Leyburn Slimming World with Helen

Losing weight is so much more than the number on the scales… it’s about the life you gain. ❤️

Today, while out on a walk with the children, we came across this rope swing. After they’d both had a go, they turned to me and said, “Mum, you have a go!”

Seven stone ago, that would have been an instant no.

I would have been terrified the rope or even the tree would snap, and the embarrassment would have been unbearable. In reality, I probably wouldn’t even have been out on the walk in the first place.

But today? I didn’t hesitate. I grabbed the rope, without hesitation, and made another memory with my children.

That’s what losing weight has given me. Not just a smaller body, but more confidence, more freedom, more energy and so many more yes moments.

The best part of my journey isn’t what I’ve lost… it’s everything I’ve gained. ❤️

Exciting news coming… any guesses?

Summer can sometimes feel like a time when routines go out of the window ☀️❤️. Between holidays, meals out, BBQs and busy weekends, it can feel harder to stay focused.

A few things that really help me are:

Planning ahead where I can
Keeping easy meal ideas available
Avoiding skipping meals
Enjoying occasions without guilt
Remembering that one meal never ruins progress if you stay on track

Healthy habits aren't about being perfect, they're about finding something that works in real life 🙌.

What's your biggest challenge during summer ☀️😊?

What a smile! 🤩🎉

A huge congratulations to our lovely Lorna, who was absolutely over the moon to receive her 2 stone award in group this morning! 🥳💚

Two stone is an incredible achievement and a reflection of all the planning, commitment and determination you’ve shown along the way. It doesn’t happen by chance – you’ve earned every single pound lost.

We’re all so proud of you, Lorna. Enjoy every moment of this milestone… here’s to the next one! 🌟💚👏

One of the best feelings isn't always seeing a number change on the scales ❤️. Sometimes it's putting on clothes and thinking: "I feel good today ✨!” Those little confidence moments can mean everything 🙌.

Would you like to feel amazing at your next big milestone or event? Join my Leyburn Methodist Hall group on Wednesdays at 9am & 6pm.

While the children are at swimming lessons, I’m making the most of the time by planning our meals for the week ahead and writing my shopping list.

It might not sound exciting, but this little bit of planning saves me so much time, stress and those “what’s for tea?” moments later in the week. It also helps me stay on track with my own Food Optimising, even when life gets busy.

Let me know of any must try’s that need adding to my list! 😋
