Last Monday was our monthly Coaching Day.
Where we do member assessments, interpretation, goal setting, etc.
Coach Faye mentioned it marked 4 years since she completed her first challenge.
The first of three she did to enable her to lose 65lbs in total for FREE (check myrise.co.uk/briefing-meeting if you like the sound of that).
So I routed out her original ‘before and after’ and popped it in our members only Facebook group.
Bit of inspiration for others.
Looking at that picture again for the first time in years, I noticed something.
The smile.
Straight across on the first picture.
Sides of the mouth starting to turn up a little on the second one.
Skip forward a few more months to the version that’s up on the wall in the club and she’s like the Cheshire Cat.
Looking around the walls you can see countless other similar examples.
Changes in size, shape and weight, of course.
But just as many much bigger smiles.
Eyes gleaming.
From slouching to chest out, shoulders back.
The journey is always about so much more than weight loss.
It’s what that loss and the changes to the body then mean to that person’s life and their confidence.
We say in our monthly find out more meeting (this one – – > myrise.co.uk/briefing-meeting) that “weight loss is kinda what we have to put above the door to get people in”.
It’s meeting people ‘where they’re at’ as that’s the language we mostly use in our society.
But it’s about so much more than that.
And, to be honest, nothing shows all of that more than the smile 🙂
Much love,
Jon ‘Shanice’ Hall and Matt ‘Lily’ Nicholson
