"3 stone down and a much healthier relationship with food"
“I had spent decades losing and regaining the same weight. At 50 years old, I was very overweight, unhealthy and very unhappy about it all. I knew I couldn’t continue the same cycle of restriction, loss and inevitable gain. I had tried every diet going and wanted to find a different approach and to stop dieting.
Online Coaching with Hayley was where I turned, and I have learned so much from it. The fundamental thing Hayley helped me change was my mindset and my ‘all or nothing’ thinking. Hayley gave me feedback on my food and activity diary which helped me make small but accumulative improvements. She has expert knowledge of nutrition and fitness – especially regarding perimenopause – and translates this into doable actions.
I no longer see food as good or bad – I now have a much healthier relationship with my body and food. Having lost over 3 stone and 3 dress sizes over the last 8 months, online coaching has given me so much more confidence in the new stronger, healthier me.
I cannot recommend Hayley highly enough. She is amazingly kind, a wonderful cheerleader, and helped me turn a bad day or an overeating episode into an opportunity to learn, and still keep moving towards the future me! If you are thinking of working with Hayley, please do it; you will not regret it!”

"I have learnt so much about good habits, nutrition and fitness"
"Before working with Hayley, I would try these crazy diets that I just couldn’t stick to, my weight would fluctuate and I would feel guilty after over indulging. However Hayley has massively helped me to overcome that.
I found the support super helpful, and have learnt so much about good habits and nutrition and fitness. Hayley has taught me to find the positives out of my week, and to not dwell on the negatives.
This was a game changer for me, and I feel a lot happier within myself for it. I have learned a lot about the kind of foods and meals that work well for me on my fat loss journey.
Hayley has been a great motivation when it comes to exercise as well, I stuck to her plans and found I was getting stronger each week. This has been the longest that I have been consistently active. Previously, I would have stopped eating well and exercising after about 1 month but I have managed to stay consistent for 4 months now.
Without Hayley I don’t think I would be where I am now… I lost 1st in 3 months and have noticed significant differences in my body and my mindset. Thank you Hayley!"

"If you’re thinking of working with Hayley, then do!"
For years I had been vowing that this would be the one where I got back into all my Winter/Summer clothes and somehow another year went by without it happening.
In Autumn last year, I finally contacted Hayley to make enquiries but unbelievably, still didn’t sign up. However, even at that first stage, Hayley demonstrated how supportive and encouraging she is. She applied zero pressure on me to commit to anything but sign-posted me to lots of free resources and her brilliant Podcast.
She encouraged, held me accountable but also helped me to discover what was the best way to eat and move for me – it’s not a one-size-fit-all approach. The weekly check-ins and reflections made all the difference, and I found myself really looking forward to that weekly half hour to keep me on track and make progress.
Somehow the three months just flew by, and I now fit into all my old clothes again which has really bought me a lot of happiness; the joy of opening my wardrobe and thinking ‘what do I fancy wearing?’ rather than ‘What can I squeeze into?’ really makes for a great start to the day.
However, the biggest surprise has been the change to my overall well-being and energy levels. Before I started with Hayley, I thought these were just fine, I was already quite sporty and not especially overweight. However, this is the best I have ever felt since having children nearly 17 years ago and I’m just getting so much more done.
If you’re like I was and keep reading these reviews thinking you’d like to sign up but feeling you have a family and can’t justify the money, or that if you just try a little bit harder or try another new eating plan you can do it this time, then all I can say is, don’t waste another year of your life – just sign up. Working with Hayley is an investment that you and your whole family will benefit from.
I feel like I’m setting a really good example to my teenage daughter, I have the energy when I get in from work to be present with my children and I’ve even picked up some old hobbies. And of course, it is a LOT cheaper than replacing your wardrobe. Thank you, Hayley!

"Coaching from Hayley was one of the best decisions I've ever made."
I've been losing and then gaining weight for many years now and I was exhausted and needed help stopping that cycle. Hayley taught me a lot about food composition, the impact on my body and how to navigate eating out without feeling like I'd lost control.
I no longer see food as good or bad, or starve myself during the week so I can eat out at the weekends. I feel great and for the first time in my 40 years, I feel in control of my body.
Carie

































"I think I can safely say Hayley has changed my life."
"After being concerned about eating healthily for my age (I turned 60 this year) and wanting to lose about half a stone, I signed up with Hayley just before Christmas (I know!!) 2021.
I think I can safely say Hayley has changed my life.
I'm feeling quite good about my fitness, strength and my body shape now, and did manage to lose that half a stone too!
Highly recommended!"

