LighterLife Podcast Presents Carole Malone Talking About Her Weight Loss Journey

Carole Malone, celebrity and News of the World journalist, has spoken out about her LighterLife weight loss journey on Inside LighterLife the company’s monthly podcast. Thousands of people across the country will listen to Carole’s story of how she dropped three dress sizes in three months. She tells how Jackie Llewelyn-Bowen inspired her to join LighterLife after seeing her on GMTV and how easy she found LighterLife Total.

Carole began LighterLife Total in October 2009 and admits going to her counsellor Jill Bonney with the ‘wrong attitude’. She said she was grumpy at her first LighterLife session and realised by the fourth day of Total that food had control over her. She met up with Jill and recognised that she wasn’t the only one feeling that way, everyone in the group was in the same boat.

Carole said: “I was desperate having tried and failed every diet over the past 25 years. I needed something radical, I was out of control. I also wasn’t prepared to take a whole year losing three stone on another weight loss programme. When I got on the scales after the first week I lost a whole dress size – the immediate results were motivating and also seeing everyone else in the group lose weight kept me going.”

One person Carole immediately bonded with was Elisabeth Piner who started LighterLife Total at the same time as her and also lost the same amount of weight too. They have remained firm friends and meet up outside of the group for a coffee and catch up. Elisabeth has a dress hire business based in Kingston called ‘Having a Ball Dress Hire’ where they can both now enjoy trying on size 12 dresses.

LighterLife, the weight loss and weight management programme, has introduced a brand new forum to its website called ‘Talking LighterLife’, to encourage clients to share and discuss their experiences of the LighterLife programme

Talking LighterLife will offer LighterLife clients a facility to express their views and talk about their LighterLife experiences and talk to others about how LighterLife has changed their lives. LighterLife clients will have the opportunity to post comments and gain extra support from others on the programme between their weekly group meetings.

The LighterLife forum allows clients the opportunity to speak to others on the programme and indentify with them and share similar experiences, whether they are commenting on celebs in the news, new diet products or how they have got on at their weekly group meeting. For some clients it provides an instant response or support when they are having a weak moment and for others, it is useful for updating and monitoring their progress on a daily or weekly basis as they progress through the weight loss programme. Many people on diets find it especially useful to talk with others and this is the opportunity for which Talking LighterLife is designed.

As well as allowing clients to talk about LighterLife, the weight loss forum will also offer potential clients the chance to learn more about the programme from people who have actually succeeded on it. Visitors will be able to see real questions posted by, and answered by, LighterLife clients. By offering this service, visitors will be able to read honest unbiased information to give them the tools to decide whether they are ready to join the programme. Users can also find a Counsellor, sign up and start the LighterLife journey themselves. There is also an opportunity for existing or potential clients to askLighterLife a question directly if they don’t want to post their question publicly.

Sara Jamison, the Sales and Marketing Director at LighterLife, commented: “The introduction of Talking LighterLife is a fantastic addition to the LighterLife website. There are a number of LighterLife blogs online and we thought that the new forum would be the perfect place for both clients and potential clients to log on and either talk about their experiences or find out more about the programme in one central place.”

LighterLife launches its LighterLife Lite Programme to help those looking for a Lite Christmas

With the party season fast approaching, thoughts may be turning to fitting into that little black dress or dinner suit. As the office Christmas party beckons and people want to stand out in the crowd then the new LighterLife Programme may have the answer.

Launching on 24th November, the new LighterLife Lite Programme, is a safe, simple, sustainable weight-loss and weight-management programme for men and women, designed for people with one or more stone to lose (minimum body mass index of 25), and could be just what is needed.

By using the online BMI calculator as a guide and then following the LighterLife Lite Programme, which combines a low-calorie meal plus three nutritionally complete soups, shakes and bars each day, it is possible to lose up to 14lbs by Christmas Eve – the equivalent weight of a turkey for a family of 10.

The LighterLife Lite Programme also helps participants to explore the reasons why they overeat and then learn effective ways to deal with their problems, feelings and difficult situations, without turning to food, through weekly group meetings led by an accreditedLighterLife Weight-Management Counsellor.

The unique weight-loss programme and weight-management programme was previously only available to those with three stone or more to lose and with a BMI greater than 29, however due to popular demand, the new LighterLife Lite Programme is now being made available to anyone who is one stone or more overweight, with a BMI of 25 or above.

When a healthy weight has been achieved, Lighterlife offers a supportive free for life weight management programme to help keep the weight off for good.
