How Life Back works
1. Choose your reason
Write down what you want to do more easily. Be specific enough that you can tell when something has changed.
2. Check in honestly
Record your own ratings for energy, sleep, confidence, movement, clothes and progress towards your personal goal. These are your impressions, not a medical assessment.
3. Keep a small win
Record something that went better: joining a walk, finding an easier routine or doing something you'd put off. You can look back at your saved check-ins.
More energy for the day. Feeling comfortable in your clothes. Saying yes to something you have been avoiding. Life Back gives those reasons a place alongside your weight.
Choose a personal goal, record how things feel and keep the small wins you might otherwise forget. Life Back is already part of My Timber.
Start with something that means something to you
Choose something that matters to you, however ordinary it sounds. “Join in with the kids in the park.” “Feel comfortable going out with friends.” “Get back to a hobby I miss.” These are examples to help you find your own words, not promises about what SHIFT will achieve for you.
A number on the scales can be useful. It cannot tell the whole story of an ordinary Tuesday, a family day out or the confidence it takes to turn up.
A worked example — not a member result
Your goal: “Join in more with the kids.” You save an honest check-in and choose food planning as the help you need.
My Next Shift: choose one straightforward meal in Grub. Your existing Today card keeps that action. Opening a page does not mark it done; you decide what you tried or completed.
Next time: Life Back asks whether that particular step helped, did not fit your week, or has not been tried yet. You can skip the question. SHIFT keeps, simplifies or repeats the action from your answer without changing your treatment.
Turn a check-in into one useful next step
Once a week, look at your goal and latest check-in. What helped? What got harder? Choose one manageable action for the week ahead. If something felt worse, record that too.
- Use Grub when planning food is the practical problem.
- Use Fit to explore movement that fits your circumstances.
- Use My Journey to keep your wider priorities together.
- Use SHIFT Health to explore a health concern and the appropriate next step.
A falling rating can be useful information too. Persistent or worrying symptoms need a conversation with a healthcare professional; a tracker cannot explain their cause.
Support through treatment changes
Life Back can be used whether you are exploring treatment, taking it or coming off it. Your personal goal does not disappear when a prescription changes.
When the clinic goes quiet, SHIFT stays on: the practical tools, your saved progress and our coming-off guidance remain part of your Programme. Medicine decisions and clinical follow-up belong with your prescriber or GP. SHIFT does not prescribe or provide an emergency service.

A useful record, with honest limits
Life Back records what you tell it. Its ratings do not diagnose a condition, prove that a medicine is working or guarantee weight maintenance. A check-in is not a request for a clinician to review you.