"It is such a gift to be at peace in my mind with food"
“I started with Hayley at the beginning of February 2022. My goal was to not be controlled by emotional eating, lose weight and be fitter. I felt a bit lost on what food was good for my body. I felt my body had changed since going into my 40s and the perimenopause.
Due to the guidance Hayley has given me to provide me with a balanced, nutritious diet, I am no longer hungry in between meals. So, the pull to eat chocolate because I am hungry is no longer there. I used to also eat chocolate and sugary snacks after a difficult session with a client (I am a counsellor), or something else had upset me.
My mind told me that ‘I deserve a treat, to reward or cheer myself up’. My mind no longer thinks like that. I had a difficult session the other day, and I had a fruit tea, then went back to work. I didn’t even think about having a ‘reward treat’. Chocolate now sits in the cupboard, like any other food item.
Previously going on diets, I would have binge ate all the ‘bad’ foods, before starting on my diet. This is no longer the case. No food is off limits. It is instead, deciding 'do I want to eat it' and if so, plan it into my day. It is about consistency each day, and I have not ‘blown it’ if I have a day, I eat a lot of food that are high in calories.
It is such a gift to be at peace in my mind over food, after years of ‘on and off’ dieting. In the 3 months I have lost 8lbs, and enjoying a stronger, fitter body that will carry me into my 50s!”

"49lbs down, and enjoying the foods I love guilt-free"
I have been working with Hayley since March 2021 after many years of yoyo dieting.
When I found Hayley’s website, it really spoke to me. I could see that here was someone who would understand the concerns of a 49-year old woman – aging, approaching menopause, busy life with teenage children, work and too many commitments.
Some of the best aspects of the journey: discovering mindful eating, not trying to be perfect, the support and encouragement in the Facebook group, enjoying food without feeling guilty, and making exercise and getting fit a pleasure, not a chore.
The weekly check-ins have been so helpful, with feedback on my week tailored specifically to me.
Since starting to work with Hayley in March, I have lost 49lbs and reached my goal weight for the first time. I have shifted the way I eat for the better, and walk more than ever before.
But most importantly, I allow myself to eat some of the higher calorie, less nutritious foods and it does not mean that my healthy eating is over.
I choose when to have some delicious cake, and the next meal I make a less sugar filled choice and continue. I don’t let it derail me. This is why I truly believe that I have lost the weight properly and sustainably.
One of my goals when I started was to be able to tuck in my tops into my trousers. I always tuck my tops in now for the first time in my life, and I feel confident doing it!
Thank you, Hayley, for all your support.

"Working with Hayley was a wonderful and rewarding experience, and I'm so glad that I decided to do this for myself!"
Over the last five months, I have achieved my goals of losing weight (12 pounds and 3.5 inches around my midsection) while gaining strength, and so much more. I was fortunate to have a lot of equipment at home but was totally new to strength training.
I have not only gained strength but also a lot of knowledge and confidence, and really look forward to my three strength training sessions each week. I am now doing exercises that I never thought I would be able to do and am lifting more weight than I ever imagined (e.g. barbell sumo deadlifts with over 100 lbs and full push ups for the first time ever!), and am continuing to make progress every week.
Hayley encouraged me to walk daily, which I love to do while listening to a podcast (another thing that she introduced me to!). I gained a much better understanding of calories and the importance of eating enough protein but have not felt restricted nutrition wise and still enjoy the same treats.
I feel stronger and much happier with my body (and in general!), and know that I will continue to stick with the sensible and sustainable habits that Hayley helped me develop for the rest of my life."
Kate

































"I have lost 60lbs so far and can honestly say it has been without deprivation or a painful exercise regime (my previous default system)."
Life is so much better after learning not to use food as an emotional crutch.
I've just achieved my goal holiday of 6 days of walking in the fabulous Lake District. Around 180,000 steps completed and me and the dogs have been up pretty high.
Sharon

































