<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nConsultant Suzy (@suzysums<\/a>) feels like a different person since this snap was taken at an obstacle course during friend\u2019s hen party in 2012. Since then, she\u2019s lost over 5st and found the confidence to say \u2018yes!\u2019 to every opportunity that comes her way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n She says: \u201cI absolutely dreaded that day, worrying that I would struggle and that people would see me as the \u2018big girl\u2019 who couldn\u2019t do it. I was so embarrassed when my worst nightmare came true and one of the volunteers had to help me over the last obstacle because I just couldn\u2019t pull my weight over it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe next time I arranged it! I was buzzing for it and with a group of my amazing members we raised lots of money for a local charity. We had such an awesome day (even if they did get a glimpse of my crazy competitive side \ud83d\ude4a)! It was a lush feeling knowing that this time around, I was going to enjoy myself completely. I wasn\u2019t worried about whether I could do it or not \u2013 I was just going to have fun.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n When Erika saw an unflattering snap of herself on holiday in Lanzarote, she was determined to do something about her plummeting confidence. After losing 5\u00bdst with Slimming World, she can\u2019t wait to get out on the beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n She says: \u201cSeeing that photo helped me realise how unhappy I was about my size, and I joined Slimming World as soon as I got home. Now, I feel fitter and healthier than I\u2019ve done in a long time, and my confidence has never been higher. I can\u2019t wait to book a holiday with the girls and stride across a sun-soaked beach in a bikini, feeling happy and confident about my body. I know I\u2019m going to love seeing the photos afterwards!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n MORE ON THE BLOG: Erika Spiller shares her 5\u00bdst weight loss diary<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Charlie (@charlie_does_slimmingworld<\/a>) was surprised by his own transformation when he saw these photos side by side, and it\u2019s easy to see why! Losing 6st has helped him to feel confident and more comfortable in his clothes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He says: \u201cSAME clothes, SAME person… a few years apart. The clothes were worn to a friend\u2019s wedding. I remember them being so tight and restrictive. The trousers rubbed my legs and it was a warm day so I was uncomfortable. This is one of the few photos that even showed me there. Making a speech that day, I was a bag of nerves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe picture on the right was taken on Saturday. It felt surreal to put them on and I must admit, I had a struggle to keep the trousers up, as they kept falling down. I had to take these pictures using a camera, tripod and my phone as a remote control, hence the awkward pose and sullen look. My expression on seeing the comparison pictures was definitely not like the look in the picture!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Stevie (@slimmingste<\/a>) looks amazing after losing 5st, and the difference weight loss has made to her mental health and family life is truly inspiring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n She says: \u201cMay 2018: Putting a smile on my face and hiding behind a scarf! I had been diagnosed with post-partum psychosis for around a month and looking after myself physically was the last thing on my mind! August 2020: Ready to head out with my girls 5st down with 3 and a bit to go to target.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Looking back at the photo that started her slimming journey inspired Lauren (@downsizingflabulously<\/a>) to get back on track with her weight loss after a couple of challenging weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n She says: The photo on the left was taken in 2017, when I performed in Disneyland Paris with my university. I wasn\u2019t even at my heaviest at that point either. The photo on the right was taken a couple weeks ago, after going on a shopping haul to find new clothes because my current ones are too big now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Steven Little<\/a> was spurred on to lose 6st 3lbs after his weight stopped him from getting on a theme park ride while on holiday in Florida.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He says: \u201cI was full of excitement when I reached the front of the long queue for a Harry Potter ride at Universal Studios. But when I took my seat, I couldn\u2019t get the safety bar over my stomach. Within six months of joining Slimming World, I\u2019d hit my target weight and it was time to book a return trip to Florida. And this time I went on every single ride, with a huge grin on my face. It\u2019s fantastic that I can now enjoy my holidays to the full.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n MORE ON THE BLOG: Y\u2019all love our USA and Mexico-inspired recipes<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n I love this transformation photo Georgia (@gee.slimmingworld<\/a>) shared of herself with her daughter \u2013 the smiles on their faces say it all!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Georgia says: \u201cThis comparison literally blows my own mind! The photo on the left had me in literal tears! I cannot believe in just over a year I\u2019ve gone from the first photo to the second one! Not only has my weight loss changed my life physically but it\u2019s changed me mentally. My confidence has grown 10 times bigger and I could not be happier.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n We hope flicking through our Slimming World photo album has helped you feel inspired!
