Elaine O’Brien: A Steady Journey to Success

From the hills in the area surrounding Marske to the heart of our Slimming World group, Elaine O’Brien has brought warmth, wisdom, and quiet determination to every step of her journey. At 65, Elaine—senior clinical adviser for the North East Ambulance Service—joined us at the end of July last year, and by Christmas, she had reached her target weight, shedding an impressive 2 stone.

What makes Elaine’s story so inspiring isn’t just the numbers—it’s her approach. “I was so glad I joined,” she says, “and happy to lose 3 pounds in my first week. I was going on holiday the next week and lost 2½ when I came back.” Her progress continued at a gentle, sustainable pace of 1–2 pounds a week, never driven by pressure, but by consistency and self-kindness.

Elaine’s philosophy is refreshingly balanced: “I didn’t have to give up everything I loved—I still had anything I wanted, just a smaller amount.” That mindset has made her popular in our group, reminding us that success doesn’t have to mean massive sacrifice.

Her active lifestyle—especially taking her dogs out on shoots, which involves plenty of hill walking—has become noticeably easier. “It’s much easier now,” she shares, “and I don’t get so out of breath. My legs and feet don’t ache.”

Elaine’s endorsement of Slimming World is heartfelt and inclusive: “I can really recommend Slimming World whether you have half a stone or 10 stone to lose. It seems to suit everyone in our group.”

What a 🌟 you are Elaine!

This is our gorgeous Dawn! Who was one of our greatest losers in our Wednesday 5.30 group,
Since joining our Loftus group Dawn has lost over 4 stone! And totally changed her life.
Here is her story so far! ❤️

Here is my story to date.
I really feel that Slimming World has saved me mentally and physically.
I struggled with my weight during lockdown, often comfort eating.
By the time 2023 arrived I was feeling very low. I decided to take up weight loss injections that my doctor had offered me.
Unfortunately they didn't suit me and I had to stop using them.
I spent the Spring and Summer telling myself it was ok I could deal with my weight. I really went into denial. This was until I started looking at the photos we had taken, during our holidays. I knew I had to take control again. My family was also worried about me especially my Mum.
I had been a Slimming world member before, I knew I would be welcomed back.
So on the 9th October 2023,I walked through my nearest Slimming world group door. I was immediately at ease, recognising a few faces I knew. Claire took me through the food optimising plan. I knew straight away I had made the right choice.
My Slimming world journey has been one of stops and starts, frustrating at times . Often the scales not showing the effort I had put in.
With support from Claire and my group, I have managed to get myself on plan and in the right head space. I love the taster evenings, and the help we give each other with ideas and recipes.
I have found writing down the food I eat, it helps me keep track of my healthy extras and syns. I can also notice if I am not eating enough speed foods too.
I have found that when we are away in our caravan, I can continue food optimising by taking meals with me that I have prepared. It's great knowing I can go on holiday and continue to lose weight.
I have always loved walking, I now find that I can walk up hills without getting out of breath, and walk further than I use to.
I canoed with some kids I was working with. Usually I would be the one on dry land watching them. This time I found the courage and confidence to have a go, I am so pleased I did.
I am also back swimming after a long time away. It is so wonderful being back in the water.
I continue my Slimming World journey with confidence and pride, believing that I will reach my target, even if I take a bit of a scenic route. 😁.

😃Dawn has given her full permission to share her journey with you!🥰

Here's a good question? Have you wondered how Slimming World actually works 🤔

Our eating plan is based on the science of energy density (the calories in a food for every gram of it), of ‘satiety’ (how filling a food is) and how likely we are to overeat it.

The Slimming World plan encourages eating more foods that are super FILLING and low in energy density to naturally limit energy intake without having to count a single calorie!

It’s not a miracle – just science 🌟
