Six Stone Lighter Slimming World has Given me the Confidence to Live Life to the Fullest!
Siobhan struggled all her adult life
trying to
control her weight. When she was 18 years old she weighed 17 stone and wore a size 22 in clothes and was feeling miserable.
By the
time she decided to join Slimming World she had gained another three stone and was fitting into a size 26. “I knew I needed to get my weight and health back under control and quickly” Siobhan said. “I had heard great things about Slim- ming World and decided to give it a go” Siobhan Joined Jessica’s 9:30am group in Cobh Ramblers on a Tuesday
morning and felt so wel- coming and supported by both Jessica and the mem- bers that she knew walking out the door on the first day that this was the best decision she had made and was looking forward to the week ahead. Soon the pounds start- ed falling off Siobhan and she was really the
encouragement and support she gets
enjoying every
week in-group. “Staying to group every week is really important to me, It’s great to keep me motivated but more than that the sup- port and advice I get every week means the world to
me. As a group we cele- brate each other’s victories and help support each oth- er when we are struggling. We learn from each other and share recipes and tips” Siobhan loves the way
the plan fits into her life- style; “the Food Optimis- ing plan is great I love filling up on lots of free foods, Spaghetti Bolognese is a family favourite in our house, I always make sure I include my third of a plate of speed
foods to help
boost my weight loss. Then there is the Syns, which I love the way they are de- signed to take
right out of eating and the guilt
help stop me from feeling deprived!” Siobhan loves all the additional supports there are outside of group too such as the app and website to help her decide on menu and meal plan- ning and checking her syns throughout the week. “It’s important to check your Syns and I use mine wise- ly, I have treats when ever I want and never feel like I’m missing out” Siobhan diagnosed four
years ago with Type 2 Di- abetes was terrified she would be on medication for the rest of her life, this is what motivated her to walk through the doors of
Jessica’s Slimming World group along with her friend in May 2017, now 47 weeks later she is med- ication free and six stone lighter. ‘My ill health may have gotten me through the door on the first day but Jessica and the group is why I attend every week, I now am living life to the full and for the first time in my adult life I feel confi- dent in how I look” Jessica runs her Slim-
ming World Group in Cobh every Tuesday at 9:30, 11:30, 5:30 & 7:30 to find out more give her a call on 0863988269
