Battling with my weight physically…

Battling with my weight physically mentally for years I felt I was at the end of my tether, until I saw a post on Facebook and I reached out and contacted Alex , despite, not being able to take up a paid program, Alex still provided for his courses absolutely free to get me on my way. He is clearly passionate & very understanding about helping people with his generosity and kind approach. thank you and much appreciation, Alex.

Changing my life, not just my weight.

I've been on Alex Neilan's Sustainable Change programme for over a year now, and it's improving my health - but more than that it's given me positivity and confidence in my future. I've always struggled with my weight and self-confidence - literally hiding behind baggy, dark clothes. Of course I'd lost weight before, but it never stayed off for long and as my hormones shifted and I was diagnosed with psoriatic and osteoarthritis, I lost hope of ever being well, fit or slim again. And now that's all changed - I'm learning to "Put me first - first" by looking after my health so that I'm the best possible version of me - in my loving relationships with family and friends, and in how I show up in the world and in my work. With careful coaching and the support of the amazing team at Sustainable Change, I'm improving how I navigate through a difficult time with greater compassion towards myself. I'm learning new strategies to self-soothe instead of reaching for the biscuit tin. I'm eating more nutritious foods so I have more energy, my moods are more stable and my pain is more tolerable. And I love being back in the gym - which I never thought would be possible again. I'm also slowly building my personalised skillset of habits to make these changes sustainable so that the last third of my life will definitely be my best third of my life. As someone who was full of self-doubt, I couldn't imagine this transformation was possible...but Alex Neilan, the Sustainable Change coaches and the tremendous Facebook support group have encouraged and cheered me along each step of the way - and if I can do this, anyone can do this! Above all I've learned that putting my self-care first isn't selfish - it's essential for living a happier, healthier and more loving life!

Looking forward to the course

Thank you to Alex for giving me the opportunity to try this course for free. I've just started working my way through the videos and the sensible, down to earth approach is inspiring. I'm looking forward to working my way through the course and making sustainable changes to my lifestyle.

Lose kg gain confidence, knowledge and mojo!

Down 7kg, up 1000% in self-belief and the tools to keep getting better!I’ve been in this program for almost 3 months now. As a professional sceptic and lifelong learner (career in science) let me reassure you it’s every bit as good as it sounds - no gimmicks, no lies; this is the support and knowledge and tools and sheer damn enthusiasm I needed (we all need!) to turn out of the middle-age-weight-gain-all-downhill-from-here road I was on, and start ageing backwards. Literally. So I was 100kg (not my heaviest ever, but close). Hiding in baggy stretchy black clothes. Hanging on the banister to get up the stairs, clawing my way up from the floor, ‘let’s only make a single visit to the bottom cupboard’ full-scale given-up acceptance. Giving up more than that, because I had stopped climbing, cycling, walking the steep routes, so many things I loved. Always too busy, too defeated, too tired to think there was anything I could do about it. Fast forward a little (and a lot of scepticism, and a leap of faith, and quite a bit of “workout at 7am? ME??”) to this morning, when I heard the approaching recycling lorry breaking bottles two cottages away and remembered I hadn’t put the cardboard out… ran for the kitchen, squatted on the floor to grab the two recycling boxes and fill them up. Stop from a squat with a box in each hand, ran for the door and down the 100yd dash to the end of the lane just before the lorry got to me. Perfect. And then I realised, I’d come up from the floor with no hands (and hardly any popcorn knees!). I’d run 100yd sprint with a crate in each hand, and I wasn’t out of breath. To a Fit Person, that’s not a lot. Barely noticeable. Normal. To me, in June? Impossible. And Sustainable Change is full of us. Women like me, taking their lives and their bodies back under their control. Leaning into Alex and the team (and it’s a big team - there’s an expert for everything I might need!) when things go wrong or aren’t working (it happens. It happen again. I’m here for that and so are they).It’s hard to believe, isn’t it? I’ve realised that I will fight to my last breath for the team I lead at work. I’ll stand up for biodiversity, for human rights, for my dog, for my partner (oops hope he doesn’t read this, coming after the dog!) but I wasn’t standing up for me. For my needs. For my adventures. For my joy. SC is helping me understand that I’m worth the effort. That if I take care of myself, I can give more back to my extended family, put more into my work, more into my team, into my art. I can have more life in my days - and make the last third of my life the best yet (words that resonated with me from a chat with Alex just this morning). Where will I go from here? I plan on being the crazy auntie with unpredictable hair colour, that’s greeted not with “isn’t she sweet?” but with “what the h*** is the up to NOW?!!!”. I will be a benefit, not a burden. And SC is giving me the support and the tools and the knowledge to get there.

