Slimming World with Chantell

✨ IT’S SO MUCH MORE THAN LOSING WEIGHT… ✨

Sometimes we look at someone’s before & after photo and think, “Wow, look at the weight they’ve lost!” ❤️

But what you don’t always see in that picture is everything that happened along the way…

✨ The confidence that came back
✨ Clothes that started fitting differently
✨ Feeling comfortable in photos again
✨ Having more energy
✨ Learning how to enjoy food without feeling guilty
✨ Getting back into routines after holidays, life changes and difficult times
✨ Having a group of people who understand
✨ And, most importantly… believing in yourself again ❤️

These are just a few of the amazing people who have made changes by taking that first step through the doors of my Slimming World groups.

And none of them had a perfect journey.

There were weekends away. Holidays. Birthdays. Tough weeks. Emotional eating. Times when motivation disappeared.

But they kept coming back. And that’s what makes the difference. 💕

September is a fresh start. 🍂

If you’ve been thinking “I really need to get back on track” or “I’d love to feel like myself again”, please don’t wait until Monday… or next week… or January.

Come and have a chat with me. You’ll be made very welcome. 🥰

Meet my members Jeff and Janet ❤️

Jeff wanted to share a bit about his Journey so far ……

Approximately 17 weeks ago I attended the Rivers Hospital for a pre surgery consultation for a ventral hernia repair.
After being weighed and measured in height the consultant gave me the news that the procedure could not go ahead because of my BMI reading being too high.
I was told to come back in 3 months after trying to lose a considerable amount of weight.
The Rivers Hospital wrote to my doctor to ask if I could be put on weight loss injections to achieve the needed weight loss.
I wasn’t keen to go on these injections at all but thought it may be the answer in the small time frame that I was given.
Anyway, I was refused the said medication as I did not have any other underlying health problems.
What I was offered were tablets that I was told would help me lose up to 6% of my body weight in 12 weeks.
What I should add is at this time my weight was 16 stone 7 pounds.
What to do ????.
My wife, Janet suggested that we join Slimming World, she had good results in the past using this method.
I could’nt think of a good reason to disagree.
So off we went to our local group.
Enter Chantell, our now leader of the world of slimming haha.
Chantell was and continues to be our savior, she has encouraged and guided me through my journey so far.
With her help and advice I managed to lose 10% of my body weight in 8 weeks !
Which bettered the tablet option hands down.
My current weight is 14 stone as of 31st July and hoping to be in the next stone bracket on Friday!! 💪
All that weight lost in 16 weeks.
I’m happy to say that on my recent visit to the Rivers Hospital I passed the challenge that I was set with flying colours.
The consultant said to me that the injections seem to have done the trick ?.
I was more than happy to advise him that they were never received.
I’ve now signed the operation consent forms and am awaiting a surgery date.
I have now set my weight loss target to 13 and a half stone, and am quietly confident that this can be achieved.
I’d just like to finish up by saying thank you to Chantell and all the so friendly, supportive people in our fabulous group, you are all an inspiration.
Lastly a massive thank you to my wife Janet whose constant support and incredible slimming meals have helped me so much.
Thank you Janet, luv ya to bits xx
Jeff Daniels.
Ps. Another part of my journey is that I was diagnosed with prostate cancer last year and I know that the change of lifestyle that I have taken can only be of benefit to this particular problem.

Keep well everyone x

Meet my amazing member Sue ❤️

How it all began…..I was in my late 50s, I have fibromyalgia, I couldn’t walk far and had trouble with stairs in the morning.
I Got offered a health check by my doctors. I knew I was overweight and thought I was reasonable fit. I had to get on the scales, they did my height and BMI which was way too high.
I was 15 stone and was told I am clinically obese.
I got home and cried. Christmas was coming up so I decided to wait till after the Christmas holiday To join a local slimming group.

