💫 Two Friends. Two Journeys. One Amazing Transformation! 💫
22 months ago, Jo and Tanya walked through the Slimming World doors just one week apart. They sat together every week, weighed together, and supported each other through every high and low. Jo joined first and became the big smile and helping hand that kept Tanya from running away that first night.
Fast forward to today… they’ve both reached target weight — just one week apart! 🎯
Together, they’ve lost 8½ stone forever and gained something priceless: a friendship neither expected.
Jo says:
“I walked back through the Slimming World doors in February 2024 feeling nervous and ashamed after what felt like yet another failed attempt. But alongside that shame was relief and hope. I wasn’t in a good place, and then I was told I needed surgery for hyperparathyroidism — something that terrified me. I knew I had to lose weight to give myself the best chance. Becoming a Grandma gave me even more motivation. Walking into group was the best decision I made. That’s where I met Tanya — and from that moment, we supported each other every step of the way.”
Tanya shares:
“I joined Slimming World to improve my relationship with food and my mental health. I was terrified, cried all over my consultant, and then sat next to Jo — the best thing that could have happened. Slimming World gave me my life back. I’m no longer scared to leave my house, I feel confident, and I’ve gained control. It’s not just about food and weight — it’s about finding strength and support.”
Jo and Tanya, you are both incredible. Your determination, courage, and friendship show what’s possible when you take that first step. 💕
If you’re thinking about starting, remember this:
It doesn’t matter how many times you’ve tried before. What matters is the moment you decide you’re worth trying again.
