Jenny isn’t one of my members, but she absolutely deserves a shoutout — along with my lovely colleague Louise Bales

Jenny joined Louise’s Thursday group at St James just one week ago, and what a start she’s had!
She’s smashed her first week with a loss of over half a stone 🎉

She was so pleased on the scales and couldn’t wait to share what she’d changed. Her biggest challenge? Family pizza night. But instead of avoiding it, she planned ahead, stayed on track, and still enjoyed it — exactly what this journey is all about.

This is how real success happens week in, week out… normal life, real food, and a bit of forward thinking.
If you’d love to hear more and see how it all works, come along and visit us. You’re very welcome to take a look before committing to anything x

Here he is again… our lovely Graham 😊

Just 6 weeks into his journey and he’s already 1 stone down — incredible progress!

Weight loss can feel like a bit of a minefield at times, but with a little thought and some simple planning, you can make any situation work for you.

After group on Friday, Graham and Pauline headed out to catch up with friends at Wetherspoons. Instead of worrying about it, they had a quick look at the menu beforehand and picked out 4–5 meals they’d enjoy that also supported their goals.

That’s the shift.

It’s not about putting your life on hold or missing out — it’s about feeling confident enough to plan ahead and still enjoy the foods and moments that matter to you.
So don’t stress about what’s coming up… get excited about how you can make it work 💛

What’s your reason… your real “why”?

Being mother of the bride has to be one of life’s proudest moments. Your little girl has found her person, she’s ready to commit to a lifetime together, and share that love with everyone around her.

And on a day like that… wouldn’t you want to look and feel your absolute best?

Carol is doing just that. She’s consistently losing an average of 2lbs a week and has already achieved our incredible Club 10 award.

This isn’t just about weight loss—it comes with powerful health benefits too, helping to reduce the risk of serious conditions.

When June arrives, Carol won’t just be standing there full of pride for her daughter… she’ll be proud of herself too.

If you haven't got a reason why make you and your health priority.

This weather makes you feel so much better.
Are you summer ready?

Charlotte walked into our 8:30am group at St Jame’s Church Hall back in February feeling stuck and unsure where to start. She’d heard good things about Slimming World, but like so many people, she wondered… can it really be that simple?

Joining with a friend, she quickly realised this isn’t about restriction or going hungry. It’s about learning how to eat well, feel satisfied, and still lose weight.

Fast forward just a few weeks, and Charlotte has done exactly that, she’s lost an incredible 1 stone and reached her target

What made the difference?

Not perfection. Not willpower alone.

She learned how to:
✨ Handle the “pot holes” that life throws in the way
✨ Plan ahead without overthinking it
✨ Stay consistent even when things weren’t perfect
✨ Build a new, healthier relationship with food

That’s where the real change happens.

If you’ve been thinking about starting but feel unsure, take this as your sign, you don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need to be open to doing things a little differently and giving yourself the time and space to learn.

Because when you do… the results follow.

If you’re ready to feel in control, supported, and see real progress, come and join us 💛

Meet Pauline & Graham

Tanya made a New Year’s resolution that so many of us can relate to, lose weight and get back to doing what she loves.

The difference? She didn’t stop when things got tough.

While most resolutions fade after a few weeks, Tanya kept going. Now, 14 weeks later, she’s an incredible 2½ stone lighter, has signed up for multiple 10K runs, and is living a life full of energy and purpose again.

Her confidence has grown so much that she’s even taken a bold step into a brand new career proving that when you change your mindset, everything else can change too.

Because this journey isn’t just about losing weight, t’s about gaining your life back.

If you’re ready to feel more confident, more energised, and back in control, why not start today?

Join Tanya and our friendly early bird session at 7am on Saturdays at Silver Street Baptist Church, and take the first step towards your own transformation. 💛

Our gorgeous Kirsty Budge truly deserves a moment of recognition, not just for her incredible weight loss of 3st 11lbs in just one year but for the powerful mindset shift that made it happen.

This time, Kirsty did something different. In the past, she might have walked away but not now. Week after week, she’s shown up, travelling all the way from Glastonbury to Taunton for her 7am group at Silver Street Baptist Church, stepping on the scales, and staying committed no matter what.

That consistency has paid off in the best way possible, this week she became a brand new Target member! 🎉

And what’s even more inspiring? Kirsty has made a promise to herself: she’s not stopping here. She’s going to keep coming, keep showing up, and protect the amazing results she’s worked so hard for.

This is what real success looks like. Commitment, resilience, and never giving up on yourself. 💛

Different stories…
Different starting points…
Different reasons for walking through those doors…

But one powerful thing in common…

💛 They didn’t do it alone 💛
Friends…
Family…
Mum and daughter…
Aunty and niece…

Each of these incredible people made a decision to change their lives

And found strength not just within themselves, but in each other.

Through the highs…
Through the wobbles…

Through the days where motivation felt low…

They showed up.
They supported.
They kept going.

And the results speak for themselves…

✨ Confidence rebuilt
✨ Health improved
✨ Energy restored
✨ Lives changed

But more than that…

They’ve built friendships, strengthened relationships, and created something truly special 💫

Because this isn’t just about weight loss…

It’s about belonging, support, and becoming the person you know you can be.

So if you’re sat there thinking…

“Could I do this?”
The answer is simple…

Her story is a reminder that it’s not about rushing for quick results. It’s about consistency, commitment, and believing in yourself every step of the way.

This week, Ev is heading off to Lanzarote for some well-deserved rest, relaxation and, fingers crossed — a little sunshine ☀️

And she’ll be travelling a little lighter too, having achieved her half stone award before she goes.

Smaller clothes… bigger smiles.

I’m so proud of the way she’s planned ahead for her holiday, proving that you can enjoy time away and still stay aligned with your goals.

I can’t wait to hear how she gets on with her new holiday plan when she’s back. Enjoy every minute, Ev, you’ve earned it!
