About Us
About Y's WeightT And Its People
Our purpose is to free individuals from diets, cravings and negative beliefs. Supporting individuals to regain control over their weight issues. We train our Franchisees to follow our unique system so they too can help people to lose weight and break free from the misery of yo-yo dieting.
Y's Weight® was set up in June 2002. The following year the business had generated such good results for clients that, realising we could only help a fraction of those requiring a permanent solution, we decided to expand the company through franchising. The first group of Franchisees were trained in October 2004.
Everyone involved in Y's Weight is highly motivated by making a real positive difference to the lives of others.
Our Values We believe our values influence everything we do. For us these include:
Personal Freedom
- Being free from limiting beliefs and behaviours that hold us back from being the whole, healthy people we are intended to be.
Balance- Achieving positive health by taking account of every aspect of our lives as well as maintaining a healthy life/work balance.
Enjoyment!- Our passion for what we do is infectious!
Learning and personal growth- Actively seeking and applying new learning that works.
Creativity and Individuality- We are not clones of each other! We are unique, individual and creative beings.
Co-operation and respect for each individual- For our clients and ourselves.
We do not have a statement of 'Mission' and 'Values', which sits in a drawer and has no effect on how we operate.
We know that Y's Weight® clients soon regain control of their weight management issues and that they experience positive life-style changes through their own practice of our methods. We create a culture of independence and shared learning for everyone.
We have established long-term relationships with our clients, because they enjoy being part of the Y's Weight community!
Because learning is important to us, our consultants work together to share successful practices. As an organisation we are continually evaluating new practices and methods, which enhance our work with our clients.
We value the individuality of our people. We recruit highly skilled and creative individuals and we promote and enhance their creativity through shared learning experiences. The relationship with the client is key.
We actively seek co-operation with other experts who share the same values and choose to collaborate with us to add to our offering to our clients.
We are proud of our links with professional organisations such as TOAST (The Obesity Awareness and Solutions Trust) and the NCFED (The National Centre For Eating Disorders). Both of these organisations are recognised leaders in the field of weight management in the UK, and this helps ensure Y's Weight® is always kept up-to-date with the industry.
The core team which continue to be the key drivers behind this successful business.
