and the money wasn't an issue I fully understand that I am very lucky that I could afford it. If somebody said to me that they could guarantee that they could get me to shed 7 stone but it would cost €1000 euro per stone I would have paid it no probs so as far as I am concerned the €1500 that it cost me with MWLC was a steal. If you can afford it and you really want to change your life and lifestyle go for it.
    P.S is my post count enough not be accused of being a MWLC shill/plant

    People will always have something negative to say when it comes to this! I would have paid a lot more than I did and was fortunate to be able to do the same as u

    I'm completely sure that if you had a plan that would guarantee a stone loss for 1,000 euro you'd be a millionaire in short order!

    But MVW doesn't guarantee this, there is no money-back guarantee at all. They have the same regain rate as other plans, ie >90% of people gain all their weight back, was it good value for them?

    I think you are selling yourself short, YOU lost that weight, every. single. pound. YOU did that. Motivation provided a weekly goal to focus on and a little education, there really is nothing else special about it. This can be gotten elsewhere for a fraction of the cost.

    I suppose the MWL clinics come under fire cause they don't match the consensus on this forum. The health and fitness forum is about health and fitness, not thinness. An certainly while loosing a lot of weight is beneficial for your health, the MWL method is somewhat faddy, doesn't involve real food, doesn't involve training in any emphatic way and is charging you money for information that is available free. Can you pay somebody that known a hell of a lot more, make you take personal responsibility and help you become strong, slim and healthy---yes for a lot less money.

    Is it an easy option for people that like easy options - yes
    Does it promote healthy lifestyle and long term change - not really
    Does the end justify the means? Maybe.
    When somebody if ready to make a change will anything work - yes.

    Weirdly enough, you would have never got me to a personal trainer at the time, the MWL consultant was not fat...but nor was she in "shape" as i would call it now so it was far less intimidating to go to MWL.

    Thats 3 years ago.....but even now when i think back.....if i had to do it over again...i'd still go to MWL......It was what i needed at the time i suppose!

    Quality is always worth paying for, and I have paid for quality personal training from a person experienced, trained, qualified, motivated and skilled to deliver the value I expect (my sig explains the difference between price and value). Unfortunatly a lot of people dont know what quality is.

    Report back on both your triumphs in 5-10 years that's when quality comes through. Short term is the easy bit. A relapse in either area will bring me no joy, but the experience and statistics suggest strongly that you may have problems. Either can work out long term.

    Watch out for the bleeding gums....thats the first sign. ;)

    I'm on week 5 now- tough start due to personal family stress issues- but i have to say i now know alot more about triggers and how my bad habits flare up more so than before - scales are slow but my measurements are all down, and my adviser wants me to focus more on that than the scales
    Im happy and Im alot calmer in myself - yes im still having the little slip!yes im not 100% ticking all the boxs with the foods -but i am making changes - comfortable realistic ones
    my adviser gets me to focus on the positives - and to keep looking at what i AM doing as to what im NOT- for eg- my exercise inst wonderful im lucky to get out twice a week- but that's more than ive ever done before and my water is 2L plus - more than ever before, my portions are smaller, i eat regular- yes this may all b common sense for some people but for me this is all NEW common sense- and having my adviser there to encourage me and guide me is a relief!

    90% of people who loose weight on a diet regain the weight they lost + a third more in 3 years. MWL system is similar because it concentrates on body mass rather than body composition. Many people on this thread give personal of second hand testament to this, and those who succeed seem to have made changes in other areas to alter their metabolism.

    When I started my weight loss journey, I went to a very expensive place. I lost 20kg in a short period of time and dropped huge BF %. However I can recognise that the system was not sustainable, was based on supplements and unrealistic expectations and goals. I spent a lot of money and in a way I am happy with the results, however I would now recognise that I could easily have gotten this information free here on boards, and I would be further along with my training and goals if I had.

    I dont feel the need to defend my stupid choices just because they worked for me. I was scarfing down protien bar and powder to beat the band. I was tired on such low carbs, grumpy and obsessed. I wanted to loose weight and wanted to throw money at it and have somebody map my life, training, diet day to day. In a way I paid to take no responsibility.

    Now I am on my own and learning to balance my weight, energy levels, social life and strength. I recognise that people want help and find gym intimidating but my advice is that a good personal trainer teaches you to exercise and eat properly. Good ones don't care about your mass, but concentrate on how you feel and how you look. If I had to do it over again I would have posted on here looking for a recommendation of a good personal trainer close to my work and gone on from there. I remember in shape people in the gym coming up to me telling me I had lost weight and now I do the same when some new chap is working his bollox off.

