✨ From one small hall to millions of lives changed… ✨

Slimming World began in 1969, when Margaret Miles-Bramwell OBE opened the very first group in a church hall in Alfreton, Derbyshire BBC +1. Margaret knew from her own experience that losing weight wasn’t just about food it was about support, kindness, and belief. She wanted to create a place where no one felt judged, only encouraged.

From that single hall, Slimming World grew into a nationwide family of over 3,500 Consultants and 700,000 members!

Margaret always believed that weight loss should be freeing, not restrictive. She wanted us to keep pioneering, to keep finding new ways to support people, and to never lose sight of the belief that everyone deserves to feel healthy, confident, and celebrated.

Today, every leaflet delivered, every poster hung, and every group meeting held is part of Margaret’s legacy. She asked us to carry her vision forward: to keep building communities of support, to keep innovating, and to keep believing in the power of weight loss to transform lives.

💬 “She touched the hearts and changed the lives of millions of people.” – Slimming World statement Sky News

So when we welcome someone new, celebrate a milestone, or help a member through a tough week, we’re not just doing it for ourselves we’re continuing Margaret’s mission.

Let’s keep pioneering together. 💖

🌟 Midweek Motivation 🌟
Sarah has lost an incredible 4 stone with Slimming World!
She said “After being asked to be maid of honour, I decided I needed to loose weight, I joined slimming world in Jan 2024 and set my goal at 3 stone by August, I did it, and decided not to stop there! I am now 4 stone lighter i couldn't be happier & feel so much healthier. I was also awarded GREATEST LOSER 2025.

Joining slimming world has changed my life & my eating habits, going to my weekly group keeps me on track, hearing what/how others in the group do in their week, meals they cook and sharing tips with the group is helpful too.”

Looking to up the filling power of your meals? Wholewheat versions of pasta, noodles, bread and rice have more fibre than white versions AND up to 70% more nutrients. If you’re new to wholewheat, try mixing 50:50 white and wholewheat pasta (just allow a bit of extra cooking time).

If you’re used to always putting your family 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 first, it can be hard to move yourself up your to-do list 📝.
It’s not selfish to prioritise the time you need to cook healthy meals ahead 🥘, though, or to fit activity ⛹️‍♀️ into your busy week. In fact, it’s likely to have a positive knock-on effect on those you love 💕!
Join my Ashington group for lots of support to boost your energy ⚡ and self-esteem 💖… so you can make the most of family life!

✨ Member Spotlight – Side by Side Success! ✨

After welcoming twins and going through risk-reducing surgery, this Linzi found herself struggling with weight gain. But in February 2025, she joined our lovely Friday group and what a journey it’s been! 💪

🌟 Since then, she’s lost an incredible 1st 8.5lbs!
🌟 She loves Slimming World because it fits perfectly into her busy household. With two young boys, the family-friendly meals and recipes mean everyone can enjoy delicious food while she stays on plan.
🌟 The boost from group each week keeps her motivated whether it’s been a good week or a tougher one, the support makes all the difference.

She says:

“I know I wouldn’t have achieved what I have without staying in group and their assistance. My goal is to lose a further 5.5lbs before Christmas to get my 2 stone award. I believe I can, following the plan and with the amazing support in group!”

🎄 With Christmas just around the corner, we’re cheering her on to smash that next milestone. What an inspiration to us all! 💖
