MEET THE MEMBER
Our very own member KimMagic Buckley who has lost an impressive 5st tells her story …
After 17 months, I’ve finally reached my target weight — and lost 5 stone along the way.�It still feels surreal to say it out loud. I started my Slimming World journey for one reason….my health. I was struggling with back issues and had to rely on walking poles for support. I felt unfit, unhappy, and disconnected from myself. I couldn’t look in the mirror without cringing, and I became an expert at dodging cameras. I just didn’t recognise the person I’d become — physically or emotionally.
Joining Sue’s 5:30 Monday group was the turning point I didn’t know I needed.
The support, kindness, and genuine encouragement I found there changed everything. And our lovely consultant, Sue… she has been nothing short of amazing. Week after week, she helped me believe in myself a little more, kept me focused when I wobbled, and celebrated every small win with me. I truly couldn’t have reached my target without that incredible group network around me.
What I discovered is that Slimming World really is easy to follow — once you get your head in the game and give yourself permission to put you first.
Taking the time to focus on what makes you happy, what nourishes your body, and what builds your confidence transforms the whole experience from a “diet” into a way of living.
And now? I feel like a different person.�I feel lighter — not just physically, but mentally.�More confident.�More capable.�More me.
For the first time in at least eight years, I can honestly say: I feel happy.
Here’s to new beginnings, healthier habits, and rediscovering the joy that was hiding underneath it all.
If you feel that support is just what you need, then come along and Join Us.