    Now, obviously the onus is on me to keep the weight off once it's finished, but 3 people I know who saw the success I had with it joined up and they too lost the weight and put it back on, so maybe there is something to be said about it long term.

    I just had a look through the thread out of curiosity; it doesn't sound like MWL is particularly sustainable long-term based on the above. Of course that's just a small sample size but still, if you're paying that much money, it's awful to think of people putting all the weight back on afterwards :(

    I don't have an issue with anyone making money, as long as it's upfront and everyone knows what they are getting for their money.

    What I do take issue with is MVW acting like they have some big secret trick to losing weight and keeping it off which is worth the small fortune they charge when they patently don't.

    It's the same with Weight Watchers and other weight loss programs. Even most of the participants on shows like The Biggest Loser pile it back on, and they have public pressure to try and keep the weight off.

    I really think it comes down to personal responsibility. The problem with all of these things is that you're still leaving control in someone else's hands. Somebody else is checking up on you or telling you what to eat or how much to eat. You can see on the WW thread that there's people scared about weighing in because of what their leader might say/think, when it's themselves they should be losing the weight for.

    There's also the fact that all of these programs have an end date in sight, whether that's reaching your goal weight or the number of sessions you can afford with somewhere like the Motivation Clinic. So, it automatically feels like something temporary, rather than a continual lifestyle change.

    I've lost a little weight recently but it's been a side effect of eating healthier and taking up exercise rather than my ultimate goal, and while I'm delighted with the loss, I don't feel like I'm 'done'.

    For anyone into their research have a laugh at this

    http://www.motivation.ie/downloads/Stotland_Larocque_web_assessment_paper.pdf


    The study is here and is pretty honest about the strength of the data and the results, and it seems a valid well constructed study

    "It is premature to conclude that the Internet assessment can influence treatment
    continuation rates"

    "These results are limited by the correlational nature of the study. Patients who
    chose to complete the Time 2 assessment may have been different than those who did not
    - i.e., a self-selection bias may explain the results. However, we were not able to detect
    any group differences at pretreatment, nor in the amount of weight lost by Time 2.
    Variables not included in the present study might be more successful in differentiating
    between groups. For example, lower continuation rates among those who choose not to
    repeat the web-assessment may reflect their lower outcome expectancies and self-efficacy
    in relation to weight control (10,11). Not doing the test at Time 2 may be an early
    indication that the individual is losing hope and/or interest in weight control. Repeated
    evaluation of subjects’ weight control-related cognitions in relation to treatment
    continuation vs. dropout is required to test this hypothesis."

    - basically this is that people who did the questionare for 4 years keep the weight off, but if you look at the data the total drop-out rate is over 84% over the 4 years. So of the 16% who remain on the program only 84% keep the weight off which is actually only 13% of people who start.

    However MWL decide that their take on it is:

    "A clinical study of our weight maintenance programme results, presented at the International Congress of Obesity, showed an 86% success rate after 4 years, which is phenomenal when compared to conventional programmes. Statistics show that in general weight loss programmes show a maximum success rate of 5 - 6% weight maintenance after only 1 year."

    This is simply false advertising and actually proves that it is no more effective than any other diet.

    It's understandable that people can be against MWLC, honestly it's not for everyone!! To be honest I needed a kick in the behind to get me going!!
    Yes I am doing the programme and am nearing the end of it. But I am not worried about gaining afterwards because I do 4/5 intense workouts per week and I love it. Yes MWLC is a quick fix, but I think if I didn't sign up I wouldn't have overhauled my life. I know that food is a big component but my focus is on exercise too. Yes it's a lot of money and yes that's motivation in itself but my added motivation is to run a half marathon for the heart foundation as I lost my parents to heart disease!! So my reason for doing this programme is to get healthy and hopefully live more than the 40 odd years of my parents!!
    MWLC is NOT for everyone but it really lies within the person if they are successful or not!!

    Good question, why would you. To get out of the rain I suppose. Why would you pay unqualified people large sums for freely available information and gimmicky products, and a pretty poor diet plan, when there are so many good exercise and nutrition coaches out there....cause you couldn't be bothered I suppose.

    You have already paid your money and are still defending your choices, my advice is for those researching mwl trying to decide if it's the best thing. The fact that you went out on your own and augmented the program with exercise yourself shows that you could have done it all yourself. Do me a favour and reread my posts on this thread to see where I am coming from, it's a place about 2 years from where you are now.

