Id like to introduce you to Linda , she attends Michelle’s 11.30am session on a Thursday at Seaham Methodist church. Linda has just achieved 6 stone weight loss and wanted to share a bit about her journey with you... I joined slimming world september 16 after being asked to join by my niece. I was very reluctant to go back to slimming world as I had lost over 3 stone in the past and thinking I could handle the diet myself without the support so stopped going to classes, it wasn't too long before all the weight I lost was back on and I had gone back to 18 1/2 stone feeling fed up , if a photo was taken I always found my place at the back so you could only see my head, after a holiday photo I knew I had to try again but this time I promised myself I would always attend class and would become a life time member , so it all started again but after attending the first class I found all the enthusiasm I once had came flooding back and the weight loss started Big losses for first couple of weeks then smaller regular weight losses every week. I was never disappointed with the smaller losses as I was still maintaining a good social life and knew I did have the power to loose faster if I had wanted. I also used to buy something I really liked that was a size smaller than I was and the buzz I got when it finally fit was amazing. Slowly but surely I reached each goal I set and the stones started to disappear, I am feeling fabulous and so fit the weight loss has totally changed my life I feel so in control but I know I will never leave slimming world as I have seen how easy that you can persuade yourself just this treat or that treat and the habits start to change for the worse again , I love my slimming world classes and the power it gives me as I'm walking out the door knowing that this week I feel confident I can continue on my journey I have to date lost 6 stone with another 7lbs to reach my goal and I know for sure I will get there and just thank god I walked through that door to start over and for all the wonderful support I receive from my Slimming world friends and michelle. It doesn’t matter if its your first time or 100th , honestly just do it because your never look back and be so pleased you did x Linda

How Amazing does this look ! No wonder Jodi from our 9.30am Thursday group has lost 3 & half stone. Shes not dieting shes Food optimising 😍

One of the most asked questions I hear is "Will I have to get weighed in front of everyone?" Easy to answer - NO!!!

If you’re thinking diets don't work in the sense of faddy, restrictive, short-term ‘quick fixes’, then this is true – as soon as you go back to your 'usual' way of eating, you’ll gain weight again. At Slimming World, you learn a new, balanced, delicious and satisfying way of eating for you and the whole family, and create healthy-eating habits you can easily sustain for ever. Plus nothing's banned, so you won't experience those feelings of deprivation or restriction. Slimming World’s Food Optimising plan is based on the science of energy density, the amount of energy (or calories) per gram of food. Lower energy density foods, like fruit and veg, lean meat, rice and pasta, provide less energy per gram, which means we can eat more of them while consuming fewer calories. which is why you can fill your plate with Free Foods, eat generous portions, feel full and still see results on the scales every week. So if you're looking for a safe, easy, filling, delicious - and evidence-based eating plan... look no further than Food Optimising.
