❤️ YOUR CONSULTANT ❤️
Here is me, your local consultant. It’s crazy to think that I’m now a consultant, helping others with their weightloss journeys, but how did it all happen?!
Well I’ve been a member on and off for years, and I’ve suffered with poor mental health, low self esteem, and real loneliness. I suffer with PCOS, insulin resistance, border hypothyroidism, and arthritic knees so I always felt like everything was against me.
I’d never really valued myself as a person and despite being around family, I felt like life was passing by and I was just living in motion. Then lockdown hit, I was 21 stone and my mental health spiralled badly and I felt truly lost. I tried to get back on plan, do it from home on my own and I even managed a 1.5 stone loss over a couple of months but I knew I needed more. I drove down the road and joined a local group when I heard they had reopened at the end of September 2020 and I was so terrified I didn’t even tell my husband until after I’d been. I felt so much pressure of failing I needed to take that away. My first week I lost 10lb and my second 5lb - that’s over a stone in 2 weeks AND I still got to eat lasagne, creamy chicken, and homemade kebabs! 5 weeks later lockdown 2 came and I attended weekly zooms! Having a group of people in the same boat meeting up every week gave me something to look forward too! A few months went by, I completed Couch 2 5k despite bad joints, and our zoom group eventually met in person and it was amazing! It had been 4-5 months since I’d seen anyone out and about, that when my husband and I went out, people thought he had left me for someone else! They didn’t recognise me!!
I was encouraged by a local consultant to go along to an opportunity event and I did via zoom and I fell in love with Slimming World and everything they stood for! I didn’t want people sitting at home feeling how I had once felt, so I attended an interview and when offered a position, signed on the dotted line and here I am!
I launched my first group in January 2022, and my relief group was taken on permanently by me from December 2022! But guess what? There are now over 50 people that have reached their dream weight, how fabulous is that? They are walking around, happier and healthier because of our group! I’ve even had 3 editorials!!
I myself achieved target in January 2022 with a total weightloss of 9 stone 4lb (7stone 11lb in group) and despite a few pounds creeping back on over the colder months, I’m confident I’ll be back at target in no time, I am human after all and it’s important to remember that we are all in this together!
So come along and eat yourself slim with Mikayla! ❤️ Meet our amazing group and meet our fabulous members who are living the dream! With support each and every week, you won’t ever be alone!
Because if nothing ever changed their would be no butterflies 🦋