Truly surprised 😮

63, tried every diet imaginable but not sustainable. We all do it. Get excited, run with it, lose weight. Then, slip back into old ways. Came across Alec, had a lovely chat. Gutted that I could not commit to the plan but was truly surprised that I was sent the information I needed to achieve my goals. Watched a few videos and started to put into action some pointers. Monday, I'm normally running around like a headless chicken. Not this time. Got myself prepared the night before and boy, what a difference that made to the rest off my day. Being for mindful and putting little goals into action has made a massive difference. Early days but I am great full to the team for putting ne on the right track.WATCH THIS SPACE 🥰

It does what it says on the tin - sustainably!

Since joining TSD in 2024, I’ve lost over 22kgs and dropped 3 dress sizes.I’m able to walk miles without excruciating pain in my hips and knees, I’m fitter and healthier than I’ve been in years. I’ve grown in self confidence and there has been a massive shift in Mindset. My biggest issue was Fear - but I’ve learned to Kick that to the Curb!Along with Alex Neilan and the TSD team I completed Tough Mudder this year, something I never invisaged myself doing. But I faced my fears and did it anyway. If anyone is nervous about starting this journey, just take one step forward for yourself, there is a strong team and others on the journey to provide support and encouragement. I want to be fit and healthy to support my family and live to see my grandchildren get married. Sustainable Change has given me the tools to make that happen.

WIN with us!

I’ve struggled with my weight for years. Emotional eating, boredom eating, eating the ‘wrong’ things. I piled the weight on over the last few years…and then menopause happened, so trying to lose the weight became even harder. I’ve tried soooo many diets before. Noom, Weight Watchers, Keto, extremely low carb. Some of them worked. For a while. Then the weight piled back on again. I was struggling to know where to turn. Whilst doing some mindless Facebook scrolling, an advert for Sustainable Change popped up. So I opened up the page and had a look. I contacted Alex Neilan and chatted via Messenger and organised a telephone conversation to discuss further. I was still a little dubious but thought ‘What have I got to lose?’ I thought, ‘I’ve tried everything else so maybe the only thing I have to lose is weight!’ So I signed up. I’ve not looked back with any regrets. In 9 weeks, I’ve lost a stone. The support you get is unbelievable. You are allocated a coach who checks in regularly (Emma, I cannot fault you!), you have access to other members in a Facebook group known as the Inner Circle and Alex does live Facebook sessions four days a week which certainly help me to stay motivated and keep me on track. There is everything there to provide help along the way. Sustainable Change provide a personalised meal plan and exercise program which is completely tailored. And there are online fitness classes with Mish several times a week. If you are having doubts, dont! Get signed up! You won’t regret it! Sustainable Change is the best thing I’ve done. Thanks Alex and the team!

🖤 THE DAY I STOPPED HIDING BEHIND BLACK CLOTHING 🖤... If you're stuck right now, I hope I can inspi

I started putting on weight when difficult events came my way in my late 30s, including the illnesses and then loss of parents.I was juggling a difficult career and trying to do the best for my two children. Family-sized Galaxy bars were my friend. I had one every night. They were my comfort, relaxation, my look forward to. Sugar was my high and I ate a load of other c@%p during the day as well. My weight at only 5'4" tall was nearly 16 stone and still going up. I knew it was posing health risks but I was at a loss to know what to do. My confidence, self esteem and resilience were on the floor. I had tried all the popular diets, quick fixes and fads and nothing worked. If I lost any weight, soon more went on.I realise now, nothing worked because they weren't SUSTAINABLE. Fast forward to Alex popping up on my feed talking about losing weight SUSTAINABLY with a HOLISTIC approach. I signed up and worried I'd been scammed!Luckily I hadn't, and my TSD journey began. In 2024 when I started, I had a huge fear of failure. What if weight loss didn't happen for me? But it did. I am still part of the programme and follow a sustainable food plan that incorporates what I like to eat. I am understanding more about nutritional science and the importance of protein but no food group is off limits. I stopped being a couch potato and do movement and exercise, tailored for me, that I sort of enjoy from which I see and feel results. I have a 1:1 coach (my saviour Kathryn) who is in my corner celebrating my wins, encouraging me that I can do it; who supports me when I feel low, deflated or sorry for myself. I have access to a team of health professionals who cover psychological and physiological issues in laymans' terms I can understand and relate to. There is a fabulous peer support group that offer inspiration and a sharing of knowledge and experiences. I haven't exactly taken the motorway route in a fast car, more like the scenic route with some dead ends, bumps and a bicycle ride along the way. I wouldn't change a thing though because this is my journey, my experience, my learning curve. Life sometimes gets in the way - full time working with l o n g hours, family worries, upsets, illness but I strive to keep going because as Alex says, you only fail if you give up and it's never occurred to me to do that. Over 2 stone and 50cm gone plus 2 to 3 dress sizes down. For anyone who is unsure, I would urge you to take a leap of faith... ♥️
