Slimming World Devonport with Jo

Slimming World Devonport with Jo I’m Jo, still on my own journey and here to help you with yours. Let’s feel good again, together 💕

Slimming World Devonport - Mount Wise Neighbourhood Centre every Thursday at 7pm & Friday at 9:30 - 07976917768.

Can I tell you what actually happens when you come to my Slimming World group?

You get weighed.

And then…

Nobody shouts at you.

Nobody tells you off.

Nobody makes you feel rubbish about what you ate last week.

Instead, we talk.

We share ideas.
We celebrate the good stuff.
We work out what might help when things haven’t gone so well.
And most importantly, we make a plan for the week ahead.

There’s a cuppa.
There’s usually plenty of laughing and sometimes you’ll catch me dressed up for the occasion.
And there are people in the room who completely understand what it feels like because they’re doing it too.

If you’ve been nervous about joining, I get it.

But I promise, the hardest bit is usually walking through the door for the first time.

After that, you’ll wonder what you were worrying about.

Little reminder from me today…

I’m not standing here pretending I’ve got it all sussed.

I’m still on my own Slimming World journey and I still have around two stone I want to lose.

I have good weeks.
I have weeks where life gets in the way.
I have meals that don’t quite go to plan.

The difference now is that I don’t think one wobble means I’ve failed.

I just carry on.

And that’s exactly what I want for the people who walk through my group doors too.

You don’t need to be perfect.
You don’t need to know everything.
You don’t need to have your whole life organised before you start.

You just need to walk through the door.

If you’ve been thinking about joining us in Devonport, this could be your week.

September has that funny little feeling of a fresh start, doesn’t it?

Pretty sure all of the kids are back at school, routines are starting to return and suddenly we realise we’ve spent the summer saying…

“I’ll get back on it in September.”

Well, hello September.

You don’t need to wait for another Monday.
You don’t need to undo the summer.
And you definitely don’t need to feel guilty about enjoying yourself.

You just need to decide what you want the next few weeks to look like.

My Slimming World groups in Devonport are here for exactly that.

Friendly faces.
No judgement.
Plenty of support.
And a good old natter along the way.

Mount Wise Neighbourhood Centre.

Thanks to everyone who recommended Donna Tackles Slimming World to me.

She’s fab and I’m honestly loving the inspiration to cook again and trying things I probably wouldn’t normally make.

Today was her taco orzo bake… except I didn’t have any orzo, so rice it was!

And it got the official Mr G taste test seal of approval, so I’m calling that a win. Paul is very good at giving his honest opinion… whether I ask for it or not!

Definitely one I’ll be making again.

Eggy cheesy sweet potato… and WOW!

I made the eggy cheese/cheesy egg thing I’ve been talking about, mixed with fat-free Greek yoghurt, salt, pepper and spring onion.

Piled it onto a baked sweet potato, added a big salad and some ham.

And honestly… it was bloody delicious.

So delicious that I massively overestimated how much I could eat and only managed half!

And do you know what? That’s OK.

I didn’t force myself to finish it just because it was on my plate. I listened to my belly and saved the rest for another meal.

The dogs, however, were VERY happy with my over-ordering of ham.

Back to basics really does work. Simple food, loads of flavour and absolutely no feeling like I’m missing out.

This is definitely going on the menu.

What’s your favourite “back to basics” meal at the moment?

Honesty post…

Last week in group, we went right back to basics.

After a difficult summer for many of us, with children home from school, holidays, BBQs, days out and it being far too hot to even think about cooking, it felt like we all needed a reset.

And I’ll be honest, that included me.

This summer has been a struggle for me too. I’m still on my own journey and I still have another two stone I want to lose. Being a consultant doesn’t mean I get it right every day. Sometimes I need to stop, refocus and take my own advice.

I asked everyone to remember how they felt after their first week on plan.

That feeling when you realised how much food you could enjoy.

When meals didn’t feel like “diet food”.

When you understood that Food Optimising wasn’t about going hungry or being perfect. It was about making simple choices, planning ahead and enjoying proper food.

So today, I’m taking it right back to basics with my blueberry overnight oats baked, yum!

Nothing complicated. Just planned, prepared and ready to help me start the day on track.

Who else is joining me for a back-to-basics week?

I sometimes wonder what people imagine happens at our Slimming World group.

Probably 30 people sitting in a circle being told off for eating a biscuit.

Thankfully… absolutely not.

You’ll get weighed privately.

Nobody announces your weight.

Then if you stay for Image Therapy, we talk about real life.

What’s gone well.

What hasn’t.

Meals.

Weekends.

Work.

Social plans.

The occasional “I ate it because it was there” incident.

And most importantly, what you’re going to do over the next seven days.

No judgement.

Just a room full of people who get it ❤️

117lb GONE in August.

That’s 8 stone 5lb lost between just two small groups here in Mount Wise.

Just take that in for a minute!

Two little groups. One brilliant community. And a huge amount to be proud of.

It’s not just about the pounds either. It’s people showing up, keeping going, getting back on track when life gets in the way and supporting each other every single week.

That’s what group is all about.

Honestly, 117lb between us in one month is pretty amazing.

Well done everyone, I’m so blooming proud of every single one of you.

What a month ❤️
