Transform Your Daily Habits and Watch Your Health & Body Shape Change

The Healthy Habits programme run by Billy encouraged me to explore needed changes in my lifestyle but in an easy and uncomplicated way. Using the step by step approach allowed and encouraged me to make small changes that had immediate impact. Just by recognising one small change (in my case it was establishing healthy snacks), but also breaking down that change into smaller step by step approaches, allowed me to explore potential barriers and solutions in a focussed way.

Even just after a couple of weeks I have begun to put into practise the small changes I needed to make to ensure I healthy snacks using the simple solutions approach. Sometimes to make lasting changes in your life you need some support, with Billy on your side you can begin to make those changes easily.

Billy works with you personally, not as a ‘one size fits all’ approach that comes with many other healthy lifestyle organisations. I personally would recommend Billy to support you in creating long lasting Healthy Habits.

Before I joined Billy’s programme, I was struggling with knowing what I was eating that was causing my weight problems. Part of it I know was hormonal and I had a problem exercising safely. I have learnt a lot about eating a balanced diet. Eating the right proteins that suited my intolerances. I enjoyed the recipes on the Facebook and membership pages.

I found being accountable to Billy was a huge part of keeping on track and I feel this is an extremely valuable part of the programme.

Talking things through celebrating wins however small and arresting what holds me back or gets in the way of success. Billy coaches you through you limiting beliefs and does this in a kind encouraging way.

I was also struggling to participate in safe exercise and not to cause more injury. As I have a particular problem with my neck. I found my physio sessions with Jayne so helpful.

Learning very gentle exercises to improve my posture and strengthen my core strength.

The best result for me was to be accountable to myself, to cut down the amount of food I ate and when. To vary my diet. To eat more protein etc. My core strength has improved and my self-esteem with it. I can recommend this program to anyone wanting to make positive changes to their lifestyle.

During the lockdown over winter, I was working from home & found I wasn’t going outdoors or getting any exercise. I was gradually putting on weight, feeling tired, sluggish & lacked the motivation to do anything about it.

I started Billy’s 12-week programme at the end of January 2021. It gave me a focus. I concentrated on my food & made small changes at first. Jacket potatoes, not chips. Sweet potatoes not white potatoes, etc. I cut out crisps, my weakness.

I also made a point of going out for a walk every day even if only for 10 minutes. I was moving about & active. The short walks gradually became longer & the more healthy options became the normal way of eating.

At the end of the programme I had lost 19lbs in weight.

I have more energy, a more positive outlook & feel less stressed. I look forward to my walks or doing an exercise routine. My clothes feel more comfortable, & I’ve gone down a size. I am now maintaining my weight. I still have a treat now & again. I’ve never felt hungry or that I’m depriving myself of anything. There are some great recipes & meal ideas in the member’s area with regular text check-ins & weekly

Zoom calls to help keep me on track.

I found the 7 day programme so inspiring. It really helps you to focus your mind on the bigger picture & understand why we often get stuck in the ‘start, stop, stuck’ cycle. Billy is so positive & gets you to think through what might block your progress & find ways around. I loved the ‘check in’ call & that help/advice is only an email away.

I’d thoroughly recommend the Steps 2wards Health programme, it’s all about understanding the choices we make, why we make them & finding ways forward to make better choices!

Before starting 1:1 support with Billy, I was in a rut. I realised that it was time to put myself first again; I needed to get back into looking after myself physically as well as mentally, I was making limited progress on my own. I tried a few classes and swimming but never really disciplined myself to stick to a routine. I’d also started more mindful eating and reflexology, but I was still looking for help with the next steps to feeling physically and mentally healthy and fit again. I knew I needed some help with my self-discipline and a kick up the backside to do it!

My only concern before I came to my first consultation with Billy was the cost involved; but having met Billy and talked through my goals and learnt about his approach, I recognised immediately that the investment would be worth it.

Over the past year, my fitness levels have improved greatly through a planned step by step approach, working on strengthening and conditioning my body through a varied weekly programme which I actually look forward to!  Within a few sessions my achy knee stopped aching, and I was able to see real improvements in the exercises I could do, which really built my confidence. After about 6 months I was confident enough to add some pole walking to my programme and also some group fitness sessions – both things I was anxious about being able to do in the past. Now I take part regularly and really enjoy the activities.

The gains from having support from Billy are so many – everything is so personalised and focussed on my whole wellbeing including advice on nutrition when I need it.  I am normally risk adverse but having Billy’s support available to me really helps to give me the resolve to push myself that bit more and feel good about myself again. I am feeling better in body and mind and happy. I also have realised that we cannot look after others if we get to the point where there is nothing left in the tank for ourselves.

The best thing for me so far is that I feel more capable, it has given me a lot more confidence physically. I am enjoying being fit again with the added bonus of a whole group of new friends too.
