βοΈ Amanda whos lost 5 st 12Β½lbs, my amazing lass who put herself 1st, deciding this time was her time.. read her story in her words below! βοΈ
Soβ¦ after years of struggling with my weight and being on and off Slimming World for about 8 years, I can finally say it β Iβve lost 5 stone 12Β½lbs and I actually believe in myself for the first time ever! π
Iβve always been the one to lose weight, then fall off the wagon, make excuses, or put everyone else first. But after summer 2024, when I hated how I looked and how uncomfortable I felt, I knew something had to change. This time I said, βenough is enoughβ β and honestly, itβs the best decision Iβve ever made.
The biggest thing Iβve learned? Organisation is everything. My fridge is always stocked, and I even write syn values on packets with a Sharpie so there are no excuses when Iβm in a rush. π
I donβt always manage to stay to group (thanks to work and kidsβ clubs!) but whenever I do, I come away with new ideas, food finds, and loads of motivation. The support in group makes such a difference β itβs never about judgement, just encouragement. π
Iβm not a fancy cook at all β Iβm all about quick and easy meals! My go-to is a Mayflower chicken curry or a big baked potato with different fillings and a side salad. Simple, but it works for me.
And now? Iβm the lightest Iβve ever been in all my Slimming World journeys β and I feel amazing. The confidence Iβve gained is just unreal.
If anyone in Lennoxtown (or nearby!) is thinking about joining but feels a bit nervous⦠honestly, just DO IT!!!
Lisa is the loveliest consultant, the group is so welcoming, and no one judges you whether you lose, maintain, or even gain. Everyoneβs in it together.
Iβm just so proud that I finally put myself first β and if I can do it after all these years, anyone can. πͺβ¨
