Eyenun’s Digital Weight Management Journey

Eyenun has been attending the NHS Digital Weight Management Programme with Xyla and has seen some amazing changes since starting their journey. They have been happy to share with us some of their experiences and results.

What have you found useful about the Wellbeing Way App?

All the resources and coach sessions were useful, and the app was easy to use.

What do you find useful about your coaching calls with your Registered Healthcare Professional? Have you felt supported throughout the process?

Yes, I felt I could talk about any issues I had along my journey and is it important to keep those appointments if you really want to lose weight.

What changes did you make to your lifestyle, e.g. exercise routine, dietary, habits…?

I attend the gym regularly. My diet includes lots of fruit and veg, alongside my lifestyle i.e. waking up/going to bed at a certain time – routine is very important.

“The app was easy to use”

Have you accessed any local services (i.e. leisure centres, exercise on referral) due to this programme?

Yes, I joined the local leisure centre and have completed a number activities there.

What is your favourite part of the programme, why?

Losing weight is my favourite part which gives me strength to continue this programme.

What challenges did you face with the programme, and how did you overcome them?

When I became ill, I fell behind but as soon as I felt better my main aim was to read the resources and other support on the programme to help me get into my weight loss habit.

What changes have you seen in any measurements that have been taken? E.g. HBa1c, waist measurement, weight, clothes size etc…

My waist is smaller, and my clothes are baggy.

Would you, or have you, recommended the programme to others? Why?

Yes, I would recommend this weight loss programme to anyone who needs it.

“I felt I could talk about any issues I had along my journey”

What would you say to those who are thinking about joining the programme?

Don’t think about it – do it now.

Are there any other comments you wish to make about your experience?

I hope my experience would encourage others to follow and get fit/healthy too.
