Meet Philippa, one of my gorgeous target members from the Tuesday Evening group 🥰
She lost an incredible 4 stone - Read her story below 👇
“For years, I yo-yo dieted , trying all different things from buying smelly pens that were meant to supress your appetite, to eating cereal twice a day. My manager at work joined Slimming World and lost nearly 8 stone in total and I was totally amazed and wanted to know how I could do the same.
I had been in complete denial for a whole year before joining, eating everything to comfort myself, and I refused to get on the scales or look at myself in the mirror because I really didn't like what I saw. The night I decided to walk through the doors to my group was one of the hardest things to do but it completely changed my life. After hearing all about the plan and I stopped saying I was on a diet, but instead said I had changed my lifestyle because I knew it would be sustainable for life.
It was amazing the food you could eat, even my husband said I wasn't going to lose weight eating cooked breakfasts, chips, pasta etc but I could and did.
I never set a target weight straight away, but was reassured that that was okay and supported every step of the way by the amazing friends I have made in group. I even went to Glastonbury festival that year, and still lost weight. It took me just 54 weeks to get to my goal weight, of a 4 stones weight loss.
When I got to my chosen target weight I went out and bought some new clothes and it felt great! The key for me, is to go shopping every week, and know what meals I am eating for the entire week but loved that I could choose!
Truthfully It wasn't always easy, I went through weeks with no weight loss at all, and felt like giving up, but stayed to group and got all the support I needed and eventually smashed my own personal goals which I probably wouldn’t of if I was on this journey alone.
My healthy lifestyle is a way of life for me now, and I would never go back to how I was before, I'm so happy being me. xx”
