serves 4
FREE
ready in 50 mins
What you need:
150g fat-free natural Greek yogurt
2 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp ground oregano
1 tsp paprika
4 lean lamb leg steaks (visible fat removed), each halved to give 8 thinner slices
1kg floury potatoes (such as Maris Piper or King Edward), cut into chips
1 cal cooking spray
½ small garlic clove, crushed
juice of lemon, plus wedges to serve
½ red cabbage, finely sliced
4 spring onions, sliced
350g cherry tomatoes, quartered
80g pomegranate seeds
15g fresh mint, leaves torn
15g fresh flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped
½ tsp dried red chilli flakes (optional)
You’ll also need two long metal kebab skewers
What you do:
1. Mix half the yogurt with the spices and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl. Add the lamb and toss to coat. Set aside to marinate while you prepare the chips, or cover with clingfilm and leave in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
2. Preheat your oven to 200°C/fan 180°C/gas. Spread the chips on a large, non-stick baking tray in a single layer and spray with cooking spray. Season and bake for 40 mins or until golden brown, turning halfway.
3. When the chips have been cooking for 10 mins, preheat your grill to high. Fold a slice of the lamb in half and thread across the two skewers. Repeat with the remaining slices so that all the lamb is stacked. Grill for 20 mins until cooked to your liking, turning halfway. Cover with foil, leave to rest for 10 mins , then remove from the skewers and slice thinly.
4. Mix the remaining yogurt with the garlic, lemon juice, 1 tbsp water and some seasoning, then set aside.
5. Divide the chips between four plates, then spoon over the lamb, cabbage, spring onions and tomatoes. Drizzle the garlic yogurt over each portion, the scatter with the pomegranate seeds, herbs and chilli flakes (if using). Serve with the lemon wedges.

Slimming World welcomes members who are taking weight loss medication (including Mounjaro, Ozempic or Wegovy) to provide that vital layer of support to help you lose weight and keep it off long after the prescription ends.

💙 Men’s Health Week 💙
This week is Men’s Health Week, a reminder that looking after ourselves isn’t just about the number on the scales.
It’s about having more energy.
It’s about feeling healthier.
It’s about being around for the people we love.
It’s about taking care of both our physical and mental wellbeing.
A huge well done to all the men in our groups who have taken that first step and continue showing up each week, even when life gets busy.
And if you’re supporting a husband, partner, dad, son, brother or friend on their own health journey, remember that encouragement and support can make all the difference.
Here’s to healthier, happier futures for everyone. 💙

We LOVE celebrating our non-scale victories. Members tell me they can move so much easier now, actually get off the floor without being helped, wear their wedding rings, pull the zip up on their boots, wear a size down, have people notice how different they look, there are loads of them and we love hearing about them in group. Supercharge your weight loss motivation by celebrating your own Non Scale Victories (NSVs) 🏆 as well as your progress on the scales! We’ll help you notice and appreciate all your NSVs at my Kingsclere group each week – and I promise, there will be loads 🎉! See you at the Fieldgate centre on Wednesday at 4pm and 5.30pm to get started.

✨ Official Oscars photos are in! ✨
I'm so incredibly proud of my amazing members. Your commitment, determination and refusal to give up on yourselves is what inspires me week in and week out. Watching you work towards your weight loss dreams and supporting one another is such a privilege. ❤️
And if I'm being completely honest, being a Consultant doesn't mean staying focused on my own weight loss is always easy (which may sound strange!). Just like you, I love food, I love a glass of wine, (yes I know) and sometimes I don't make the best choices. We're all human.
Did I feel my absolute best at the Oscars? No. I'm going to share my photo because I want to remember how I felt in that moment. 🥹 I even found myself wondering what it would be like not to have to wear support underwear!
But then I thought… how quick are we to criticise ourselves? How often do we forget to show ourselves the same kindness we show everyone else?
So I'm determined to keep my own focus on my weight loss journey alongside supporting my members. And I know that, with their understanding and encouragement, we'll all be feeling fabulous in just a few months' time… just in time for summer! ☀️💕
If you're looking for a supportive, understanding and committed group, we'd love to welcome you.
📍 Fieldgate centre, Kingsclere
📅 Wednesdays
⏰ 4pm and 5.30pm
Have any questions? Please pop them below. My members and I are ready and waiting to answer anything you'd like to know. Together, we really can do this. ❤️✨

If you've been a member with us before we'd LOVE to see you back. No judgement, just a big hug to welcome you back. See you soon.

8th-14th June 2026 - Diabetes Awareness Week
New diabetes prevalence figures show that there are now 4.6 million people in the UK who have a diagnosis of diabetes. Additionally, an estimated 6.3 million people live with non-diabetic hyperglycaemia, more commonly known as prediabetes. A further 1.3 million are living with undiagnosed type 2 diabetes. This means that more than 12 million people in the UK, or one in five adults, have either diabetes or prediabetes.
Slimming World and Diabetes UK have come together to share expertise on weight
loss, long-term healthy eating and diabetes. In partnership, we aim to support people living with all types of diabetes, and those at risk of developing type 2 diabetes, to manage their weight in a way that works for them.
An evaluation, published in the journal Archives of Diabetes & Obesity in 2021, showed that, of the Slimming World members surveyed:
📊33.9% of those with type 2 diabetes reported their diabetes had gone into remission; this increased to 51% for those who’d lost at least 10% of their body weight
📊61% were able to reduce or stop taking their diabetes medication
📊81% saw improvements in their blood glucose (also known as blood sugar levels)
management
📊80% reported an improved quality of life
📊76% found it easy to follow our Food Optimising eating plan alongside the dietary advice from their healthcare team.
The latest evaluation also includes members living with type 1 diabetes, with 88% reporting improvements in their blood sugar levels.
