Slimming World Young Slimmer of the Year 2010

12st lighter - meet Slimming World's Man of the Year 2010

Says it all. Sometimes it is a chance encounter that can change your life forever! Who's life will you change?

Have had a brilliant week this week! Getting loads of Body Magic in having taught my daughter to ride her bike (finally!!). The summer holidays normally fill me with slimming dread - no structure, routine out of the window and all the plans - poof I have decided to relax and go with the flow a little more, but with a little planning too.

I spent an hour the other night, thinking about what was coming up this week, how to fit in working from home, and entertaining the children and fit in the cooking (hate it - sad but true). That hour has saved me stress and moans. I work in the mornings - at the same time as the children (supposedly) do their chores - then a lunch and prepare a dinner (slow cookers are fab for this) then out for some fun!

I would be interested to find out from you, how you cope with the school summer holidays - or any other danger periods.

If you are wondering about the picture, it is handy hint I picked up - sometimes it just has to be chocolate - so to control the syns - I melt down a Freddo Frog (5.5 syns) and dip in some fruit - strawberries are lovely - cherries and grapes work well too! - can even lick the bowl out as it is included in the syn value!!

Hello all, I have posted some Youtube links below from members of Slimming World who have had great success with Slimming World and they are keen to forward their stories to you, to help inspire and motivate you along your journey.

Within our own group we have our own Slimming World Stars - each and every one of you. Why not post on here your story, how well you have done so far (even if you are just a few weeks in!) Share and inspire your fellow members with your journey, what you have found is really brilliant and could help someone else progress along their journey too.

It would be really great to hear from you.

Yours always

Sonia

20 stones lighter - meet Mr & Mrs Slimming World

Meet Slimming World's Man of the Year 2009

This weekend I attended Slimming World's Oscars. This is where Slimming World Staff win awards for their amazing service. It is an amazing event and I literally had a ball!! I love hearing how well other consultants are doing and seeing how well the company is growing, it is very inspiring!!!

The night was brilliant - we were entertained by the amazing band, Fully Functional - along with some very fit young men doing street dance - and me and the other girls did some really great Body Magic on the dance floor though I suspect not enough to burn of what we consumed! Still there's always tomorrow!
I have just posted a couple of pictures to show you. There are more on my Facebook page.


This guy was amazing - looked and sounded like the real thing!

Mr T!!!!

My before pics

Most of my before pics are not digital (thankfully!!) however, I think it is important to look back and see how far I have come - even if it is just to ensure I don't go back there! This was taken in 2004 - when I weighed about 17 stones and was a size 22. In my cover all black and I think looking 10 years older than I was.

Having been this size, I can understand how it feels to be overweight. I know also how good it feels to regain my figure. As well as being a consultant, I am also still a member at another group, this helps keep me on track, and receive the support of fab Slimming World members!

Having done diets, I have finally found a plan which allows me to eat loads, go out with friends and cook the same meals for the whole family and lose weight successfully.

Doing a blog is new to me, and I am excited about hearing your stories and experiences.
I want anyone who is overweight to know there is good, honest and sensible advice available to you to help you be the person you want to be at Slimming World - if you want to find out more log onto http://www.slimmingworld.com - you can locate your nearest group by just entering your postcode. Hope you enjoy x

Slimming World Ball November 2009

Slimming World hold an awards ceremony each November to celebrate the success of our members over the year.

We met Roberto Enrieu, Man of the Year, who lost 25 Stones! He has since ran the London Marathon!

Taster Night!

This Thursday, we had a fabulous taster night. Members brought samples of their favourite Slimming World recipes for everyone to try.

There was quiche, potato salad, lasagne and an amazing curry dish. I even made a frozen strawberry mousse from a recipe in the latest Slimming World Magazine - and it worked!

Taster nights are great for inspiring members to try recipes they would not necessarily try. I love the range of foods and the fact that you can slim and still eat curries and lasagne and puddings! Who wouldn't want to give it a go?
