Meet Emma Lillie - one of our wonderful members at Ingleby Barwick slimming world - please have a read of her journey and I think you’ll agree she looks phenomenal 🩷👏😘
So in 2024 - I was told I was over weight (I knew) and that I was also diabetic. I weighed 18st 1lb - this was heavier than some of my drivers at work. I was embarrassed. I knew I’d gained weight as I had been eating my feelings. So, it was Easter Sunday and I was having my “usual” bowl full of desserts winging I was fat and I was asked “why don’t you come to Slimming World with me..!!”
I bit the bullet and joined the following Saturday.
I hummed and ahhhed all week as I was ashamed and embarrassed of how I looked and what I’d become. But it was the best thing I’ve done for myself.
Group has helped majorly. I say it all the time but we are family. We all support one another and have each others back. I personally have made special friends and extended my family. The love I receive is so cute. I’ve never been accepted the way I have here.
I have lost 5 stone at group, but lost 5st 3lb altogether. I am now 12st 12lb.
I’m not deprived. I don’t go without. I still have treats. I just don’t go OTT. I still live my life and go out and about. I’m just clever with it.
I can move easily.
I’m starting to get more confident.
I can fit clothes I didn’t think I’d ever wear again.
I’m so much healthier than I was and I have reversed the diabetes
I have still got a little way to go but I know I’ll be able to smash it with all the love and support I’m given from Adele and the group is second to none. I wouldn’t have achieved half of what I have without them.
