Look whose amazing story has been picked up by the Chronicle! ❤️🥰❤️

My amazing member Laura ❤️ Lush lady and a proper inspiration.

Check it out! 😍

Mum Laura Baldock was left "mortified" when she was turned away from a fairground ride due to her size has lost over 5st.

She has never been able to forget the moment she couldn't go on a ride at Ocean Beach Pleasure Park, in South Shields, because the safety bar wouldn't fit over her.

Over the years the mum-of-two, from Langley Park, had lost her sense of identity.

She has tried losing weight at home and had managed to shed 3st, although over time she became stuck, unmotivated and uncertain how to move forward.

Laura, 35, said: "I stopped seeing the happy moments. Whenever I looked at pictures with my girls, I looked at me first — not their beautiful little faces. I didn’t recognise myself in the mirror. I wanted me back."

That moment — combined with the weight of what they had survived as a family — pushed her to open a new chapter.

And in her first week returning back to Slimming World after almost a decade, Laura lost 8.5lbs and is now more than 5st lighter.

She added: "At South Shields, I once got turned away from a ride because the bar wouldn’t close over me. I was mortified. Recently, I went back — and this time, I got straight on. I did it because I could.”

On the night before the scales, a plea from me…Please eat normally on weigh day 👏

If you’ve ever thought you need to avoid food before an evening weigh in, 😢 if you get weighed on a morning and you know it’s 7 days till next weigh day so that day potentially doesn’t count (pssst it deffo does 😋)

This isn’t healthy eating… it isn’t food optimising… it’s DIETING😢 and goes against everything we want for you at Slimming World ❤️

• Please don’t skip meals on weigh day 😢

• Your body deserves steady fuel and your results will still come 😃

• Eating regularly keeps your metabolism happy, your mood steady, and your journey sustainable❤️❤️❤️

• You’re building a lifestyle not a one‑day performance for the scales 😍

With love ❤️ Vic xx
