What an incredible Wednesday morning in Church Gresley! 🥳🎉

I couldn’t be prouder of our amazing members and what they’ve achieved this week.

🌟 A huge congratulations to Pat, who has reached her dream target and picked up her incredible 6½ stone award! What an inspirational journey. Your determination, consistency and belief in yourself have been amazing to watch, and you truly deserve every bit of your success.

🌟 And congratulations to Cliff, who has now lost over 2 stone to reach his target too! A fantastic achievement that shows what can happen when you keep going, one step at a time.

These two prove that there isn’t one “right” way to succeed. Different journeys, different challenges, but the same commitment to never giving up. They have inspired everyone in group and shown that with support, determination and the Slimming World plan, incredible things really can happen.

Please help me celebrate these two superstars in the comments! 👏❤️

If you’re thinking about starting your own journey, or coming back to Slimming World, we’d love to welcome you. Your success story could be the next one we’re celebrating! 🥰

✨ Happy Monday everyone! ✨

It’s been a busy start to the week already! Doctors with my son first thing this morning, and now… straight to the gym! 💪

I’ve got my holiday coming up on Thursday, but I’m definitely not in holiday mode yet. There are no excuses because every choice we make today helps us feel better tomorrow.

It’s so easy to tell ourselves we’ll start after the holiday, on Monday, or next month… but why wait? Whether it’s planning your meals, sticking to your Slimming World plan, getting some movement in, or simply making one healthier choice today, those little steps soon add up to big results.

Remember, holidays are there to be enjoyed, but they don’t have to mean giving up on your goals. I’m building healthy habits that I’ll be taking with me! 🌞

Who’s making themselves a priority today? Let me know what positive choice you’ve made! ❤️

Happy Friday everyone! 💛

I’ll be honest… this morning I spent nearly 2 hours talking myself in and out of going to the gym.

“Shall I go? Shall I not?”

We’ve all had those days where motivation is nowhere to be found. But I reminded myself that the results we want don’t come from just thinking about them—they come from the choices we make, even when we don’t really feel like it.

So I went… and I’m so glad I did! 🤩 A lovely air-conditioned gym, only a handful of people there, and I left feeling so much better than when I walked in.

It’s exactly the same with our Slimming World journey. Some days we won’t feel like planning our meals, weighing our Healthy Extras, saying no to temptation or getting out for a walk. But every meal on plan, every positive choice and every bit of movement is a step closer to the goals we’re working towards.

Remember… thinking about the results won’t bring them. Taking action will. ❤️

So whatever today looks like for you, make one positive choice. Follow the plan for your next meal, get out for a walk, or fit in some exercise. Your future self will thank you.

You have got this.

Wishing you a fantastic Friday 🤩

💚 What an incredible achievement already! 💚

It doesn’t matter where your Slimming World journey began… what matters is that you’ve made the decision to keep going. ❤️

I’m so proud to now be part of your journey and to have the privilege of supporting you as you continue towards your dream of Target. Every step, every pound lost, every challenge overcome is something to be celebrated.

Your determination and commitment are inspiring, and I know you’ve got this! 🥰

Here’s to celebrating every milestone together and making that Target photo one to remember. I can’t wait to be there cheering you on every step of the way! 🌟

Congratulations on everything you’ve achieved so far – the best is still to come! 💚✨

💖 A little announcement… 💖

After 12½ wonderful years, the time has come for me to say goodbye to my Wednesday group at Stapenhill Immanuel Church.

My last group will be on Wednesday 26th August, and from Wednesday 2nd September the group will be relaunched with a lovely new Consultant, Amanda, who I’m sure will give you a very warm welcome.

It’s impossible to put into words just how grateful I am for the last 12½ years. Together we’ve celebrated incredible weight losses, target awards, personal milestones, laughter, tears, and so many friendships that I’ll treasure forever. Being your Consultant has been such a privilege, and I’m so thankful for every single member who has walked through those doors and trusted me to be part of their journey.

Thank you for your support, your kindness, your loyalty and for making Wednesday evenings so special. You have given me memories that I’ll carry with me always. ❤️

This isn’t goodbye though! I’ll still be running my groups at Church Gresley Methodist Church, so I’d absolutely love to continue supporting any of you who would like to come along.

Thank you again for an amazing 12½ years. From the bottom of my heart, I appreciate every one of you.

With love,
Joanne ❤️

This morning started with a trip to the gym, followed by a class… and wow, that was tough! 💪🥵 thanks to Liam Anytime Fitness Swadlincote

It would have been so easy to stay in bed or skip it, but every healthy choice we make is another step towards the life we want. It’s never about being perfect… it’s about showing up for yourself, one choice at a time. ❤️

Now I’m refuelling with a healthy breakfast before getting ready to see all your lovely faces in group later today. 🥰

So, who’s coming to group? Whether you’ve had an amazing week or a challenging one, come along. Whether you are brand new or rejoining. You don’t have to do this journey alone. Every member who reaches their dream weight is simply someone who kept going, even when it wasn’t easy.

I can’t wait to see you all later! 💕

What if I stop?
I’ll stay exactly where I am. The same doubts, the same frustrations, the same “I’ll start again on Monday.”

But what if I keep going?
What if the next pound is just around the corner?
What if I gain more confidence?
What if I inspire someone else?
What if I prove to myself that I can do hard things?

Progress isn’t about being perfect. It’s about choosing not to give up, even after a difficult day, a weekend off plan, or a week where the scales don’t move.

Every healthy choice, every meal planned, every walk taken, and every time you get back on track is a step closer to the person you’re becoming.

So today, don’t ask, “What if I fail?”
Ask yourself, “What if I succeed because I didn’t quit?”

💖 Keep going. Future you will thank you.

Happy Friday! 🌞

Another early morning bike ride to the gym done and dusted, followed by a ride home. 🚴💪 There’s no better way to start the day!

Now it’s time to refuel with one of my favourite breakfasts – fresh fruit, 0% Greek natural yogurt, and my new favourite Quaker Protein Granola as my Healthy Extra B choice. 🥣🍓

Starting the day with a balanced breakfast keeps me feeling satisfied and ready for whatever the day brings. Small, consistent choices really do add up! ❤️

What’s your favourite Slimming World-friendly breakfast? Let me know in the comments! 👇

Wishing you a fantastic Friday and a successful week on plan! 😊

Well… today was a little different! 🤩

I got up, cycled to the gym, smashed a workout at Anytime Fitness Swadlincote then cycled home… Who even is this girl?! 😂🚴‍♀️💪

Now I’m off to Pilates with Isabel at Isabalance to finish off an active day!

It’s amazing how much can change when you start believing in yourself and taking things one step at a time. Every small step really does add up. ❤️

✨ What a fantastic morning celebrating a truly amazing achievement! ✨

A huge congratulations to our brand new Diamond Target Member! Ruth 💎🎉

Not only did she achieve her target weight, but she’s now maintained it for a whole year – an incredible milestone that reflects her commitment, consistency, and belief in herself.

Reaching target is a wonderful achievement, but maintaining it shows that healthy habits really can become a way of life. We are all so proud of everything she has accomplished, and she’s such an inspiration to everyone in group.

Enjoy wearing that Diamond Target status with pride – you’ve absolutely earned it! 💎❤️

If you’ve ever wondered if lasting weight loss is possible, this is proof that with the right support, encouragement, and determination, you really can achieve your goals.

Well done! We can’t wait to celebrate many more success stories like yours. 🥰🎉