"From start to finish the coaching with Hayley has been one of the best things I've done! Her support & encouragement throughout has been amazing. Such a positive experience which resulted in me reaching my goal weight loss.
I want to thank Hayley for her support, for listening to me waffle on during our zoom calls, for all the helpful suggestions not only about food choices but about mindset, podcasts to listen to, books to read - it's definitely given me tools to use going forward.
Amanda

































Working with Hayley has absolutely turned my life around. I asked her for accountability and I got that in spades with regular check-ins and ongoing review of my food and exercise diary.
“She never judged me and when I had a few difficult days over Christmas she helped me see this was not a complete disaster, merely a temporary blip.
I have lost 28lbs, dropped 2 dress sizes, and found my own way through Hayley's guidance. Now I feel confident enough to continue with the tools and knowledge I've gained. I cannot recommend too highly partnering up with her!"
Michele

































For the last 10 years I've wasted time and money doing fad diets, doing well short term but then as soon as I went slightly off plan, gained the weight back, plus a bit more, and came away learning nothing.
“Then I found Hayley and it all changed! She gives you the knowledge and tools you need for sustainable weight loss.
I am halfway through my journey and have lost just over 2 stone.
I am a mother of a young child and I have two chronic illnesses but this wasn't an issue as Hayley supported me and understood my challenges.
I want anyone considering working with Hayley to just do it because it IS possible to lose weight, get healthy, be happy AND still enjoy chocolate!”

