Love Letters
Client Testimonials
Mel, I told my husband and kids what you said to me the other day and to cut a long story short they no longer tell me that I’m boring when we go out for a meal because I take too long to eat it and they have also stopped complaining that I refuse to make food that I made before my operation if it means that I can’t eat it as well. (well most of the time!)
- Ange, Ayr
What a wise lady you are. I lost 7 stone after my bypass and yet I couldn’t see it and I still felt fat and ugly and ungainly. You opened my eyes to the language I use about myself and also about the danger of unrealistic goals. I am still losing weight, but I am also so much more content and happy within myself. Priceless
- Sophie, Harrogate
Your webinar about how to eat was so good. I didn’t realise how much I take for granted or am just unaware of. I really learned a lot and now I can’t stop telling everyone that they are not eating properly ha ha
- Katya, Maidstone
You do make me laugh Mel, some of your videos are hilarious. Nothing is off limits with you. You literally say it as it is
- Pete, Chelmsford
Thank you so much Mel, it was my cousin Ayesa that put me in touch with you because I couldn’t make up my mind about whether or not to have surgery even though I weighed 19 stone and have been thinking about it and driving her mad, for about 3 years. I’d even spoken to my GP who had referred me to Luton & Dunstable. But I still couldn’t decide. Reaching out to you really really helped me. The mist cleared and through your website I’ve learned that the rules for weight loss are basically the same whether you have surgery or not. I’ve decided not to have surgery – but you have helped me to lose 2 stone. I’ve never managed to lose that much before and I’m going to keep going. Thank you
- Suraiya, Luton
Mel, as you know I had my surgery in 2022 but by the end of 2024 my weight was creeping back up and my mood was sinking. You helped me get back on track and now I’ve re lost the weight I’d gained plus a further 6 pounds. I feel great thank you so much for your continued support and for LWB it’s such an enlightening platform
