Real Success

Sian Wembridge from Swansea is celebrating after being named Slimming World’s Consultant Slimmer of the Year 2006. With an amazing 12st 13lbs weight loss, Sian is not only revelling in her life-changing transformation, she’s also proud to have the ‘best job in the world’.

“I’ve been overweight all of my adult life, gaining weight in my late teens. After having a miscarriage it escalated out of all proportion as I comfort ate. I had high blood pressure, thrombophlebitis in both legs and every joint in my body hurt when I moved. I was so overweight that I suffered from depression and had no confidence to even try to get a job.

“The final straw was a family holiday to Disneyland Paris. I was embarrassed to be offered a seatbelt extension on the plane and I couldn’t enjoy the rides with my children. I had a miserable time.

"When I decided to join Slimming World I was terrified about going along to the meeting. I thought I would be mocked but when I walked in all I got was warmth, understanding and caring. The support of the group is amazing."

“I’ve tried every ‘diet’ under the sun. I always lost weight, along with the will to live! Straight away I realised Food Optimising was different. I love it – no food is banned and I’m never hungry. I love Free chips, Quorn sausages and beans. This way of eating is maintainable because it’s easy to live a normal life and still enjoy satisfying foods.

“When I started losing weight I started to increase my activity - I was unable to do much before, even walking to the end of the street used to kill me. Now, thanks to yoga, swimming and running I have my Body Magic Platinum award and intend keeping it! My husband calls me Zebedee – every time I sit down I bounce back up again! I can run 6½ miles in under an hour these days. Need I say more? Food Optimising is my miracle

“I have been at target now for almost a year and I have the best job in the world as a Slimming World Consultant. A lady joined my group not long back and said ‘I don’t know how you can help me; you’ve never had a weight problem in your life.’ She was stunned when she saw the ‘before’ pictures of me and I told her about my journey. She’s now doing really well with a beautiful weight loss.  

“My ambition is to go back to Disneyland and really enjoy it this time. I can do so much now with the children that I wear them out!

“All my health problems cleared up after losing weight. It’s such an amazing feeling to know that I have the knowledge to stay healthy forever, thanks to Food Optimising. Who would have thought that you can eat pasta, potatoes and rice in unlimited amounts and lose 13 stones! Thank you Slimming World!”
