It was our team meeting tonight to plan promotion and Freddie looked VERY smart in her new vest so thank you Wuffable 🥰

Not to say that Slimming World Bensham & Lowfell with Amie, Dunston Slimming World with Gemma & Saturday Slimming World at Dunston (Ash) were not also looking smart 😁

🧍can be scary
🧍🏾‍♂️🧍is a little less scary
🧍🏾‍♂️🧍🧑🏻‍🦼‍🧍🏻🧍🏼 is way less scary AND saves £5.95 EACH!

Sometimes it really is a case of "The more, the merrier"
or in the case of this limited offer "The more, the cheaper"

Find yourself 4 friends, or muster 4 strangers from the street, its OK, we don't put you through a 'Friendship Test' just so you can take advantage of this 5 for £5, limited time offer! 👯‍♂️

When 5 of you join together, that first week is FREE! Simply pay £5 joining fee and save yourself £5.95 EACH! Just think, £29.75 suddenly is free and available for you to spend finding out more about your new found friendship group 😁 (OR you could each get some Hi-Fi bars or a Recipe book or Magazine or a 12 week journal and get that 'Fabulous First Week' even MORE FABULOUS! .... SO many options and all because you found 4 other like-minded people ♥️)

Somethings are just easier done TOGETHER than ALONE

Keeping yourselves accountable and on plan is one of those things 😁
(A little healthy competition to see who can be first to the next bit of 'bling' never hurt anyone ... unless you are siblings, then 'competition' may involve bandaids and some plausible deniability 🙈)

Thinking of Joining a group and starting your weightloss journey?
WELL, BRING A FRIEND!
In fact, bring 4 of them and save yourselves £5.95 EACH!

EXCITING TIMES AHEAD!
group is changing and its all FOR THE BETTER! ❤

I love Slimming World, it saved my life & gave me a new, better one BUT I also had 6 attempts before I fully embraced it, committed to making changes that were needed.

IMAGE therapy is key to long-term success, its a powerful tool to ensuring long-term success and yet we know so many members just 'weigh and go', not wanting to engage in group for a multitude of reasons. If people are not staying for IMAGE therapy, don't feel its a 'learning and supportive environment' or just don't like being the format going round everyone, announcing the weight change etc then IMAGE therapy is not what Margaret envisaged and right to the very end of her life, Margaret was determined to help as many as possible achieve their weightloss dream, IMAGE therapy not working as she envisaged? It needed to change.

So, after undertaking extensive research, engaging focus groups, doing some honest self reflection & reviewing receiving feedback Margaret worked with her team, one final act to ensure all who needed support would get it in group and beyond.

🟣 No more "Round robin", rapid fire weight-change announcements
🟣 No more "Talks from the Consultant"
🟣 No more will Target Members feel ignored in the horseshoe
🟣 No more feeling the pressure of being the focus

Instead, more learning, support or ideas for those challenging times and more importantly greater success at the scales through empowering members to make the changes for life, not just the week ahead.

Returning the IMAGE therapy to what Margaret first envisaged
I ➡️ Individual
M ➡️ Motivational
A ➡️ and
G ➡️ Group
E. ➡️ Experience

Come along on Monday and share in the new, invovative and inspiring IMAGE therapy, you lose nothing give it a chance x

It can be daunting to enter a venue and sit at the 'New Members Area', nervously looking round to see if you are going to be the only new starter? Are people staring? Do you fight the urge to rush back home and give yourself a "talking to"?

Easy way to ease those concerns? and the Mirada of nagging self-doubt that can burst into our heads at these times, BRING A FRIEND! In fact, bring 4 of them and save yourselves £5.95 EACH!

When 5 of you join together you simply pay the £5 joining fee, that first week is FREE! Now, who doesn't love a bargain 🥰

"Hi,

I'm Emma-Jane the Consultant for Sunderland Road, Felling Slimming World Group.

One comment I get quite often tends to be along the lines of "You have no idea what its like to be big/heavy/have SO much to loose etc." Its understandable, I'm only 5' tall, a size 4/6 and do look dainty BUT looks can be deceiving! (and a well chosen outfit can be just as effective in creating a svelt silhouette as a tummy tuck, but a whole lot cheaper)

When I joined Slimming World, back in 2014 (for about the 97th time, like many of you out there) I weighed in at over 17st, thats a lot of woman to manoeuvre on a small 5' tall frame! Just 2.5 years later I was 7st 3lb, maintained ever since)

I KNOW exactly how it feels to be a 'big girl'
I KNOW exactly how it feels to be the 'jolly one'
I KNOW exactly how it feels to be the one never asked to dance or on a date
I KNOW exactly how it feels to hide from mirrors, avoid clothes shopping, find any excuse to not socialise but all 'Body Confident' (Because isn't that what empowered women are meant to be? Even when its the exact opposite of how they actually feel?

I have zero photos of me at my heaviest (for a large woman in a wheelchair you would be AMAZED how nippy I could be when it came to avoiding a camera!) but I share with you today a few of the lighter 'Before' Pictures and a few from towards the end of my journey.

Please don't look at me and think "She has no idea what I feel", instead, look at me and think "There is someone who has walked the walk and proven it can be done so I can do it too"

Every Consultant was a member, most of us STILL are because thats how we STAY at target 😊.
Is it easy? No, its not
Have we had to change the fundamental way we look at food? Yes, its the only way to succeed long term and break the cycle
Has it been worth it? ABSOLUTELY!

Your Consultant is the 'proof of the pudding' and we are proud of our journey, never be afraid to ask a Consultant to see their journey board or 'before' pictures, its OK, we want to inspire you, support you and show you that you CAN and WILL get to your goal because you are not doing it alone x"
