As of 6th November Slimming World are offering FREE rejoining to lapsed members, to enable you to restart your weight loss journey, and are supporting you with a Free ‘This Time’ book, to help you start afresh, with a new mindset towards a new you!

So there will free joining on 6th Nov and 13th Nov AND this week in my all my groups

(Booklets will be given out from 6th Nov as I won’t get them till end next week)

Make this, the best decision you make before 2024 is out, as with 8 weeks (that’s 2months!) still to Christmas🎄and 9 weeks to New Year🎆🎇, there is loads of time to get re-started and be over a stone or more lighter, meaning you’re starting 2025 in a fab place 🥳

No risks, no potions or pills required, just following the Food Optimising plan, which is way to generous to be called a diet, plus getting the support needed and making changes, to be able to successfully lose weight, rather than going it alone.

✔️Losing weight sustainably.
✔️With group support
✔️No hunger required.
✔️No feeling sick, no after effects.
💪Enjoying life, your food, your meals out, with no Christmas guilt.

Alongside getting that SW support to reset your 💭💬Mindset, as you CAN do it, lose a stone, and drop a clothes size by new year!

Start 2025 in a healthier, better place.

Now who wouldn’t want that! 🤔

*Kath's story ❤️*

I was working full time and caring for my husband Brian and I was suffering with pains in all my joints . I was taking pain relief 4 times a day and having to see a specialist at the hospital. As a manager at McDonald’s I was enjoying the free meals on my break and not really seeing the weight piling on . I joined our local Slimming World group for help and Emma our consultant is great at her job she has lots of great ideas and is really welcoming and friendly. I lost over 5 stone in 26 weeks!

I now have no pain anywhere and take no pain relief, I run round at work like a teenager and I go to the gym . My resting heart rate has dropped from well over 100 to now 76! I love our group as it’s a mix up of ages and all shapes and sizes and everyone is so supportive and helpful . It's the best thing I’ve ever done. I am down from a size 24 to a 10/12 I'm so happy with myself!

Hi my name is Hannah 😃 I wanted to say hello 👋 and tell you a little about me. Back in 2019 I had lost my mojo to the point I didn't want to take part in any activities, I hated walking and avoided it with a passion, I even sometimes had to use a wheelchair. My family and I were worried about my health and so I decided to join our local Slimming World group in Great Sankey (now Penketh & Great Sankey). Losing weight has given me a new lease of life and I feel about 15 years younger,😁I have more confidence and a willingness to take part in any activity!
I have really enjoyed changing my eating habits and cooking healthy foods. Group is such great fun and I love taking part and getting support from the Consultant Becky and my friends there. 🥰
The encouragement of the group has really motivated me and I love to walk now and be as active as I can and I don't need a wheelchair ever!👍 I have just got back from a fantastic holiday to Canada with my family! Whilst there I regularly walked over 10000 steps each day and on one of the days we walked 9 miles!🚶‍♀️
I have lost over 4.5 Stone 🤩 and I'm still losing weight. 🎉 I know I will get to my target and be able to have a fuller healthier life 😃.
"Hannah is a pleasure to have in group, she is enthusiastic, friendly and due to that she has won 2 group competitions this year! I love having her in our group." Says Becky, Hannah's Slimming World Consultant.

Introducing Eric & Jean..

2020, the Covid year, was a difficult year for many people including Eric & Jean. Early that year both Eric & Jean sadly lost family members and then in November 2020, in the midst of moving house, Eric suffered a heart attack. Previously, Eric had always been active, enjoying cycling. However after the heart attack Eric was scared to exercise and fearful that he would not reach his 60th Birthday and as time went by Eric gained weight and went from an XL to a 3XL.

January 2024 came and Eric was in a bad place and feeling ashamed after seeing family photographs taken at Christmas. Eric said “The sad part is I could have easily carried on not looking after myself and gaining weight had it not been for my wife Jean”. Jean, after being diagnosed with Diabetes, had already lost two stone on her own, however had hit a brick wall with her own weight loss and no matter what she tried she couldn't lose anymore weight. Jean knew things had to change, so she decided to encourage Eric to join their local Slimming World group together. Initially Eric was very sceptical, “men don't do that, its just a women’s club”, however Eric was happy to see that there were other men and couples in the group which helped ease his anxiety about joining. Eric and Jean have totally embraced Slimming World’s Food Optimising plan, planning their meals and trying lots of new dishes along the way without ever feeling hungry.

