John Amabile joins as the Celebrity of W8 For Life

John Amabile's track record speaks for itself, with over a decade's experience as a design presenter on some of the UK's top TV Makeover shows, including ITV'S "60 Minute Makeover".

But whilst John's creativity and design flair make design makeover projects plain sailing, John has experienced over two decades of frustration when attempting his own "makeovers".

It was spring 2008 when John's frustration finally got to him. John explains "I stepped onto the scales and was horrified to discover that I had hit 16 stone. That was nearly 5 stone overweight for my 5ft 9in frame" John, 44, explains "Having tried EVERY diet out there (and battled with my weight for over 25 years!). I wanted something that would get me back on track safely, efficiently and quickly, as well as giving me the tools to choose options for a healthier lifestyle." "In the past, I've been ok at losing a few pounds but then I have found that not only have I put this on, but a whole lot more as well. All About W8 has enabled me to achieve ALL of my goals".

So in place of John's 60 minute makeover there is a "60lb makeover", as he now weighs in at 11st 10lb. Amazingly this was achieved in a twelve week timescale, having been introduced to All About W8 through a friend who had used it to shed her extra pounds.

Having looked at the different options available, John chose the 12-week plan, followed by the 9-week maintenance programme. (Details of all the programmes can be found at www.allaboutw8.co.uk ). "I found that my weekly weigh-ins helped a great deal" explains John." I went to a local All About W8 group and the Consultant gave me great advice and encouragement. This was a key factor in ensuring that I achieved ALL my goals".