It’s made such an incredible difference & I’m building long-term healthy habits
"I started online coaching with Hayley in January 2019. I was really keen to get fit, get stronger and lose weight, but I also wanted it to be sustainable.
I’m a busy mum, but I set my alarm (in case the children aren’t up!) for 6 and get a home session in before the day kicks off, it sets me up for the day & has become a routine.
Hayley’s advice and support is fabulous. I don’t think I’m dieting or depriving myself of anything. Being able to make good nutrition and exercise choices has really changed my thinking and keeping the consistency going.
I am really enjoying the journey and feeling as fit as I am. Seeing these photos a year apart is really motivating too.
I’d like to say a huge thank you to Hayley, it’s made such an incredible difference & I’m building long-term healthy habits.
Rachel
I’m full of energy, enjoy life to the full, and no back pain!
"In January 2019 I felt that my weight made me like a disabled person. I was so limited physically, had back pain, and didn’t like myself. I followed Hayley but put off getting help from her because I couldn’t cope with having a photo taken!
Having yo-yo dieted all my life Hayley’s way took some getting used too, now it’s my way of life. I plan my week, specially any difficult days. I eat delicious colourful meals, enjoy things I used to think of as “bad” occasionally with no guilt. Not complicated but with support it really helps. I needed to be accountable, but I also love the encouragement and advice whenever I need it.
I still have lots to lose but I love this journey, it’s changed my life. I walk early every morning & love it. I can exercise, I’m full of energy, enjoy life to the full, and no back pain! I have confidence & joy in life. So many adventures to be had in 2020.
Gill
I'm 50lbs down!
50lbs down, 50 to go… but feeling amazing! Who knew that just planning your food in advance could make such a difference – such a simple thing to do and I can honestly say it is the route to my success so far.
Katie
I have lost 4 stone
"Doing CFL with Hayley has been completely life changing and is without a doubt the best thing I have ever done for myself. I have lost 4 stone and am at my initial target size 14 from a size 20 and still happily on the plan.
The most important thing for me, and what makes me most proud is that I have given my daughters the best chance of having a more healthy relationship with food than I have had.
Food now has its correct place in my life. I understand nutrition, how to balance what I eat and how much I do and when I have a treat it tastes better than ever because there’s no shame and no guilt, just well deserved, delicious pleasure without the fear that I won’t be able to stop.
I WANT to eat well, to feel good and be healthy. I don’t want the way I eat to affect my health or the enjoyment (or length!!) of my life any more.
I am proud of myself and who I am now – I can wear the sorts of clothes I like, not just what covers me up.
I will try things and do things with my daughters I would have been too self-conscious to do last year.
I stand in for a photo and actually smile and don’t dread seeing what I look like.
No matter how much you’ve struggled, if you want to make a change and commit to it – you can do it, trust me."
Claire
My mental and emotional well-being has benefited so much
"Before starting online coaching, I was struggling with pretty much constant binge eating. Hungry and tired after work, I’d got myself into a habit of eating a big bar of chocolate on the bus on the way home from work after being ‘good’ until that point in the day. Then, disappointed, I’d cheer myself up with anything else I fancied, thinking I’d start tomorrow/next week/after my holiday. The thought of having to deny myself the things I craved and the three stone I wanted to lose was too much.
All I had been focusing on before that had been the foods that I couldn’t eat, and feeling a failure when I couldn’t maintain it. I found out from Hayley that I’d been doing so many things the hard way... 20 years of the same light, not very nutritious breakfast that left me hungry mid-morning and not exercising effectively as the gym to name just two.
The biggest difference is that the time to get back on track has got shorter. It’s not possible to eat ‘perfect’ healthy meals and snacks and work out every day, but you don’t have to. All of the points that Hayley teaches you, together, make up a healthy lifestyle. If you slide on one thing, make it up on another, and keep going.
But it took me time to learn, and I couldn’t have done it without the support and reminders and solutions. There are so many things you do that affect your health, weight and well-being. They aren’t the same for everyone. Juggling is easy when it doesn’t matter that you fumble and drop things sometimes. My energy and strength are so much better. ‘Off plan’ can stop at the next choice you make, and you never ‘ruin’ it.
My mindset has finally shifted away from the ‘I’ve ruined it now’ and ‘I’ll start again on Monday’. I walk on my lunch breaks, I think about nutrition and how long something will fill me up for. I think of all the ‘wins’ I can chalk up in a day. I love getting up ridiculously early once a week to have long walks and proper gossips with my sister without losing too much of the day. I also love the same thing alone with an audiobook! The entire experience with Hayley is twice as good as my mental and emotional well-being has benefited so much too.”
Stella
I’ve not only lost nearly two stone, I now truly value myself and now know I’m worth it!
"Since joining Hayley’s Change For Life Programme, I’ve not only lost nearly two stone, I now truly value myself and now know I’m worth it! I’ve taken up running again, regularly attend Claire Park Run, walk a lot more, eat a lot better as I’m wiser on the nutritional value of food, am more confident, happier and smile a lot more.
I think the best thing about the programme is that you can mindfully eat what you want, it makes sense and it’s so simple. Hayley is brilliant! She is caring, compassionate, super knowledgeable and very supportive. That coupled with the support and understanding from the group, weekly check-ins, feedback messages and regular tips and videos from Hayley means that I’d highly recommend her because she quite simply understands and gets it!"
Helen
Lots of people have commented on how much weight I have lost, but most importantly how great I look with it
"I can’t believe how well Hayley’s online coaching program has worked for me! Lots of people have commented on how much weight I have lost, but most importantly how great I look with it. My clothes fit better and tops I had stopped wearing because they clung around my tummy now hang so much better and don’t make me look big anymore.
I would definitely call this a diet lifestyle change rather than going on a diet and I have not counted calories once! I would say to anyone thinking they don’t have time, to go for it as Hayley will tailor the fitness to whatever you can do. Her food plans and tips are brilliant especially for what to keep around the house so you never have to fall off the wagon.
I love how I can also still enjoy alcohol and eating out and I have learnt that I have to just plan and adjust elsewhere.
Before doing this I thought I had to calorie count and slog it out in gym sessions with a personal trainer to lose weight but this has been a much less stressful way to do it for me personally. And I know I will keep it up as it has been a lifestyle change rather than a diet fad.
I cannot thank Hayley enough for sharing her knowledge and expertise.”
Deb
I got married in a dress I couldn’t get into a few months earlier
"I want to say a massive thank you to Hayley for all her help over the last few months.
I got married in a dress I couldn’t get into a few months earlier (and was since taken in loads!) and I’ve even had strangers at work asking how I’ve lost so much weight.
Thanks a million!"
Abi
I have totally changed my shape and I feel fab
"What can I say about working with Hayley Plummer online, amazing ! I have totally changed my shape and I feel fab. I have far exceeded my expectations and now feel years of yo-yo dieting and hours of cardio are firmly in the past!

