Slimming World With Jemma

11/06/2026

12 weeks ago today, I stepped on the scales and saw a 2.5lb gain. In that moment, I realised I had just 12 weeks until my holiday.

For months, I’d been finding excuse after excuse not to Food Optimise. I felt unhappy, frustrated, and angry with myself. The more I struggled, the worse I felt, and it became a vicious circle that I just couldn’t seem to break.

So, with 12 weigh-ins until my holiday, Project Jemma was born.

I found a 12-week tracker on here another consultant had created and asked ChatGPT to update it for me (Thank you Caroline if you should see this post 🩷) and decided it was time to go back to basics.
I watched the new member talk refresher on the app, completed food diaries, planned my meals each day, and gave myself a daily maximum SWIP allowance based on my plans.

The first week brought a lovely 2lb loss, and that was all I needed. The fire in my belly was back! 🔥
Week after week, I planned, prepared, weighed, measured, and stayed focused. Slowly but surely, the scales started moving in the right direction.
I set myself a goal each week and reminded myself every single day what I was working towards. I stayed consistent, trusted the process, and kept going even when it felt hard.

Today, with just one final weigh-in before my holiday, I am 26lbs down in 11 weeks! 🎉
I am absolutely over the moon and so incredibly proud of myself.

I’ve received so many lovely comments and compliments along the way, but more importantly, I feel fantastic. I’ve got my confidence back, I feel happier in myself, and I’ve proved that when I stop making excuses and start believing in myself, amazing things can happen.

If you’re struggling right now, please don’t give up. One good choice, one good day, and one good week can change everything. ❤️

This weeks raffle prize was Jewelled Salad from the member recipe section of the app 🥗✨

My 8am winner Vikki didn’t waste any time getting home and making this absolute beauty 😍

Served this evening with homemade kebab meat, a wholemeal pitta and swip FREE garlic sauce made with garlic and fat free yoghurt 🤤

Midway through May already 🎉

After really falling back in love with my journey in April, I’ve been so determined to keep building on the positive changes and habits I’ve created. 🥰

I know following the plan for one or two weeks isn’t enough to create long-lasting habits. It’s the consistency over time that really makes the difference, until those choices start to feel like second nature. ✨

I finished April with an overall loss of 11lbs, and I’m already 7lbs down in May so far 🙌
For the first time in a long time, I truly believe I’ll be back at target before my holiday ☀️

It’s not about being perfect every day, it’s about keeping going, learning, growing and trusting the process 💖

I hope May is going amazing for you all so far too — keep believing in yourselves, you’re capable of so much more than you think 🥰

As a Consultant, one of my favourite little perks is putting together our weekly raffle prizes 🥰

It could be a new recipe to try, a handy gadget, fresh fruit & veg or anything I feel will help support the winning member on their journey 💫

This week we’re talking SNACKS 🙌
Focusing on reaching for those Free & speedy options first, so what better way to get prepared than with a homemade Snackle Box made by yours truly 😍

Because let’s be honest… having the right things ready to grab can make all the difference on those busy days! 👏

So… who’s getting raffle tickets this week? 👀
And what do YOU love to see in the raffle? 🤔💭

Last weigh-in of April done ✔️

✨ -1.5lbs this week
✨ -11lbs for April

Honestly… I’m more than over the moon with this month 💫

April has been full of real life — birthdays, Easter, family gatherings, the highs and the lows (a fair few of those) — but through it all I stayed determined not to slip back into old habits.

I’ve shown up for myself in ways I haven’t for a long time…
✔️ Used my planner every single day
✔️ Weighed & measured all my Healthy Extras
✔️ Stayed within my SWIPs (apart from 1 very special day… because not every day your youngest daughter turns 21 🩷)
✔️ Kept active at least 5 days a week
✔️ No Easter egg
✔️ Stuck to Lent… still no fizzy drinks!

And do you know what… I feel really, very proud. Like properly proud.

It’s been a tough time recently — medication changes, life changes, just feeling a bit stuck — but this month I made a promise to focus on me again… and it’s starting to show ❤️

💬 If April didn’t go as planned for you, what will you change to make sure you leave May feeling proud of you?

Here’s to May… and even more loss

Something brand new is landing in the Slimming World food family… say hello to Cheese Toastie Bites! Our first ever savoury Healthy Extra ‘a’ choice 🔥

They’ll be available exclusively through Slimming World Kitchen from Monday 27th April as part of a small pilot.

Lightly baked, and full of delish cheesy-ness … I think these are going to be a bit hit
