Our target member Karen-
I joined Slimming World on 2 August 2025.
A friend of mine recommended it as she had just lost 2 stone. She is in a group in Stamford.
My main reason for joining was that I had just received a cholesterol test that said I was in danger of a heart attack or stroke.
My mom died from a stroke, so I decided I needed to take charge of my eating.
I googled my local Slimming World group and found Amanda at Sunnyside Barn, not far from where I live.
I called her the same day and attended my first group that Saturday.
My first day happened to be a taster day, and I was introduced to loads of free or low swip foods.
It also happened to be the same day Julie Dade reached her 5.5 Stone target award.
GREAT MOTIVATION👍
It took about a week to familiarise myself with the plan, however I decided from the start this was going to become a way of life, not just a diet.
I hit my target at the end of November '25 and have not only brought my cholesterol down to a normal level I am now 2 Stone lighter.
The support from Amanda and my new friends at Slimming World have made the journey a pleasurable one.
I go to group every week, not that I have to weigh weekly, now being at target. But because the support and commeradery is invaluable.
We all celebrate everyone's wins and encourage those who hit a bump in the road.
There is only support and acceptance, no condemnation.
It's one of the best decisions I've ever made for myself😁
The hardest step is the first one, but what have you got to loose, other than extra weight, but so much more is gained by being part of a caring group of friends
If you’d like to try Slimming World why not pop along to our group on Saturday at 8.30am. We meet at Sunnyside Barn in Dunnings Road ,East Grinstead
