Many of our members come to Slimming World having tried lots of different ways to lose weight \u2013without success. It can be a real revelation to discover a no-hunger healthy eating plan which actually works! Here, our incredible Miss Slinky and Mr Sleek 2023 share how the support of their group has been the key to their slimming success… <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019d tried every diet you could think of… then I joined Slimming World and lost nearly 7st\u201d<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n Working as an NHS nurse is intense, and at 17st 4lbs, I\u2019d finish each shift utterly exhausted. I\u2019d been on every diet you could think of \u2013 soups, shakes, calorie counting\u2026 They\u2019d all work for a bit, but I\u2019d soon lose motivation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The turning point came after I received my new XL hazmat suit at the hospital \u2013 the first time I bent over in it, it ripped all the way from my neck to my bottom. I laughed it off, but on the inside, I was mortified. That\u2019s when I decided to give Slimming World a go. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I was very nervous at the thought of joining a group, but I had a feeling that attending each week would help me stay on track in a way I hadn\u2019t been able to before. And I was right \u2013 the support I got there helped me to understand my relationship with food more deeply, which enabled me to change my mindset around eating. I\u2019d always assumed I needed to snack on sugary treats to keep me going on long shifts \u2013 but I found that filling up on healthy meals kept me perfectly fuelled for the day. I started to feel in control of my eating habits, even during the more stressful shifts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In total, I lost nearly 6st 12lbs with Slimming World, taking me to a healthy weight of 10st 6lbs. I have so much more energy now, and feel like I\u2019m the best version of myself for my patients, my family \u2013 and for me! <\/p>\n\n\n\nWatch Sarah\u2019s video <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
