Join us in celebrating Yvonne, our Top Target Consultant 2026. She lost an incredible 8st 7lbs (54kg) almost 10 years ago and has kept it off ever since 💞

Yvonne says that losing weight completely transformed her life. She’s a total ‘yes’ person now 🥰 whereas before, she’d stay at home and hide away. In fact, losing weight gave her the confidence to say ‘yes’ to the biggest question of all, a marriage proposal from now husband Paul 💍

Show Yvonne some love in the comments below, then tap here to read about her journey, and how she’s helping others achieve their dreams too 👀: https://bit.ly/4u0clqj xXx

Tonight’s meet the member is Pam 💞 another inspiration to us all. Have a read at her story xXx

I always knew I’d put on weight over the years, but I kept telling myself it was just part of getting older. When both my parents became ill, I turned to food for comfort. With the daily drives an hour each way to hospitals and the hospice, I would grab chocolate for the journey, then come home and still have a full dinner.
After losing both of them, that pattern didn’t stop. Food became a way of coping with the grief, and my mobility suffered too. Living with MS made exercise more challenging, and everything just felt harder.

My Slimming World journey began in the summer of 2023, sparked by a comment from an elderly gentleman I knew. He mentioned how much weight I’d put on and although it stung, it also pushed me to take action.
The very next week, without telling a soul, I walked into a Slimming World group and joined. I was welcomed instantly, and to my surprise, I recognised so many familiar faces. I didn’t feel alone anymore.

As I learned how easy Slimming World meals could be, I began trying recipes that I ended up loving.
Cajun pork and apple burgers became a family favourite, full of flavour but completely on plan.
I’d make sticky pork with sesame seeds on days when I wanted something that felt like a treat but still kept me in control.
For meat-free days, curried cauliflower and spinach was a go to filling, tasty, and perfect for staying satisfied.
And whenever I needed something simple but delicious, I made piri piri drumsticks, which quickly became part of my weekly routine.
I honestly couldn’t believe how easy it was to lose weight while enjoying food like that.

With my 60th birthday approaching in summer 2024, I set myself a target and I smashed it. I lost 3 stone.
Not long after, my daughter announced her wedding for June 2025, which motivated me even more to maintain my weight loss. By then I had dropped to a size 8, and I’ve stayed there ever since.

I’ve gained a few pounds here and there, but always within my target range. Most importantly, I feel healthier, happier, and more in control. Every day I’m out walking along the beach with my dog something that once felt so difficult.
Slimming World didn’t just help me lose weight; it gave me my confidence, my mobility, and my joy back.

Sunday nights member has also lost nearly 10 stone, 9 stone of this in a year following our slimming world plan 💞 xXx

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Nicola, a busy mum of five and devoted nurse, began 2024 facing one of the hardest moments of her life, a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes and the uncomfortable realisation that her weight had played a major role in this. A family holiday to Gran Canaria shortly after left her avoiding photos and feeling deeply unhappy with how she looked.

But Nicola didn’t stay in that place. She returned home, joined Slimming World, and set herself bold targets. Nicola wanted five stone by Christmas, seven stone by her 40th and trip to New York & nine stone by her one-year anniversary. Incredibly, she hit every single milestone, even reaching the nine-stone loss on the exact date she’d started. Since then, she’s lost almost another stone taking her weight loss to just under 10 stone.

Her healthy habits became part of everyday life: she never skips breakfast, uses the 7-day magazine meal planners in the magazine and on the app and cooks favourite family dishes like chilli and burger in a bowl. And she still enjoys meals out, simply making smart swaps like choosing rice or potatoes instead of wraps with fajitas.

Late in the year, Nicola was diagnosed with microvascular disease, but her weight loss made the condition far less serious than it could have been. Today she feels healthier, more energetic, and more confident than she has in years.

Nicola’s transformation isn’t just about weight loss it’s about taking control, finding balance, and building a life she can thrive in whilst making lifetime memories with her children.
