Jo's Slimming World - Rubery - St Chads Church,

I joined Slimming World in December 2012 and weighing in at nearly 15 stones, I’d had enough. I was embarrassed, miserable and ashamed.

On my first night at Slimming World I was welcomed with open arms, made to feel wanted and like I could achieve my dreams. All the choices were for me to make; my weight was kept completely confidential and I was given the most amazing present... a guide to Food Optimising – Slimming World’s famous and generous healthy eating plan.

I was told to fill up on as much Free foods as I liked, such as meat, pasta and potatoes, and I was told I could still have chocolate and wine. What could be better?

I stayed for my groups IMAGE Therapy every Thursday, because without it I’d miss the fun, laughter and unrivalled support that goes on. We share each other’s successes and we pick each other up when we're down. Either way, it was where I wanted to be.

There are competitions running throughout the year and I got voted 'Woman of the Year' for my group – I was so proud!

The thing is, Slimming World makes losing weight easy and fun. There's no humiliation, no pressure, and never any judgement – just lots of lovely foods to keep you full and content, and a group of people believing in you.

I love Slimming World so much that I decided to become a Consultant. Let me take you on a wonderful journey to your dream weight and you’ll never look back again! x
