    Details of your 12-week weight loss journey:
    Your weight loss journey will run over 12 consecutive weeks, meeting your group once a week. We will carry out a full health check at the start of the course, taking your weight, height, and blood pressure, along with some body measurements (body measurements are optional), so we know your base line. Once we know your starting point we can get stuck in!

    The 12-week course includes:

    • Week 1: Calorie deficit and food diaries
    • Week 2: Habit breaking/exercise
    • Week 3: Drinks/work/life balance/exercise
    • Week 4: Healthy shopping/exercise
    • Week 5: Mindfulness/exercise
    • Week 6: Halfway point - recap/food swaps/exercise
    • Week 7: Emotional eating/exercise
    • Week 8: GI foods/exercise
    • Week 9: Home cooking/exercise
    • Week 10: Types of exercise
    • Week 11: Events/behaviour choices/exercise
    • Week 12: End of course results.

    The course will cover everything you need to help you lose weight. During the course you will take part in suitable exercise to help build a new lifestyle for yourself.

    Things you will need for the course:
    • Exercise clothing, something comfortable that you can move around in and a pair of trainers
    • A pen and notebook – we won't be writing much, but just in case you want to jot down any notes
    • A bottle of water – please note some venues do not have a kitchen for refreshments
    • An exercise mat - for those of you that want to exercise on the floor.

    A £10 refundable cash deposit is payable at the first session. Deposits will be returned on completion of the course.

    You will receive a folder for all your handouts, please don’t worry we’re not going to bombard you with paper, but the folder will be handy for you to store your course information.

    Towards the end of the course, we will work with you to make a personalised plan for when the 12-week course has finished. You won't just be marched out the door and left. Throughout the course there will be the chance to join WhatsApp groups and Facebook groups so that you can all keep in touch and let us know how you are getting on. You will also be contacted at around week 26, by your course instructor, to see how you are getting on.

    If you have any questions regarding the course please don't hesitate to give us a ring on 01424 451051 or drop an email to Heidi at activehastings@hastings.gov.uk.

    We can't wait to get you started!
    Heidi, Paul, Josh and Heather.
