🌟 Meet Dianne, Our Carleton Slimming World superstar! 🌟

Dianne achieved something truly incredible in October 2025...
her personal weight loss target with a total loss of 2st 9lb and is already half way to becoming a 'Diamond' Target member.

What makes her story so special is the honesty she brings to it.
Dianne has done Slimming World before, but she’ll be the first to tell you she never stayed to group. She’d pop in, get weighed, and go. Yes, she lost weight… but she never sustained it. Something was missing.

So she made a brave decision.
She realised that if she wanted a different result, she needed a different approach.

She found my Saturday morning Carleton group, a time that suits her life and she committed to showing up every single week.

And that’s where everything changed.

💛 She found support.
💛 She found ideas.
💛 She found accountability.
💛 She found her people.

Dianne says the help she gets from group has been the game‑changer… and what’s even more special is how much she now gives back. She’s the first to cheer others on, offer a tip, share a recipe, or lift someone who’s had a wobble. She’s become part of the heartbeat of our Saturday mornings.
Her journey is proof that when you stay, when you listen, when you share, when you let yourself be supported, magic happens.

✨ Feel inspired? Know that your moment can be next. ✨

So proud of you, Dianne! What an achievement. x

Today our Slimming World family are remembering Margaret ❤️

Margaret Miles-Bramwell truly changed my life, and the lives of thousands more. Her vision, care and love created something so much bigger than weight loss. She built a community that gives people hope, confidence and belief in themselves. I will always be deeply grateful to her for the positive impact she’s had on my life and on so many others.

I am honoured to be a part of the Slimming World family, running my own groups and now paying that same love & compassion forward. ♥️

🌟 Celebrating our amazing Karen today. 🌟

Five stone down and proudly at target, but what makes her shine isn’t just the number on the scales. It’s the fun, humour, kindness and compassion she brings into our group every single week. She lifts others up without even realising she’s doing it.

After reaching target, Karen didn’t stop. She looked for her next focus and has thrown herself into running, starting with Couch to 5K and now becoming a regular at Parkrun. She’s even treated herself to some new running gear… but the real investment is the one she’s making in herself.

Her health, her confidence, her future.

Karen, you’re a reminder that hitting target isn’t the end of the journey, it’s the start of a whole new chapter. We’re so proud of you and everything you continue to achieve.

Not the most flattering of pics (but that's me!) and who doesn't like a challenge on a Monday evening? I couldn't resist when I saw the poster! 😂
Quick trot up Blackpool Tower & back down again!
Slimming World what have you done to me! ❤️

*📸 “It’s Not Just for Girls…” Meet Steve!*

This week we’re celebrating Steve who’s now almost 5 stone lighter with Slimming World and feeling like a completely different man.

His big motivation?
His son’s wedding later this year.
He didn’t want to be the dad hiding at the back… dodging the camera… or missing from the photos of one of the happiest days of their lives.

In fact, getting a “before” picture was almost impossible because he didn’t have any. Like so many people, Steve avoided the camera for years.

But that’s the part of his story he’s rewriting.
And look at him now healthier, happier, and ready to step into every photo with pride.

If you’ve ever dodged a camera… cropped yourself out… or looked back and realised you’re missing from moments you should have been in, you’re not alone.

You can rewrite your story too.
You can become the person who loves a photo opportunity, because you feel good, confident, and present in your own life.

And if Steve can do it, so can you.

If you’re ready to start your chapter, I’m right here to help you take that first step.

Saturday 7am 8.30am and 10am (Carleton St Hildas & St Martins)
Thursday 8am 9.30am and 11am (Anchorsholme All Saints Church)

🚗 **Weight loss: the M6 or the scenic route?**

Most of us dream of the fast lane… smooth roads, no delays, everything going exactly to plan. But real life? It’s usually the scenic route, beautiful at times, challenging at others, and full of unexpected twists.

On this journey we hit:

• bumps in the road
• traffic jams that slow us down
• detours we didn’t plan
• the odd breakdown where we feel stuck

But when the destination matters, when it’s about our health, confidence, happiness and future, we don’t abandon the journey. We adjust the route. We reset the sat‑nav. We keep going.

And the thing that makes the biggest difference?

**Not travelling alone.**

That’s exactly what Slimming World gives us.
A community that walks beside us, celebrates the wins, steadies us through the wobbles, and reminds us why we started. Week in, week out, you’ve got people who *get it* , because they’re on the same road too.

Getting to target and staying there isn’t about perfection.
It’s about support, consistency, kindness and connection.
It’s about knowing you’ve always got someone in the passenger seat.

If you’re ready to start your journey or restart it you’re so welcome in my groups:

📍 **All Saints Church, Thornton**
⏰ **Thursdays: 8am, 9.30am & 11am**

📍 **St Hilda’s & St Martin’s Church Hall, Carleton**
⏰ **Saturdays: 7am, 8.30am & 10am**

Let’s travel this road together, bumps, detours, victories and all.

Sunday morning vibe and feeling amazing at 50 ✨
(Ps never in a million years did I ever think I'd be first in the gym on a Sunday morning 🏋️‍♀️)

And honestly…it’s down to Slimming World Food Optimising and getting active working together.

This year my focus is simple:

👉 Healthy mind
👉 Healthy body

Food Optimising has helped me enjoy real, satisfying food without guilt, and adding activity has boosted my energy, confidence and mood more than I ever expected. It’s not about perfection – it’s about feeling strong, positive and living life fully 💪🧠

If you’re thinking “I want to feel better in myself this year” – you’re not alone, and you don’t have to do it on your own either.
