Slimming World at Allestree with Imagin

01/08/2026

💫 3.5 stone down. Target in sight. A journey worth sharing. 💫

Hi everyone, this is Sarah… ❤️

Sarah has lost an incredible 3.5 stone so far and has kindly agreed to share her experience, what has helped her along the way, and the difference her healthier lifestyle has made.🥰

⬇️ Here’s Sarah’s story ⬇️

⭐ How have you been feeling since living a healthier lifestyle on the Slimming World plan?

💬 “I wake up feeling better, I don’t sound like an asthmatic donkey going upstairs, and I’m moving around a lot easier.” 😂

⭐ What has helped or inspired you the most?

💬 “Doing it for my health has been the biggest push, but being able to find clothing in my size as I reduced down has been a bonus and kept me going too.

Imagin has been a huge help in how she runs her group, how friendly and approachable she is, and the positivity she brings.” 🥰

⭐ You’ve continued your journey alongside CFS/M.E and ADHD — what would you like people to know?

💬 “Knowing I can still do this alongside having CFS/M.E and ADHD is important. Both conditions can make it challenging, but if you’re committed and work with your conditions rather than fighting them, you can do it.”

⭐ What would you say to someone who’s thinking about joining but struggling to motivate themselves?

💬 “Be honest with yourself and ask what is stopping you. Could you buddy up with someone and go together if you feel you can’t do it alone?

Remember it is a lifestyle change and not a diet. It’s the easiest plan I have followed — you can do it with minimal weighing and measuring, and you set your own target. If you know another member, ask them questions to put your mind at rest.” 🤞

⭐ What do you enjoy most about coming to group?

💬 “I love how friendly and positive everyone is in group, how we all support each other and celebrate each other’s wins together.

Imagin’s talks and activities are all very informative and fun. I can arrive feeling deflated or low after a stressful week and leave feeling so much better and energised for the week.”

A huge thank you to Sarah for sharing her journey and for giving me her blessing to share these brilliant progress pictures! 👏 ❤️

I am so proud of everything Sarah has achieved so far, 3.5 stone lost is amazing, but the confidence, health benefits, and positivity you’ve gained along the way are what make this journey so special! 🌟

If you’ve been thinking about joining us, come along and see what our friendly group is all about. We’d love to welcome you 💕

“I know I couldn’t have done it on my own…”

Hi everyone, this is Karen…

And her story is just incredible!✨

⭐ 2½ stone lost so far & well on her way to achieving her target weight
⭐ More confidence, more energy, more life
⭐ Woman of the Year 2025

Here is what Karen has to say about her amazing progress and journey so far:

💪“I feel so much better since losing 2.5 stone. I go to the gym 3 times a week, I can go for good hikes and even climb the odd mountain. I struggled to do this before losing weight. I don’t get out of breath as much and I’m more confident when exercising.”

But for Karen, this journey is about SO much more than weight loss…

❤️‍🩹 “My Mum and Grandma both had diabetes and both died early (57 and 60). I have always been scared of diabetes and want to be around my family for a long and healthy life. I’m 65 now and looking forward to many more healthy years!🤞. My metabolic age is 52 and I’m very proud of that.”

And what made the difference?💭

❤️“Definitely the Group and my consultant! The Group have been a constant source of empathy and great suggestions for recipes etc. My consultant has known just when to be supportive or give me a nudge when I’ve been slacking too much. I need a nudge now and again. The Group gives me time to reflect and kickstart a new week. No judgement, just support.” 💌

And Karen’s advice to anyone who feels nervous about making a change and joining Slimming World?

👉 “Come along to our Group and just give it a go. I felt nervous when I entered that room for the first time but I need not have worried. The Group was warm and welcoming. I’ve lost 2.5 stone and I know I couldn’t have done it on my own.”

Want to see some of the delicious meals Karen has been filling up on to achieve a 2½ stone weight loss so far? 🤩 Pics below!👇

Karen has also very kindly given her blessing to share her before/after pictures. ❤️

✨We are so proud of Karen, she looks & feels fabulous! ✨ This is what group is all about: support, motivation, and real life-changing results!💛

Soooo frustrating because I know I could have done this but you don’t realise how high up off the ground you are until it’s too late! 🙈

Oh well… back to muscle-strengthening and working on a fear of heights whilst on monkey bars! 🤣🙈

Hi everyone 💛 This is Maria…

And her journey is truly inspiring ✨

Maria has lost 1½ stone 💛 (and she’s now approaching her Diamond award in August after maintaining her dream weight for almost a whole year 💎)!

But what makes her story even more incredible…

She is now in remission from Type 2 diabetes!🙌 Her diabetic nurse was that impressed by her progress that she joined Slimming World herself! ❤️

Here’s what Maria had to say about her journey:

💛 “I really enjoy eating healthier meals. My main struggle is finding suitable food when dining out. Ive found that you can ask for some changes to be made to the meal in some restaurants. I’m also known for taking a bottle of my favourite salad dressing with me.”

👗 “I love being the dress size that I have achieved and intend on going to group every week to maintain my weight loss.”

🥳 “Going to group is fun. Members share tips and you always leave with a smile on your face. Having a consultant who is passionate helps.”

💛 “I really look forward to going to group every week and have made some lovely friends. It’s upbeat and fun. We do have some serious conversations too about feelings and emotions, its all part of the process. You are never judged.”

❤️ And her advice to anyone thinking of joining?

👉 “I’d encourage anyone thinking of joining to just come along and give it a go. Everyone is so friendly and encouraging. The hardest step is walking through the door!”

One of my favourite things about being a SW consultant (as well as the 1,000 other reasons) is actually something really simple… putting together our weekly raffle prizes! 🤭 🎁

I’ve been putting some little bundles together lately and have tried some of the Spice N Tice boxes, which went down very well! 👏 I make it my mission to try and do something a little different each week and so far, I think Ive done ok…!😍

If you could win ONE of these… which one are you picking? 👀👇

Thanks to losing weight with Slimming World, Mary ditched her self-doubt and swapped it for heaps of confidence... which she’s using to try all kinds of new activities 🏄‍♀️.

That’s her reason to feel real good. What’s yours? Let us know 😍!
