🌟 Referred by her GP… Now She’s Racing Through Life! 🌟

Just under 12 months ago, Amanda joined our Anchorsholme Slimming World group after being referred by her GP and what a journey it’s been! She’s now 5 stone lighter, glowing with health, confidence and living life to the fullest 💫

✅ High blood pressure? Gone.
✅ Pre-diabetic? No more.
✅ Cholesterol? From high to healthy.
✅ Confidence, energy, and joy? Overflowing!

In July, Amanda smashed the Race for Life 5K, showing just how far she’s come, not just in pounds lost, but in strength gained. Her GP was blown away by her transformation… and so are we!

She’s now bursting with energy for her grandchildren, and radiates a zest for life that’s truly inspiring. And just look at her! She hasn’t just dropped the lbs, she’s dropped years! Her before and after photos say it all… she looks absolutely fabulous ✨

So let’s celebrate Amanda! Proof that with support, determination, and self-belief, anything is possible 🙌

To say I feel amazing is an understatement!
8.75 miles completed today with Ollie, my youngest in preparation for the Great North Run! 🏃‍♀️💪

When the boys were little, I couldn’t have imagined doing anything like this. But thanks to Slimming World and their incredible Body Magic plan, I’ve become more active than I ever dreamed possible, one small step at a time.

We’re not just running for fitness , we’re running with purpose. We’re proud to be taking on the Great North Run for PAPYRUS, a charity dedicated to preventing young su***de 💜

Physical activity has played an important part in my journey, not just in helping me feel healthier, but in boosting my mental well-being too. And what makes me so proud is that Ollie feels it too. He’s learned for himself how powerful running is, not just for his body, but for his mind. It keeps him grounded, clear-headed, and mentally strong.

This journey is changing both our lives, and I’ll never stop being grateful for it. Being able to train and share this experience together is something I’ll cherish forever.

If you’re curious about how Slimming World works or how to take those first small steps, feel free to message me. I’d love to help you start your own journey 🌟

✨ From Day One to Marathons – My Slimming World Journey ✨

On 28th September 2010, I joined Slimming World – nervous, hopeful, and ready for a fresh start.
Just 6 months later, I reached my target, and by April 2011, I became a Slimming World Consultant.
What a journey it’s been ever since 💫

🏅 I’ve completed 2 London Marathons,
🏃‍♀️ 2 Half Marathons (with a third coming up this September!)
…something I never, ever thought possible.

My Slimming World groups have won multiple 'Gold' awards over the years, something I never imagined would be part of my story.
These aren’t just awards, they’re a reflection of the amazing, supportive communities we’ve built together 💛

Every week, I see lives changing.
Members lifting each other up, sharing their highs and lows, learning to let go of guilt and love themselves again.

This journey has been so much more than weight loss, it’s about self-belief, resilience, and learning how to navigate life’s challenges without giving up on ourselves.

I feel truly blessed and grateful for every opportunity Slimming World has brought into my life and for every person I’ve had the privilege of walking this journey with.

Thank you for being part of it.
Here’s to the next chapter, I'd love you to be part of it 🌟

✨ I feel truly privileged to be part of something so life-changing. Being given the opportunity to support members on their weight loss journey is more than a role , it’s a calling.

Every single week, I witness transformations that go far beyond the scales. Members are reducing medications, some even stopping them altogether. We’re seeing diabetes reversed, blood pressure and cholesterol brought back within healthy ranges, and most importantly, people rediscovering confidence, energy, and joy.

This isn’t just about weight loss. It’s about reclaiming health, rewriting futures, and doing it together. The power of community is real and when we lift each other up, the results are nothing short of extraordinary 💖

🌟 That’s why I’m so proud Slimming World are working in partnership with Wyre Borough Council to offer eligible residents a FREE 12-week Slimming World membership. This incredible initiative is funded by Lancashire County Council and is designed to help people take control of their health with expert support and a welcoming group environment.

If you live in Wyre and meet the criteria, this could be your moment to start a journey that changes everything and I’ll be right here to support you every step of the way.

📲 Apply now or speak to your GP: https://www.wyre.gov.uk/sport-fitness/weight-management-slimming-world

Let’s do this together. Your future self will thank you 💫

My groups run every Thursday morning at All Saints Church, Anchorsholme (8am, 9.30am and 11am) and Saturday morning at St Martins & St Hildas Church Hall, Carleton (7am, 8.30am and 10am)

👗 From Poolside to Wardrobe Raids… Tara’s Turning Heads! 💃
This week at Carleton Saturday Slimming World, we’re celebrating the incredible Tara, who’s shed a phenomenal 5st 3lb — and gained so much more than just a smaller dress size.

🌊 On her recent holiday, Tara did something she never thought she’d do… she swam with her girls for the very first time. It was emotional, empowering, and long overdue — not because she didn’t want to, but because she finally felt confident enough to say yes.

💬 “I felt sad that I’d missed out before… but proud that I finally got to be in the moment with them.”

And now? Her girls are borrowing her clothes! A cheeky little problem she’s more than happy to have! 😄

Tara’s story is a reminder that it’s never just about the scales. It’s about reclaiming joy, confidence, and those everyday moments that mean the world.

👏 Let’s give her a massive shoutout below and if you’re ready to write your own transformation story, we’re here every Saturday at Carleton or every Thursday morning at Anchorsholme, ready to welcome you with open arms.

🔥 From Hiding to Thriving: Rebecca’s 5st 3lb Transformation in Just 12 Months

“I was always upset and overwhelmed. I hid behind baggy T-shirts, jumpers and leggings. Even my ‘good’ outfits were oversized Adanola pieces because they hid my shape.”

With a BMI of 41, Rebecca referred herself to a local weight management service. Her GP gave her a 12-week free pass to Slimming World—and she made a promise to herself: Give it everything.

She’d been walking 10,000 steps a day for years and thought she was fit. But she quickly discovered there’s a big difference between being active and feeling strong.

🍽 Food That Fuelled Her Journey
Rebecca didn’t restrict—she rediscovered joy in food:

Bubbling lasagne with veggie-packed sauces
Colourful chicken stir fry
Hearty pasta dishes the whole family enjoys

“It wasn’t about restriction—it was about enjoying real, satisfying food while making healthier swaps.”

💪 Fitness That Changed Everything
Rebecca started small—but built momentum fast:

One HIIT class at JoJo’s sparked her love for movement
Bootcamp sessions added variety and challenge
A personal trainer introduced her to weight training for her back, arms, and legs
Core exercises helped support her diastasis recti and protect her hernia

“Walking 10,000 steps a day is great—but it’s nothing compared to the power and energy I get from lifting weights.”

🌟 Life Now
Rebecca’s confidence has soared: “I try on clothes I never would have dared to wear. I still reach for the bigger size—then I’m shocked when the smaller one fits perfectly! My health is at its best, my energy is higher, and I find it easier to lift my mood—even on tired days.”

❤ Her Motivation
“On the tough days, I keep my kids at the forefront of my mind. I’m happier, have more energy, and I’m a better mum because of it. My partner has always told me I’m beautiful—but now I’m starting to believe it myself.”

💡 Rebecca’s Top Tip
Start small, but start. One class. One healthy meal. One short walk. That’s how momentum builds. And never forget why you began.

“From the very first group, I felt welcomed. The lovely, friendly atmosphere made it a joy to attend—and our consultant Julie was incredible. She celebrated every little win, encouraged us endlessly, and made everyone feel supported. It became a highlight of my week.”

👏 Let’s give Rebecca the celebration she deserves—and if her story sparks something in you, know this: You can start your journey today. We’ll be with you every step of the way.
