It's been an interesting journey. Apart from several administrative errors. People need to know that it's not a diet programme. There were several disgruntled patients who didn't really ever get what it was.
One of the staff is an utter legend. Those who stuck the course all agreed and to suddenly have them replaced was a shock and a bit pish to be fair. At least they had a modicum of authority! The one size fits all sessions didn't work well- there were definitely some injuries or other side effects brought on by it.
Another staff member is quality, really great. Good for a laugh. Gets things moving. There have been amazing light bulb moments, but not enough momentum or backing to enforce bit that didn't work. There should be better access to physio/massage as I think those with sore knees, hips and backs could have done with help.
I also feel going from weekly support to monthly support straight away is lacking. Poor decision. There needs to be a gradual weaning off the support. Lots to consider.
I am happy I had the chance to do it, even if it was as awkward as hell being the only chap in the group. There should definitely be access online for specific weight management guidance for those on this journey. There's very little, if any, online support.
