Celebrating Success: Transform Your Health - In 12 Weeks!

We're delighted to share the success of the first group to complete Transform Your Health - In 12 Weeks! 

Run by Lochaber Hope and funded by Multiply, a Scottish Government initiative, this 12-week course has helped participants improve their health whilst developing practical numeracy skills through the equation for healthy living.

Over the weeks, the group worked with a qualified personal trainer to discover how simple maths can help with meal planning, tracking fitness goals, and understanding food labels. It's been inspiring to see how these skills have made a real difference in their daily lives.

What We Achieved Together

During the course, participants:

• Created personalised food and fitness plans tailored to their own goals.

• Built confidence in everyday maths, such as calculating portion sizes, tracking calories, and managing hydration.

• Learned how to measure progress, making it easier to stay motivated.

• Shared meals, ideas, and encouragement in a friendly, supportive environment.

• Mastered nutrition basics, including food labels, macronutrients, and healthy fats.

• Sharpened numeracy skills through calorie counting, macronutrient calculations, serving size measurements, and nutritional content analysis.

  
  

This course wasn't just about learning; it was about building confidence and creating healthier habits for the future.

Looking Ahead

This course has shown how a bit of maths can go a long way when it comes to living a healthier lifestyle. We're so proud of everything our participants have achieved and look forward to running more courses like this, thanks to funding from Multiply.

The skills learned extend far beyond the program. Participants can continue to apply their newfound numeracy skills in various aspects of their lives:

• Grocery shopping: Confidently compare prices, calculate discounts, and make budget-friendly choices.

• Meal preparation: Easily adjust recipes for different serving sizes and track nutritional content.

• Financial planning: Apply mathematical skills to budgeting and saving for health-related goals.

• Fitness tracking: Monitor progress over time, set achievable targets, and adjust workout plans as needed.

  
  

By mastering these practical numeracy skills, participants are empowered to make informed decisions about their health and well-being for years to come. The confidence gained from this course can also inspire further learning and personal growth in other areas of life.

Here's to healthier habits, stronger skills, and more success stories to come!
