Muscle-strengthening activities are brilliant for slimmers as muscle helps our bodies burn calories 💪. And it’s particularly helpful for weight maintenance in our 50s and beyond, when we naturally begin to lose muscle mass. As well as using weights, carrying heavy bags 🛍️, yoga 🧘🏽‍♀️ and even heavy gardening 🌻 counts. Muscle strengthening is one of 5 active habits that could transform your health, and you’ll learn more about all of them at brough group x

It's that time of year...autumn is on it's way, kids are back at school, we start to reflect on our summer choices and decide to focus on what we might want to achieve over the next few months as far as weight loss and getting healthier goes.

And so around about now we'll start to read more about weight loss pills, potions and patches that cost an absolute fortune.

So let's look at it logically...all diets work...of course they do...if you're consuming less calories than you were you are going to see a weight loss.

But not all diets are healthy.

And what happens when you stop that diet, stop taking the pills and the potions? What then? It's not rocket science is it? Go back to your old eating habits and the weight will go back on. Simple.

Because firstly, some of those diets are just not sustainable long term.

And secondly, if you haven't learned anything about the psychology of yourself as a Slimmer, if you haven't learned about food and how it's possible to eat normal, everyday food and still lose weight just by getting the balance right, if you haven't learned about the part activity plays in a healthy lifestyle and if you haven't learned how much fun you can have and how much support you can get while doing all those things nothing will ever change.

So, unless you're really happy to keep dieting forever or taking the pills forever or you seriously just want a quick fix that won't last, then we need to find a different way.

A realistic way. Not a diet but a healthy way of eating that we CAN keep doing forever. We need to change our eating habits so that we can still enjoy our food (because food isn't a bad thing!), so that we can still lose weight and so that we can keep that weight off when we reach our target.

And that's what Slimming World's food optimising plan does. It's a healthy way of eating that we can enjoy and one that, when combined with our invidividual activity programme, can help you have that fantabulous healthy lifestyle. And our unique Image Therapy sessions provide the inspiration, motivation, help, support and fun that is so important to help you do that too.

You really won't find all that in a pill bottle! xx

If you aren't making progress, perhaps it's time to make time for yourself? Members who regularly stay to Group lose more weight and stay more focused. Fact.

Think that Group is boring or that it's just a load of talking about what people have eaten this week? Or that it takes far too long? Maybe you reckon it's just not for you?

Well, the chances are that you are missing out - BIG TIME! Here is why staying to Group regularly is so vital:

🍇 It's time for you, to think about you and the things you want for yourself
🍈 It's time to plan for the week ahead
🍉 It's a safe place where you can think about areas that you might be self sabotaging, and get help to address these
🍊 You meet like-minded and supportive people who cheer on your losses with enthusiasm because nobody understands how hard it is, better than your fellow members
🍋 You hear from Target members about their experiences - and get the inspiration from real life stories
🍌 Fellow members' struggles are brilliant to learn from; you will hear advice tips and strategies from others in the Group who have been there and 'get it'
🍍 The knowledge that even if you can't identify 100% with every situation right now, the tips will be invaluable if you encounter similar in future
🍎 Food learning and ideas (because we ALL have food ruts at times and complacency can be a slippery slope)
🍐If you are struggling with motivation (you can get help to tackle it head on, with our motivational tool kit) n.b. I can't help you if you aren't there!
🍑 If you are doing well, you could wander off with a heaving basket of free food as our Slimmer of the Week
🍏 There is often a theme or discussion in group that can really help you to handle anything that life throws at you - from after-work drinks to a grandchild's birthday party, from day trips out to working long shifts
🍓 You will find that you make friends and look forward to seeing your people - you'll soon find that it's another reason to want to come to Group
🥝 Finally you'll get me 🙈😂. I'm not perfect but I am committed to each of my members, and in Group I will be your greatest cheerleader and do my utmost to get you whatever support, help, advice that you need. I am passionate about getting you to achieve your dreams and there simply is no better way to get there, than by Food Optimising.

🥕You will lose more weight 🌽you will be empowered to make better choices 🥔you'll be armed with great knowledge 🍆you'll feel a difference in your mental toughness, confidence and resilience.

More energy, stronger, enthusiastic, proud… just some of the things male members tell us they experience on their weight loss journey. In fact, our survey showed that after losing weight with Slimming World, men felt more energetic, happier with their physique and more confident to have s*x. They also reported having more s*x since joining Slimming World!

Have you stepped away from group?

One of the saddest parts of being a Slimming World Consultant is saying "goodbye" to those members, who for whatever reason stepped away from group ❤️

Sometimes it is because you feel your journey isn't going the way you wanted, other times it is to try a different weight loss method in the hope that it will reignite your passion and that you will find the way to achieve your dream weight.

I used to do the same, doing every weight loss method out there, stepping away whenever my journey stalled and one of my personal regrets is that I didn’t work out sooner that if I want to get there I need to keep going.

There is no magic 'diet', no magic wand - it is down to me!

So where are you now.......

Clothes tight?
Lacking Energy?
Low Confidence and self esteem?
Is your smile the "pretend I'm happy one" over the genuine one?
Aches and pains?
Dread the camera being pointed at you?
Always the one in the background?

Are you regretting stepping away from group? then PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE step back and make a decision you will not regret.

If you do decide to come back, there will be no judgement, just a big smile and oodles of help and support

Dear new, returning or thinking about joining members ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Whatever the reason we haven't seen you for a while, or you put off joining, we really can't wait to welcome you through our doors 😍

It's a busy time of year, as we all start thinking ahead for Summer.

I just wanted to add something to the mix.......

This post is for all you members out there who are 'thinking' of rejoining us at group this coming week and next.

And in 'thinking' I mean you're saying to yourself........

"Oh my goodness! I haven't been in ages, and I've put all the weight I lost back on. I've rejoined so many times now, I’m embarrassed and I'm terrified of what they'll think at group".

These feelings are what keep us down, but rest assured that in our groups, and indeed EVERY single Slimming World group, you’ll be welcomed back with a smile and open arms like you're an old friend, and MOST importantly there is no shame, blame or humiliation (as these are not words in our world).

So, pick yourself up, dust yourself off and prove to yourself (as nobody else really matters) what you're made of and who knows.

My groups are :
❤️Tuesday 5pm & 6.45pm
