Have You Ever

I have been to several weight loss clubs in my time. It’s always nerve wracking to join but once through the doors; you are met with a sea of smiles. No judgement. Just all walks of life, on the same journey to lose weight. For health, for confidence, for an upcoming social event or after a baby – no matter …
