9 Trish Is Leading The Way With Flagship Status With Slimming World! A slimmer who trans-
formed her life by losing 4 stone is using her success to shape a whole new ca- reer helping other people change
achieve their weight
their lives and loss
dreams too. Trish O’Shaughnessy
joined her local Slimming World almost two years ago and dropped four stone
during this time!
Trish has now trained as a Consultant for Slimming World, the UK’s largest group-weight loss organ- isation, at
their national
training academy in Der- byshire. Trish who started her
career with Slimming World in January this year has taken to being a Consultant like a Duck to Water where her members are enjoying losing weight in a friendly, encouraging and successful and safe manner!
The latest government
figures reveal that around one in four adults are obese and it is estimat- ed that, by 2034, this will increase to one in three. “Obesity is becoming such a huge issue in Ireland. When I first joined Slim- ming World as a member, I never dreamed that
I
would end up helping oth- er people to lose weight but now I can’t believe I have helped so many peo- ple to be in a much hap- pier place with themselves and changing their
lives
for the better! After losing four stone and completing my training, it’s a privilege for me to be able to pass on the experience, insight and understanding that helped me, so that I can give my members the support they need to get to target. “Support is really the important thing.
most It all starts with feeling
that you’re not alone. I couldn’t
have lost four
stone without the weekly help, encouragement and understanding of my own Consultant and group. As someone who has lost weight myself I know the challenges people
can
face, which is why, along with the group, I will be there to support every one of my members all the way to their chosen target weight. Setting targets, sharing recipes and other ideas, and working togeth- er as a group to overcome challenges and celebrate success is so important to
a successful journey.
That’s why, at my Slim- ming World groups, there is tons of support, encour- agement and fun! “Like a lot of Slimmers,
I had tried to lose weight so many times before by following numerous diets but they were never sus-
tainable because I’d always get tired of restricting what I ate. I thought I was destined to struggle with my weight for the rest of my life, but when I came to Slimming World it was different. I never felt like I was on a diet. The eat- ing plan encourages you to eat lots of tasty, filling foods like pasta, rice, po- tatoes and lean meat and fish, you are never hungry and no foods are banned so there’s no deprivation. I couldn’t believe I’d found a way to lose weight with- out starving myself. “Slimming World isn’t
just about changing what you eat. Becoming more active
is important too.
Our Body Magic pro- gramme takes the threat out of activity by showing people, many of whom have
unpleasant memo-
ries of being forced to take part in activity at school,
how they can build activ- ity into their daily routine without having to take up traditional forms of exer- cise like going to the gym or running. Everything counts from walking to gardening to washing the car.
I love dancing and
Aqua Aerobics to get my Body Magic! As a Con- sultant it’s my role to cre- ate that warm, supportive atmosphere to get people sharing their ideas and experiences to help others and there is also a lot of fun involved! Like Trish, Slimming
World Consultants are all former members who have lost weight at local
their group themselves
and groups are set up as micro businesses in the heart of local communi- ties. There are currently around 4,000 Slimming World Consultants across the UK and Ireland run-
ning 15,000 groups. Con- sultants receive training in Slimming World’s healthy eating and physical activi- ty programmes and learn how to use the power of group support to empower members to take control of their own weight loss journey. As self-employed micro-entrepreneurs, Consultants also learn how to build a successful com- munity-based business. Trish says she is loving the new challenges running her own business. “For me becoming a self-employed franchisee was a great op- tion. I wanted a job that was well paid, flexible and could fit around my busy family life so launching my own Slimming World groups was an ideal op- tion – I am loving my brand new career and I am thrilled at
the amaz-
ing weight loss results my Members are having!
Trish is currently Slim- ming World Consultant at the following venues and recently received an award for Flagship from Slim- ming World which shows how successful her mem- bers and Groups are! Trish’s Slimming World
groups are held at Ma- hon Comoige Grounds on Tuesdays at 5.30 and 7.30 pm and Wednesday morn- ing at Carrigtwohill Com- munity Hall at 9.30 and 11.30 a.m. and Passage West on Wednesday eve- nings at 5.30 and 7.30 pm in PACE Centre and her Flagship Group of Gloun- thaune every Thursday at 5.30 and 7.30 pm.
