Slimming World - REAL members, REAL weight loss, feeling REAL good!

Derry Slimming World consultants are coming together to share just a few of their members success stories, they tell us.

‘As a team in November alone our members have lost a staggering 7099lbs by eating real food” says Georgina mcCarter we have so many members that come to our groups and they say they haven’t ate as much food and can’t believe that they are seeing such great results” members like Caroline who tells us, I absolutely love that I can eat the same meals as my family and don’t have to eat “diet” food but never in my dreams would I have thought I could eat like this and loose 4st in 26weeks, It’s life changing!

Not only do members love that they can eat real food they also love being part of a group that is full of real like minded people, Rhonda explains, our groups are the heart and soul of everything we do at slimming world and as a testament to that Sarah has been supported in group to loose feel great for the wedding and continue to achieve her dream weight and is feeling healthier than ever!

Sarah says “I can’t thank my group and fellow members enough for everything they do each week to help encourage me and each other, they share tips, things that you don’t find in the slimming world books.. things that help them and it’s really helped me too”

This is echoed by Shelly members , Shelly says, ‘although Im a consultant were all members too. The groups  not only inspired there fellow members but also me! Our members just love nothing more than coming to group with her friend, sitting with a coffee and hearing everyone else’s stories and of course shares her own tips and ideas, one being making a list and knowing what she’s going to be having and at this time of the year that’s a chicken soup!

‘I get good ideas from the slimming world app and I love nothing better than a good simple soup or chicken dinner” keeping it real simple has help will help everyone achieve there target weight and change there lives forever!

When it comes to being more organised and for handiness for meals etc Ciara explains, “the slimming world meals are a life saver for not only myself when I’m in group and coming home late but also for many of my members” members like Erin who when she needs to pops into Iceland to stock up on these meals, “I love to cook but with the school runs and football and after school clubs sometimes it’s handy just to stick a meal in the microwave that I know is still 100% food optimised but 100% real tasty and filling too!

“This organisation and planning as well as making great changes to her mindset and behavioural changes have resulted in an 8st weight loss and changed her life completely!

Activity has always been a massive part of slimming worlds plan - it’s called Body magic – this is a unique support plan to get members more active with there being a plan for members that are sedentary to members that are already active and running marathons.

Carol tells us, “not only do I love getting out for a park run or going to the gym myself, my members are exactly the same, although it doesn’t mean you have to join a gym or cost anything… the best form of exercise is walking!

There are so many lovely routes to go locally like the river walk the walk ways through out our city and waterside are outstanding and-as my members say they always feel better for going and it really does help lift your mood as well as helping you sleep better too and of course it helps lower your chances of serious illness as well, this is only too true for Avril who lives daily with rheumatoid arthritis and lipodema and as part of her maintenance plan she enjoys paddle boarding and says, “feeling I get is unexplainable, I feel so much more relaxed and I honestly can just paddle out and get time to think about everything and put the world to rights” this also helps me maintain my weight loss and helps my shift in behavioural changes as before slimming world when I was down or low I would have turned to food."

If you are inspired by these amazing members come along and meet the rest! We are waiting to have you walk through our doors with the biggest welcome and a fresh start awaits you without ever looking back so that you learn to feel real good about yourself too!
