Slimming World Buncrana with Marie

24/07/2025

It's been a busy couple of weeks at Slimming World Evening Groups, Summer 🌞ain't getting in this gangs way 👏👏👏🎉

Read this and tell me... does any of it sound familiar? 👇

​We all have those moments, don't we? The ones where we tell ourselves:
💭​"It's going to take so long.

💭​"I can't possibly think about my weight right now."

💭​"It's just not a priority at the moment."

💭​"I'll wait until things calm down and I have a clear few weeks.

💭"It's Summer & the kids are off"

These are the sneaky thoughts that stop us in our tracks, keeping us from making progress and staying exactly where we are.

Ready for a change?

​Here's the reality:
💥There's never a "perfect" moment to begin—there's just right now.

💥 You don't need to tackle everything at once; simply take that first step.

💥Imagine how grateful your future self will be for choosing to invest in you today!

​And the best part? You won't be on this journey alone ❤️

At Slimming World, we're all about real-life, sustainable change, giving you food freedom that fits your life, and fostering supportive groups that genuinely lift you up, week after week. No pressure, no perfection, no punishment—just genuine progress.

Marie ❤️

Oíche Fhéile Eoin

Tonight, June 23rd, is Bonefire Night or St. John's Eve (Oíche Fhéile Eoin) here 🔥 another old tradition I'm learning about since moving from The Pale
This ancient tradition, especially vibrant in places like Donegal, marks the eve of the Feast Day of St. John the Baptist. But its roots go much deeper, blending powerful pagan rituals celebrating the summer solstice with Christian beliefs.
Historically, bonfires were lit to ward off evil, ensure good harvests, and bring blessings. Imagine communities gathering, the crackle of the flames, and the scent of smoke filling the air as people jumped the fires for luck or drove cattle through the embers for protection.
It's a beautiful reminder of how traditions evolve, carrying echoes of our ancestors' beliefs into the present day. If you're out & about tonight, you might just catch a glimpse of these historic fires!

🥳Celebrating 1️⃣3️⃣ Years of Inspiration: Happy Anniversary to Our Amazing Consultant!
Thirteen years ago today, AnneMarie embarked on a journey🛄 that would change countless lives – joining the Slimming World family as a Consultant!
It's truly incredible to think of the dedication, passion, and unwavering support she has poured into our groups over the past 13 years. From celebrating 🥳 every half-stone award to offering a comforting ear on challenging weeks, AnneMarie has been so much more than just a consultant; she has been a friend, a cheerleader, and a constant source of motivation for so many members on their weight loss journeys.
Think of all the transformations, the renewed confidence, the health improvements, and the sheer joy that have been sparked in AnneMarie's groups over the years. Each one is a testament to her commitment to helping people achieve their dreams and live healthier, happier lives.
I want to extend my warmest congratulations and a massive thank you to AnneMarie for 13 years of incredible service, inspiring leadership, and making such a positive impact on our community and bringing me on board as a Brand New Consultant and putting up with all my questions & photo ideas
Please join us in wishing AnneMarie a very happy 13th Consultant Anniversary! Here's to many more years of helping dreams come true!
Can you remember when you first met AnneMarie & what venue? (she has moved about Buncrana a bit)
