John Smith commented: “I had a variety of health issues – I’d suffered chest pains and I found out I had type two diabetes. The course taught us a lot. I’m no longer on medication for diabetes because of the changes I made”. Provost Moran added: “I finished the 13 weeks and lost ten kilos, it was great. I’m out walking about again and one of the things for me is not being embarrassed to take my jacket off, and the fact I have clothes that now fit me again”.
