Three weeks on why it never lasts. Then five where the weight moves.

You already know how that ends. Nothing underneath it was ever touched - the stories, the habits, the eating that was never about hunger - so when a hard fortnight came along, they were what was left.

So we deal with those first. Not instead - first.

That doesn’t mean three weeks of sitting on your hands. While your head is getting sorted you will be getting familiar with what you are actually eating, and finding your feet with the training - so that when week four comes you are ready to go rather than starting from scratch.

Which is why the first thing we’ll ask of you is this: slow down.

• Week 1 Slow down. Clarity. Five sessions on your motivation, your truth, the stories you tell yourself and the way you talk to yourself. Nothing to change yet, nothing to track, nothing to weigh - and that is deliberate. Every time you have gone at this hard, you got a result fast enough to stop before anything underneath had changed.
• Week 2 Your head, and what’s on your plate. Vision runs alongside food awareness - and awareness is the word. Noticing what you actually eat, what is driving it, and what your next shop would need to look like. Still not changing anything. Clarity, applied to your kitchen.
• Week 3 And you start moving. Focus, plus your first live mornings with Allison. The job this week is showing up, not performance - so that by week four it is already a habit rather than another new thing.
• Weeks 4-8 Now it all goes to work. Accelerate. You know why you eat the way you do, you know what your shop looks like, and you are already turning up four mornings a week. This is where the weight moves, with coaching every week.

By now the groundwork is done. You understand your own eating, your kitchen looks different, and you have been turning up to train for a fortnight. So week four isn’t a start - it is a switch being thrown. This is where you find out what your body does when it is finally fed properly rather than punished, and you will be told why at every step rather than handed another set of rules.

• Nutrition built on nourishment - not deprivation, and not another calorie spreadsheet. The food that brings insulin down so your body can reach its own fat.
• Live strength training, four mornings a week - half an hour, from your front room, with Allison. Complete beginner upwards, minimal kit, camera off until you want feedback.
• Weekly coaching - on the week you have actually had, not the one the plan assumed.
• Everything recorded - so a missed morning is a missed morning, not a missed week.

“I am building a body I can rely on - even on holiday.”Clare · 3 stone, and it stayed off

“More vibrant, joyous and present.”Sue · 2 stone

“I swapped the weight for confidence.”Maria · 6½ stone, and she now coaches with us

Maria came to us wanting to lose weight. She lost six and a half stone over about a year, has kept it off since, and has since qualified as a fitness professional - she is now one of our coaches. When we asked her what had actually changed, she didn’t mention the weight at all.

Every one of these women was coached by us under our previous programme. Rewire and Accelerate is new - it is what we would do differently now, having watched what made the difference and what didn’t. Individual results vary, and nobody can promise you theirs.

• Do I have to wait three weeks to start?No. Food awareness begins in week two and the training starts in week three, so you are moving from early on. What we won’t do is hand you a plan to follow in week one, because being handed a plan is what has happened every other time and you already know how that goes.
• How much time does Rewire actually take?Fifteen to twenty minutes a day, Monday to Friday. A short video and a worksheet. Nothing to attend, nothing scheduled - do it when it suits you.
• I have not lifted a weight in my life.Most people arrive that way. Everything starts at complete beginner and Allison scales each movement live, so there is always a version that works for you. Camera off until you would like feedback.
• I am on a weight-loss injection.Plenty of our members are. It works considerably better alongside the right food and some strength work, and that is what protects you when you come off. Nobody here will advise you on your medication; that stays with your prescriber.
• What if I fall behind?Then you are a person with a life, which is most of us. Catch up when you can - the sessions wait for you, and we will notice you have gone quiet rather than letting you slip away.
• Is this therapy?No. It is coaching, built on the psychology of why change doesn’t hold - short videos and a worksheet, not a couch. If something comes up that needs a professional, we will say so.

You will have shifted the thinking and started the weight moving. What is left is the longest bit - keeping it, through everything life does next.

Sustain: sixteen weeks of weekly coaching.

Consolidating both halves in the middle of real life - the holidays, the stressful fortnights, the weeks that go sideways. It is a separate choice you make around week seven, not a tier of this one, and there is nothing to decide about it now.
