Welcome To The Shed and Shine Weight Loss Studio

Welcome to My Journey!

Hi, I’m Fiona. My path towards understanding weight loss began in my teenage years, and as I step into my 40s, I’ve grown weary of chasing after fleeting diets and grueling exercise routines. Instead, I sought to delve into the science behind long-term weight loss. Enrolling in the Diploma of The Science of Effective Weight Loss was a pivotal moment for me—it was like a light bulb turned on, revealing the reasons behind my eating habits over the years.

I discovered that coaching and support are vital in this journey, something many of you may recognize if you’ve ever been part of programs like Weight Watchers or Jenny Craig. With my experience as a mentor coach, I have guided countless individuals in achieving their professional aspirations, and now I am thrilled to extend my support to those aiming to reach their personal weight loss goals.

I’m not a size 8 model; I’m a real woman, a size 12-14 (depending on the day), navigating this journey alongside you. If you value a healthy dose of laughter, genuine compassion, and empathetic guidance—as well as the commitment required for personal change—then I’m here for you! Together, let’s embark on this transformative journey. Let’s get started!

Why Stop Dieting and Embrace a Support-Focused Program?

1. Sustainable Change: Traditional dieting often promotes quick fixes and temporary weight loss. A support-focused program encourages lasting lifestyle changes that you can maintain long-term, moving beyond restrictive eating and extreme workouts.
2. Accountability: Having a support system keeps you accountable. When you share your goals with others and have regular check-ins, you’re more likely to stay committed and motivated, making it easier to stay on track.
3. Personalized Guidance: Support-focused programs often provide personalized recommendations that are tailored to your unique preferences and circumstances. This means you can find food and exercise choices that work specifically for you, making the process more enjoyable and effective.
4. Emotional Support: Weight loss journeys can be challenging, both physically and emotionally. Connecting with a supportive community or coach offers encouragement and understanding, helping to navigate the ups and downs without feeling isolated.
5. Knowledge and Empowerment: Instead of following strict rules, support-focused programs educate you about nutrition, exercise, and healthy habits, empowering you to make informed decisions. Understanding the science behind weight loss can foster a more positive relationship with food.
6. Positive Mindset: By shifting the focus from restrictions to building a healthy lifestyle, you cultivate a more positive mindset. This fosters self-acceptance and decreases the cycle of guilt and shame often associated with dieting.
7. Flexible Approach: A support-oriented program emphasizes flexibility, allowing for occasional indulgences without derailing progress. This approach makes it easier to enjoy life while still working towards your goals.
8. Community Connection: Engaging with others who share similar goals fosters a sense of community and belonging. It can be motivating to share experiences, celebrate successes, and overcome challenges together.

Transitioning away from dieting and adopting a support-focused program creates an environment for sustainable growth, emotional support, and lasting change. It’s about creating healthier habits, fostering accountability, and building a lifestyle that promotes overall well-being. Your journey towards health and wellness should be as enjoyable as the destination!
