Tracey feels on top of the world

I’m a serial dieter, blaming everything from hormones to polycystic ovaries for an eight stone weight gain over 10 years.

Discovering Food Optimising and the Extra Easy choice has been a revelation to me. I’m at the beginning of what will be a long journey – but it’s a journey I know I’ll enjoy, and one that I’m looking forward to.   

Six weeks in and I’m already one stone lighter, but more importantly I’m armed with self-belief and feeling empowered to continue thanks to my supportive Consultant, Russell and my inspirational group. I’m looking forward to writing again this time next year, knowing I will report success!  Thank you Slimming World and thank you Russell – my life’s changing already!

Friends slimming together

My friend Mel lost lots of weight with Food Optimising and became a Slimming World Consultant herself. 

I heard about her group and decided to join. I was too scared to go on my own, so I dragged a friend along with me.  I didn’t need to be scared as everyone was so welcoming and really friendly.

I found Food Optimising really easy to get started and change my eating habits. I've swapped bags of crisps for big bowls of fruit salad and vegetable crudités with a delicious dip. I also eat a big cooked breakfast like bacon, eggs, mushrooms, beans, tomatoes and toast that sets me up for the day ahead.

I lost 3½lb in the first week – I couldn’t believe it!  And my friend lost 5lb, which was fantastic! It's really given us both the confidence to carry on, and another one of our friends is coming along too!

Climbing victory

I became ill in the early part of 2010 and had three months of feeling awful until I was diagnosed with gall bladder problems.  However nothing was done for some time and during this time I was made redundant from my job as a climbing instructor.

In July 2010 I was admitted to hospital and had my gall bladder removed with the prospect of six weeks in recovery. As I was unemployed I did very little exercise and just ate my way through the time.   

I was lucky enough to get a new job in September but I realised I was carrying too much weight to climb. My daughter told me about Slimming World, so I joined in February 2011. I’ve lost nearly 2 stones and I’m nearly at my target weight.  I’m so grateful for Food Optimising; I found it easy to follow, I was never hungry, I had no cravings and I was still able to have a glass of wine or my favourite foods.

I’m now fitter and I feel better than I have done for years and this is all thanks to Slimming World.  Jan, my Consultant is fantastic and full of inspiration. She never gets upset or angry if we don’t lose weight, instead she empowers us to come back the next week with a fab weight loss. It’s a great group full of friends and we’re all keen to help others achieve their weight loss dreams.

Amazing benefits of Body Magic

The website, Slimming World magazine, my friendly Consultant, Linda and my fellow members have all helped and inspired me to lose 3st 3lb!

Image Therapy is a joy and I learn so much from hearing the success stories of the group. If someone’s had a bad week then I try to encourage and support them for the week ahead by sharing my favourite meals, recipes and what’s worked well for me.

When I started working towards my Body Magic awards I started toning up my body and losing inches as well as pounds. I make walking a big part of my daily routine and try to walk at a fast pace for 30-60 minutes every day. On holiday in Majorca I’d go for a walk before the sun got too hot then would soak up the rays and splash about in the pool. Along with making healthy choices at mealtimes I came back with a 4lb loss!

I’m planning to lose another 2 stone before my nephew’s wedding in July. Thank you Slimming World for turning my life around. I’m determined to get to target soon and look forward to being a target member for life.

Lindy Beach

Body Magic brings results that are so much more than simply burning up a few extra calories and it’s great to hear Lindy’s feeling the benefits of walking. Read more about Body Magic and how you can start feeling great today!

Things are looking great for Lisa

I’ve just recently joined Slimming World and have found the Extra Easy choice so simple to follow and really enjoyable – it’s amazing!

I’ve tried many ways to lose weight and I’ve always felt deprived and starved. At meal times my kitchen was almost like a restaurant as I was making one meal for me and another meal for the rest of my family. With Food Optimising everyone in my house eats the same, and my children are enjoying all the lovely Slimming Word recipes.

Food Optimising is a fantastic way to lose weight as I haven't felt hungry or the need to go without anything. But the best bit by far is that I lost a staggering 7½lb in my first week! I never in a million years thought I could lose so much weight by tucking into delicious, filling meals like spag bol, curries and roast dinners.
