🌟🌟Day 5 of our groups inspirational stories/ Meet Susun for our 9.30am group 🌟🌟
From feeling overwhelmed and unhappy to celebrating a 30lb loss, loving life at 65
When Susan walked into her first Slimming World meeting in June 2025, she was shy, quiet, and deeply unhappy with how she looked. Every glance in the mirror left her devastated, as she felt her weight had spiralled out of control. At 65 and retired, she had imagined herself running around after her nearly‑two‑year‑old granddaughter, full of energy and joy. Instead, she felt held back, overwhelmed, and stuck in habits that no longer served her.
Dieting was something Susan never thought she would do. But at her heaviest, she knew she had to make a change. Meeting her consultant Chezelle, she set herself a goal: to lose two stone. She began food optimising, taking responsibility for her choices, and quickly discovered she loved the plan. Her favourite meal became salmon cooked in the air fryer, served with a big, colourful salad—a dish that symbolised her new approach to food and life.
Six months later, Susan has achieved something remarkable. She has lost 30 pounds and kept it off, a milestone that fills her with pride. The weight loss has not only improved her health but also restored her confidence. She now feels more able to enjoy the moments she once feared she was missing, especially with her granddaughter.
Reflecting on her journey, Susan says: “It feels like such an achievement, and I’m genuinely proud of myself. If I can do it, so can you.” Her determination doesn’t stop here—her next goal is to lose another stone, and she is committed to reaching it.
Susan’s story is one of courage, resilience, and hope. From feeling overwhelmed and unhappy to celebrating a 30lb loss, she proves that it is never too late to take control, embrace change, and rediscover joy.