Since joining in January their lives have been transformed. Jean has gone on to lose a further two and a half stone and has been able to reduce her diabetes medication. Her ultimate goal being to come off the medication completely and reach her target weight. She is more active and is feeling much more confident in herself. Eric is now a target member, achieving his target in July after losing 3 and a half stone. He’s feeling great, exercising again & enjoying buying smaller size clothes.

Jean went onto say “Joining Debbie’s group is the best decision we have made as a couple. We enjoy staying to group, everyone is so welcoming and supportive, it has definitely made a big difference to our weight loss success. I would urge anyone who is wanting to lose weight to go along to a group”.

Hi my name is Clair I was signed off from work in March 2023 with high blood pressure. I have always had high blood pressure and have been on medication since my early twenties. My medication was increased at the time and I was put on the maximum dosage. Still after being off work and on the higher dose, my blood pressure was still dangerously high. In April 2023 my doctor referred me to cardiology, told me that I was prediabetic and advised that losing weight would help to control my blood pressure. The thought of being referred to cardiology shocked me into doing something about my weight. Through school and the SAS wellbeing app, I signed up for a free 12-week weight management programme with Slimming World and persuaded my best friend to do the same and come with me. May 1st was my first weigh in. At Kerry Millingtons group in Warrington.
We had always eaten fairly healthily for our evening meal, but prior to starting Slimming World I would have had toast for breakfast or some chocolate based cereal. Lunch would have been a sandwich and crisps with a chippy lunch on a Friday. Chocolate was my go to snack, Cadbury Twirls were my favourite and I would keep a supply in my desk drawer at school!
Since losing weight my confidence has increased, I walk quicker, my knees don’t hurt anymore and my husband says I have stopped snoring. My blood pressure is now stable. My first real boost, after losing 3 stone, was accompanying the year 6s on their residential to Robinwood and joining in with all of the activities, including the high ropes and zip line, without being self-conscious about my weight and worrying about fittiyng into a harness.
I can now confidently fit into a size 12, whereas before it was a size 18 or 20.
I never had full length photos taken, now I do.

Meet Sam, a true inspiration!

After being diagnosed with high cholesterol and high blood pressure, Sam’s biggest fear was not being around to care for her young children. That’s when she made the life-changing decision to join Slimming World.

Sam loves that no food is off-limits, and by filling one-third of her plate with “speed” foods, she’s able to enjoy her favorite meals, like a comforting hot pot with stewed steak, potatoes, onions, and carrots—all while staying on track! Plus, her whole family enjoys the Slimming World-friendly meals she makes. 👩‍🍳

Her biggest challenge? Staying motivated as she gets closer to her goal weight, especially resisting the urge to turn weigh day into a treat day. But with incredible determination, she’s powered through and shed an amazing 7st 11lb in just 13 months! 🎉

Now, Sam is more confident, outgoing, and able to do simple things like climbing stairs without getting out of breath. Her health has transformed, too—her cholesterol is down, her blood pressure meds are being reduced, and even her perimenopause symptoms have eased!

We are so proud of Sam and everything she’s achieved. She’s truly an inspiration to our group and a reminder that with focus and the right support, anything is possible! 💪🌈

Target members Richard & Marian Smith have lost an amazing 6 stone and have been at target for 6 years. Both attend the Slimming World Group at Stockton Heath Primary School and never miss a week.

Having tried a few other weight loss programs without success, Richard and Marian were inspired to join Slimming World by the success of their niece’s partner who lost an amazing 4 stone.

Marian joined first in April 2016 and Richard followed a few months later, having seen the benefits and enjoyed the variety of food that they were able to eat while sticking to plan.

Richard says that coming to group each week helps to keep them focused and they enjoy helping other members when they can, and also picking up new recipe ideas.

Whenever we talk about the benefits of Slimming World, they always say that the importance of their health and fitness is the most significant and with Slimming Worlds Food optimising being a sustainable plan it fits into everyday life.
Both enjoy an active life, with Marian attending a weekly dance class and they love to get out and about, enjoying long walks whenever they can, especially on holiday, which is where they are now..
They also love cooking and trying lots of new recipes. You can always count on Richard to bring slimming world pimms when it’s group taster and Marian treats us with her slimming world pate and hummus. If you would like to achieve your dream weight and still live your everyday life, pop along to your local Slimming World group to find out how.