The journey begins
I saw an article in a local newspaper about a slimming world group near where I lived and so I joined on 7th January 2015.
It was so frightening walking through the doors. Little did I know that My whole life would change for the better.
I weighed 14 stone 12lb so I had lost a little bit, I didn’t set a target as I really didn’t believe it would work as I had done quite a few different slimming groups before without success.
I decided then I will not be fat at 60. I didn’t lose big amounts of weight a little each week. Slow but sure, the weight started dropping off and I was getting thinner, I became healthier, fitter, the fibromyalgia wasn’t so bad I could move a lot more easier including going up the stairs.
12 months later on 14 December 2015, I got to target losing 4 and half stone!!
I was shocked it worked, finally I was happy, little more confident, didn’t mind photos be taken by family (I use to hide behind people). I couldn’t have done it without my family and slimming world group support that helped a lot.

One year on I became a diamond member.
Won a few slimming world competitions on the way.
So my Journey continues
I still go to group very week, I found this helps me stay focused. I have lost another half stone as I set a new target of 5 stone. I walk long distances every day no which I love and find easy to do now.

On my fridge is a photo of me when I first joined slimming world, I look at that and think I cannot go back to looking like that.
In December 2025 would you believe I have been a target member for 10 years!!!
Yes I still stay to group every week because I don’t think I would be where I am today if it wasn’t for slimming world.
I had to change slimming world groups a couple of times and would like to thank slimming world and all my consultants that have helped me on my journey.

Also, our group At Old Harlow on a Friday morning with Chantell is such a friendly and welcoming group. Thank you all.

How lovely is this post!!

Today I wanted to write an appreciation post for all Slimming World Consultants and Slimming World groups.

A Slimming World Consultant is so much more than someone standing at the front of group talking about the plan. They are your supporter, your encourager, your cheerleader, and someone who genuinely wants to help you achieve your dream weight. Weight loss can be life-changing and, in some cases, even life-saving, and Consultants honestly deserve so much credit for the role they play in helping people achieve that.

I know I have quite a few Slimming World Consultants who follow my page, and I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you for everything you do to help people transform their lives.

Personally, I would never have lost 10 stone without my amazing Consultant, Rainy, and her incredible Slimming World group. When you walk through the doors of my group, you're welcomed into a room full of inspirational, supportive people who quickly become like family. No matter how your week has gone, they help you pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and focus on the results you want to achieve.

Together, the Consultant and the members create that spark of motivation when you need it most. Group support helps you learn the plan, but it also gives you understanding, encouragement and inspiration from people who truly empathise with how being overweight can weigh you down. Group lifts you up, reminds you that you're not alone, and helps you find more light than darkness on your journey.

Over the years, I've attended a few different Slimming World groups. Every group is unique because every Consultant brings their own personality, experiences and perspective. But that's what makes them all so special. Every group may have its own unique personality, but they all have one thing in common – they bring people together through kindness, encouragement and unwavering support.

So once again, thank you to every Consultant, thank you to Slimming World, and thank you to every group member. One simply can't function without the other. Together, you create an environment where transformation is possible, helping people change their lives and, in some cases, even save them.

You are all amazing, and you should be incredibly proud of the difference you make every single day. ❤️

Meet my member Neale

A little bit about my journey:

I was 23 stone 11 pounds when my doctor diagnosed me with diabetes and suggested going to slimming world, that was around 14 years ago!
I’ve been coming to Slimming world on and off and almost made it to my target of 18 stone, I got so close by getting to 18st 3lb!
Life got in the way at times but
I know it’s a matter of determination and refocusing and our group is so helpful with all the encouragement that we share together!
Looking at old photos made me realise just how big I was, and reminded me of how I struggled with basic day to day things.
I’m now just under 19st and am determined to continue heading for my target as I love the extra energy that it gives me and it’s so much healthier and better for my daily well-being.

I have just had an amazing holiday to Disneyland with my 5 grandchildren & family….. walked 6-8 miles a day in 40 degrees! I lost 3lb!!

Looking forward seeing everyone in group on Friday.

I would love to help you also become a healthier happier version of yourself just like Neale.

My groups are on Tuesdays in North Weald and on Thursdays and Fridays in Old Harlow
