Our Clients Stories
Marc’s Story
Marc joined Morelife at 128kg, because of his weight he felt breathless and struggled to find clothes that fit him. He had lost weight in the past with Slim Fast and The Cambridge Diet but felt they were only a short-term fix.
With Morelife he was analysing his eating habits and addressing why he ate the way he did; beginning to understand why he ate the way he did. As a result, he lost over 45.5kg or 7.1 stone!
“I feel good about myself; I now wear 36-inch jeans and a large t-shirt. This has given me great confidence.”

Caroline’s Story
Caroline felt trapped in a cycle of restrictive weight loss programmes and guilt cycles; feeling like her weight impacted every element of her life.
When her GP referred her to Morelife she felt it was so different from other weight loss programmes, there were no restrictions, no banned foods, and no sins. Instead, she was invited to explore the psychology behind her eating habits and enjoy the foods she loved in moderation.
“The Morelife team were just amazing. I have felt such a huge source of support at every level, and it’s made such a difference.“

Chris’s Story
Before joining Morelife, Chris weighed 18.2 stone and was living with diabetes.
He struggled for many years to lose weight and keep the weight off.
Our programme provided Chris with the knowledge and tools he needed to make changes to his lifestyle. He particularly benefitted from the nutrition advice; learning how to read food labels, reduce his portion sizes and swap snacks for healthier alternatives.
“I am so grateful to the Morelife Team and programme. It’s been a remarkable success story for me. Morelife gave me the motivation I needed.”

Louise’s Story
Before joining Morelife, Louise felt stuck in her habits and needed motivation to make changes to her lifestyle.
When Louise was referred to Morelife by her GP, she felt welcomed by her group and enjoyed being around like-minded people.
With a new love for adventure walking, she has set herself a new target of walking 630 miles to support her continued weight loss.
“The programme has given me the tools to make my day-to-day life easier. I can get out of bed easier, I can walk a lot easier and I no longer suffer from insomnia.”
