Slimming World Oban with Gillian

20/11/2025

Over the last few weeks I have noticed some lovely faces missing from group and when I see or hear from them they are promising to get back to me in the new year which is brilliant however I do worry about where they could end up with their weight loss journey over the next 6 weeks. We could lose a minimum of half a stone in that time frame (and thats the very least as we had a member lose 9½ pounds in just 2 short weeks). The worrying question is...how much could we gain in 6 weeks without attending your Slimming World group ❓️
If you are reading this now and thinking 'Yep, this is me' then please don't wait.
Dont give up on yourself because of 2 or 3 days in December that may be difficult to food optimise. Think of all the other meals that can be food optimised and have you continue losing weight over these coming weeks.

Please do come back and see us next week 🙏
You will definitely thank yourself!

Her Slimming World group became her lifeline – she says the support, the laughs, the honesty and the encouragement meant everything ✨.

This lovely post is from one of our members who has never done Slimming World before. They joined on the 14th August 2025 and to date have lost an incredible 1st 5.5lbs ❤️

As I've been getting older, I've been putting on a couple of lbs in weight each year (for the last 15 or so years). I'd told myself it was inevitable and what I should expect as part of the aging process. I didn't feel as healthy as I'd done before, and although I still walked regularly, it was getting more difficult to go uphill, with me having to stop to "take in the view" at regular intervals.

I had tried to lose weight on my own, but didn't manage to lose more than a few lbs at a time and struggled to keep on track, often putting it all back on, and more.

I was invited along to Gillian's slimming world sessions by a couple of the girls who go along, and it took a few weeks for me to think about it and decide for myself that, if I was serious about trying to lose weight and feel healthier, then I really should go along.

Even though I've only been going for about 3 months, everyone is SO very supportive and happy to share their stories and inspiration. I've been (happily) surprised at how the food optimising has worked and that the changes I've needed to make aren't too difficult, especially when the weight starts to fall.

I'm delighted that I've lost 1 stone 5.5lbs in the time I've been going. It seems impossible that by making the right food decisions that I've been able to lose so much, when I've not been able to get anywhere close to this on my own.

My resting heart rate has reduced by 7-8 beats per minute, and I'm finding my walks are much more enjoyable, and I don't get as hot and out of breath either.

The support from the group, at meetings and online is a great motivator, and knowing that everyone has good and bad weeks really helps, and celebrating everyone's achievements along the way is brilliant.

Time to introduce another of our fabulous Target members❤️ Maintaining her 4st 1lb loss for nearly 6 years! Amazing achievement 👏

Here is a true and honest post from me . I joined Gillian’s group right at the very beginning . I’ve been a target member for almost 6 years, having lost 4st 1lb. This is why Slimming World is NOT a diet and IS a lifestyle change . I’m much more confident now than I ever was . I still attend group every week and am part of Gillians social team to help out and also still get weighed every other week . Without the support of Gillian and the group I would not be where I am today . Dream , believe and achieve 💃

I joined the slimming class on the first evening it came to Fort William and was absolutely terrified.my thought was what if I’m the biggest person there .so plucked up the courage to go through the door and sat at the very back .I was made so welcome by everyone it was the best thing I ever did .my journey is still going, but I will get to
target. my health has improved so greatly that walking to the coop was a marathon.now I walk at least 8 miles a day .and the person that i thank more than anything is the amazing consultant Gillian that came that evening to do a slimming world class .if she had said to me that evening that I would be able to help every week at class or stand in for her when needed you would not have seen for dust out that door so thankful for everything she does and I will not give up till I get to my target xx