    But if i was to give advice to my former self...it would be get a trainer and get lifting!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 14 bairbre12


    I did the MWL program a few years ago and lost about 2 stone on it. The principles of this as a diet work, however it is difficult to maintain as the strictness of the diet reduces the variety of what you can eat. I got frustrated with constant changing of consultant so I was getting slightly inconsistent advice and guidance and apart from one guy (who has lost a lot of weight with them himself) I found their consultants pretty average and not terribly professional.

    At times they were condescending and not terribly helpful. The times when I would go to the 'clinic' they were pretty busy and I always felt rushed when dealing with them so never got too much out of the conversations.

    The CD of the doctor are painful to listen to and I certainly never listened more than once although they kept saying to me that constant listening to the CD was the key in order to ensure you were completely brainwashed no doubt.
    The price of the supplements is a bit harsh but I would say that their protein drinks is one of the more pleasant tasting that I have tried.Writing food down is a good thing though and they give you a food diary for that. It just raises your consciousness of what is passing your lips which can only be a good thing.

    At the point where I had lost 2 stone they wanted more money from me to share their weight loss maintenance secrets but I gave up....Kept most of the weight off myself but have a bit more to go....The thing that made me stick to the 20 weeks was the amount I paid. It definitely wasn't the expertise or the service.

    Hope my comments are useful for anyone considering Motivation Weight Loss.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,116 ✭✭✭Lorna123


    Did the Motivation programme myself a few years ago and lost 2 stone but I only lost it because I told everyone how much it was costing me and they all said I was mad. I was determined to prove that I wasn't mad and it worked. However, I never followed the programme even though I bought the books, the cds, the protein bars. In fact I downed the 14 protein bars all in the first 2 days :D and the rest of the week went on the Atkins diet just so that I would have a loss for the next weigh in. I put all the weight back on again.

    I would never join MC again as I believe that if you really want to lose weight you will do it far cheaper than the motivation clinic and for some people the fact that they paid out all this money makes them think that they are on to something good and so they apply themselves, but they are the ones doing the work and not the leaders who only tell you what you already know about how to lose weight. If paying out 1,500 is what some people have to do to prove they can lose weight then so be it, but there are cheaper ways and you can do it for free if you apply yourself.

    Going for my initial consult today with Motivation. Have read this thread in full and see both points but for now have decided this is the route I wish to take as I've seen a couple of friends and quite a few acquaintences have long term success from it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 338 ✭✭dove2011


    Tbh don't waste your money on this- unless u have your 2 protein bars a day you will starve, the protein bars cost €30 per week; that is €120 a month extra to the €700 you pay initially. I have given up on motivation and I am the same weight I was when I started. Join a gym with the money. I

    I dunno guys I know two people who have used the Motivation clinics and they can't speak highly enough of them. I think some people need to understand any weight loss attempts are going to have to be backed up by a real desire to succeed and learn from the people who are helping you so you don't fall of the wagon..

    Update...well I finished my programme a good few weeks ago and am very pleased with the new and improved me.
    I have lost over 4 stone and am a healthy 9 2 now. I have been eating more and the scales hasn't budged, been doing gym sessions to reduce my fat % and it's going great.

    Motivation weight loss is the equivalent of leaving cert grind schools. You have someone standing over you making sure you don't deviate or slack off and the results are there at the end.

    Then people go to college and most realise they've never learnt to self motivate and thus flounder when it's down to them to keep the pace. Ditto for MWL, they (over)charge you for information and support that is cheaper elsewhere and then leave people to their own devices.

    I've been on these boards 5 years now. I've never seen anyone come on here to say they did MWL 3 years ago and kept the weight off. And there's loads of different long-term maintainers on here, all doing different eating plan. Common denominator is that we learned to change our lifestyles on our own.

    To any person desperately considering MWL (and you'd want to be desperate to spend 700 euro +, that or hilariously wealthy), please don't waste your money on another quick fix. If you can lose it with MWL, you can DEFINITELY lose it on your own and save 700 euro for a brand new wardrobe.:)

    Loosing weight is difficult, and no matter how you do it congratulations are in order, but congratulations to the person not the system. MWL however tells you that you use food as a crutch, they "tackle" why you eat too much, but swapping the crutch of food for the crutch of MWL babble and products. According to their own research (I posted a few pages back) only 15% of people keep the weight off for 3 years.
