Why did you work with Ben, what were your goals and what had you tried before?

I have known Ben since I was small, we went to school together. Over the last 10 years he would always inspire me to go on a health drive when he came home for the weekend. As we live opposite ends of the country now I would always end up back at square one.

I have tried many times in the past to lose weight usually focusing on mostly exercise.

I used to lose weight but when my exercise dropped off due to work commitments I used to pile it back on.

When Ben launched his new online course I jumped at the opportunity to get myself into shape once and for all.

I knew he had been studying and researching the best possible way to lose weight and keep it off for good.

My goal was to get down to 13 and half stone while learning to control my body and food cravings. I wanted to fit into a 34" pair of jeans and most importantly I wanted to feel as good about the person in the mirror as I do on the inside.

How did you find the experience?

I loved the course. Learning what was healthy for me was surprising as you are told so much in the media which is not right for you. I realized that much of this is just mis-information. I found the exercise routines changed the way I approached my training and made it a lot more interesting.

The emotional freedom technique (EFT) seemed a bit crazy. Ben pointed out that as I had been overweight since I was 10 so I had to look at the mental component if I wanted to be successful long term. I thought it seems daft but heck I will give it a go.

I liked the audio recordings of the information sheets, It meant I could listen again and again so I truly understood the information.

What results did you get?

I am really happy with my results, so far I have lost nearly 2 stone, (12 KG). I am now 2 jeans sizes smaller. To this I have controlled my food cravings and reduced my caffeine and salt intake to almost zero.

My confidence has improved thanks to the EFT, still can’t believe it works! My fitness and training is going great and I am getting into the best shape of my life.

I am looking to lose another stone and I currently still losing weight. I see no reason why I cannot achieve my goals as these techniques are healthy, manageable and sensible to my lifestyle.