I’ve lost 20lbs in weight, dropped from a size 14 to a 10 and got my pre-pregnancy figure back.
"I’m so so happy with my results after completing Hayley’s online Coaching 12 week course. I’ve lost 20 lbs in weight, dropped from a size 14 to a 10 and got my pre-pregnancy figure back.
The weight training programme Hayley set has worked wonders at sculpting and toning my mummy tummy as well as the rest of my body. I’m stronger and fitter all round and finding it 100% easier dealing with the stresses and joys of having a young family.
Can’t thank Hayley enough for her support throughout the process and would recommend her programme to anyone who wants to loose weight, make it a lifestyle change and still enjoy the good things in life.”
Kim
I now actually enjoy exercise, I have more energy, I don’t feel guilty if I go out for a meal, and I don’t even care how much I weigh (Although I have lost 4 dress sizes)
“I had lost weight in the past with WeightWatchers and Rosemary Conley, but as soon as I went back to eating ‘normal’ food, then the weight crept back up. I was also sensible enough to know that supplements, shakes and herbal teas etc are a complete con; there is no magic potion that will solve the problem.
She armed me with loads of recipes that were healthy, satisfying and that the rest of the family enjoy and she talked me through a new way of thinking about food.
I knew I could easily spend money on diet classes that have no long term benefit and a gym membership that I don’t use. As far as I was concerned this was an investment and if I was paying for a tailor-made product, then I had to make it work. That was part of the incentive.
However, this programme offers way more than that. Hayley is there only a phone call or a text away if I have any queries or problems. The online support group is a real encouragement and Hayley’s approach has helped me to develop a completely new mindset.
I now actually enjoy exercise; I have more energy; I don’t feel guilty if I go out for a meal; I don’t even care how much I weigh(although I have lost 4 dress sizes). What I do feel is that I can be the change that I want to see in me and I have Hayley to thank for that. My advice if you’re thinking about investing in something like this is go for it – you’re worth it.”
Deb
I have managed to lose 1/2 stone, feel much lighter around my tummy and more toned overall.
"I am really pleased – I have managed to lose 1/2 stone, feel much lighter around my tummy and more toned overall.
My favourite part of the programme has been to be accountable to someone – especially in my eating and knowing that that was being looked over.
I’ve really enjoyed starting to put in new habits, tools and mindsets of how to live a healthier life. I have educated myself on how in previous experience when I have been my ‘goal’ weight this was just loosing muscle and not body fat. I now know that body fat takes longer to loose in a healthy way, but will stay away permanently. Thank you!"
Sam

































I have achieved my goal and I am now fitting into clothes I was wearing before I got pregnant
“I have achieved my goal and I am now fitting into clothes I was wearing before I got pregnant.
It has also jump-started my mindset so I am now completely committed to getting back down to my wedding weight and going beyond that.
Abi

































I found the experience incredibly positive and motivating
"I approached Hayley after having a break from training in gym and falling back into bad habits with food.
Hayley helped me by offering the online coaching programme. The results were amazing – the online daily food diary, weekly questionnaire and phone call all inspired and supported me to reach my goals.
Sara

































I’m better educated to make the right choices and now it’s a normal part of my lifestyle to do the exercise because I enjoy it
"Hayley has improved my life by 100% and educated me so much on nutrition and fitness.
This is the first time EVER I’ve stuck to any form of fitness and a better lifestyle, because it’s sustainable.
Laura

































I have enjoyed every minute and I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for Hayley's continuous support
“Before I started this journey I was always yo-yo dieting and always failing to lose weight, my head really wasn't in the right place. Then, on Facebook one day, Hayley Plummers website kept popping up and I would have a read every day of the informative information she would write about weight loss and how it should be a lifestyle change and not a diet.
She is such a dedicated and knowledgeable lady and have enjoyed working with her. It has been a great pleasure and would recommend this journey to anyone who wants a healthy lifestyle change with the added bonus of losing the unwanted pounds along the way. Absolutely amazing young lady. Thanks Hayley”
Teresa


































I have surprised myself how small changes in your life can maintain a healthy lifestyle and keep the weight down
“I am so pleased I did this course, I have surprised myself how small changes in your life can maintain a healthy lifestyle and keep the weight down. It doesn’t take a lot to shift a few pounds , and without me even realising I have noticed I automatically run up and down the stairs now at home! Where as before I always felt really sluggish.
Emma


































"I have learnt so much and developed a new mindset"
"When I joined with Hayley, I thought that I would loose weight…What I have actually achieved is so much more! I have learnt about sleep, mental health, mindset, steps, protein, portion sizes, tracking, planning ahead and gym routines.
