Slimming World Thurcroft

02/05/2026

Inspired by a member today and it’s turned into one of those really feel-good, on-plan days 😄

Started with eggs on Jason’s sourdough, topped with beans and Heck pork strips… such a satisfying way to kick things off

Got a big, super spicy chicken and spinach curry bubbling away ready for later with cauliflower rice 🔥

And I’ve been out getting organised for Sunday dinner too… lamb steaks with plenty of speed free veg ready to go 🥦🥕

This is what I love about Food Optimising. Proper food, full of flavour, nothing boring and still completely on plan

And after such a fantastic group this morning, it’s just made the whole day even better 🙌

What’s everyone cooking today? 👀

Had a really lovely morning at the church coffee morning today.

Such a warm, welcoming group and a genuinely nice way to spend a few hours chatting with people in the community.

Thank you so much to Julie and the team for the invite and for making me feel so welcome.

It’s mornings like that which remind me what this is really about… helping people, having real conversations, and being part of something local.

And for the record… it was a biscuit for me, not cake 😄 St Simon & St Jude - Thurcroft Parish Church

Gillian, tonight is all about you ❤️

Tonight was one of those moments I’ll never forget. Gillian has officially reached her target, losing an incredible 2 stone 10.5lb and I honestly couldn’t be prouder of her.

Gillian has been with me pretty much from the very beginning of my Slimming World journey. She’s seen it all, the highs, the rebuilds, and those really tough covid years where everything felt uncertain. And through all of that, she stayed. She believed. She kept showing up.

Covid hit Gillian hard. Not just once, but a few times, and it really took its toll on her health with complications that would have made most people stop, pause, or give up. But not Gillian. She never gave up on Slimming World and more importantly, she never gave up on herself.

Week by week, she kept going. Quiet determination, consistency, and that inner strength that you just can’t teach.

And tonight, it all paid off ❤️

To see her hit target, smiling, proud, and standing tall honestly means the world.

And it doesn’t stop there. Gary, her husband, has also lost over 2 stone himself. What a team. What a household. Completely embracing the plan and changing their lives together.

Gillian is living proof that this isn’t just about weight loss. This is about healing, rebuilding, and giving your body what it truly needs through the power of real food and support.

I am beyond proud of you Gillian. You’ve shown what sheer determination looks like and you’ve inspired more people than you probably realise.

What a night. What an achievement. What a woman ❤️

Sue. Where do I even start ❤️

5 stone gone. Let that sink in for a second. What an achievement.

But honestly, it’s so much more than the weight. Sue is one of the kindest, funniest people you could ever meet. The sort of person who lights up a room without even trying. Somewhere along the way she’s gone from member… to friend… to genuinely feeling like family. She’s a huge part of my social team and I honestly see her more than some of my actual relatives 🤣

Her health has completely transformed too. Better mobility, so much fitter, and she’s even stopped smoking which is just incredible. She’s fully embraced Food Optimising and made it part of her life, not just something she dips in and out of.

And this is so Sue… she grows her own vegetables. Of course she does. Because she’s that thoughtful, that giving, and that invested in doing things properly. She would do anything for anyone without hesitation.

I’m beyond proud of you Sue. Not just for the 5 stone, but for the person you are every single day.

Absolute superstar 💫

If you’re thinking about starting or coming back, take a bit of inspiration from Sue. Real life, real results, real people doing amazing things 🙌

🌟 HUGE CONGRATULATIONS VANESSA 🌟

What an incredible achievement… 5 and a half stone gone!! 🤯👏

Vanessa has absolutely transformed her lifestyle. She’s embraced being more active, become so much fitter, and is living proof of what happens when you fully commit to Food Optimising 💪

And the best bit? She’s still living her life… enjoying fabulous days out and walking her two dogs while smashing her goals 🐶❤️

She is STILL flying and already has her sights set on her next milestone… just 5lb away from an amazing 6 stone loss! 🔥

I am honestly so proud of everything she’s achieved. The consistency, the mindset, the lifestyle change… it’s next level 🙌

And it doesn’t stop there…

A massive shoutout to Vanessa’s dad, Paul, who is also doing brilliantly. 1 stone 5lb down and just 9lb from target! 👏👏

This is what it’s all about… real people, real results, real life ❤️

Superstar Fiona 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

‘I’ve gone from just existing to really living 🙌!’ Raise the roof for Fiona, who has been named Slimming World’s Greatest Loser 2026 👑! She’s lost a jaw-dropping 20st 8.5lbs (130.9kg) 😱 after years of putting her life on hold because of her weight 💔.

At 35st (222.3kg), Fiona believed weight loss surgery was her only hope, so she joined her local Slimming World group with a plan to lose the 3st (19kg) needed to qualify. As the weight came off, she realised she could keep going without the need for surgery and her world began to open up 🤩.

From avoiding leaving the house to loving being active, exploring new places and saying ‘yes’ to every adventure 🥹, Fiona has truly transformed her life.
