Hi, my name is Shalini. The Winning-at-Losing program is one of the best things that ever happened to me. I was obese from a very young age. When I started the program with Jo-Anne in June 2015 I was 180 pounds - unhappy, low self-esteem, always tired and putting more effort than required for everything.
After diligently following this program, I lost 35 pounds to reach my chosen Healthy Weight Zone (HWZ) in March 2016. How I felt at the end of the program was surprising.

To this day she continues her healthy way to eat and exercise which helps her continue to manage her HWZ.
May 2021, Roxanne wrote: “The benefits I have learned from eating healthier are:My body feels strong and healthy. I have never worried about getting sick because I feel that because of my healthy way of eating and daily exercise, I (my body) can combat anything.
Leading a healthy lifestyle and sticking with it has made me feel better about myself physically and mentally. I am proud of my healthy lifestyle choices. All because of your “Program.”

Her creativity and humor will blow you away! Weight loss humor lightens the spirit, right?
Doable, realistic...
No foods counted out,
Measuring cups and food scales,
to banish all doubt.
1200 the number, of calories to count,
to send those pounds packing…
And never, to mount.

My allergy to Vitamin C has not bothered me for the past two months and I have been able to eat citrus fruits. And, my clothes fit better especially around my middle section and thighs.”
“The program encourages you to individually develop a plan that is best suited to you and your lifestyle. The accountability each week was a driving force to keep at it.” Donna
April 2014, Cindi celebrated Winning-at-Losing 25 pounds to reach her chosen Healthy Weight Zone (HWZ).
Cindi continues to this day in her HWZ because as she wrote in May 2021, “it is so great to know that you continue to help people like me to lead healthy and happy lives. I am happy to report that I am still at my goal weight. Indeed, you taught me how to think about food differently and how to understand the difference in effect which is so much dependent on what you eat rather than just how much you eat.”
“I do want to thank you most sincerely. Your influence has had a lasting effect on my life and my health. I have been eating healthy and exercising 2 to 3 times a week since your program. Thank you, thank you. I am so appreciative to have had your influence in my life . . . Keep well, Cinde xx”

I was looking for ways to invest in my future health when I heard about the Winning-at-Losing program from the nurse at the school where I work. Winning-at-Losing suggests some easy lifestyle fixes like drinking more water, not eating late and mindfully eating while seated. Some Winning-at-Losing tools that worked for me are learning portion sizes and keeping an Eating Record.

By Christine
I had always struggled with my weight and especially after having two children and an operation. I no longer recognised myself in the mirror. I felt hopeless, defeated and tired. I struggled to find energy to do even the simplest of things. Getting dressed and packing up to leave the house with the children was a huge task. I had tried and failed at diets like no carbs. I did not want to go on a ‘diet’. I wanted to change my life. The Winning-at-Losing program was recommended to me by a friend. The program has definitely changed my life forever!
