Dunston Slimming World with Gemma

🙌🏼 Goal setting 🙌🏼

Setting goals can help provide direction, motivation and commitment.

My member Mel has so far lost 1 stone 10 lbs with Slimming World at Dunston Activity Centre, and loves setting goals!

Her most recent one was to achieve her Club 10 award (losing 10% of her body weight) by half term and she smashed it! 🤩

The Club 10 award signifies a major milestone that comes with significant health benefits, such as lower blood pressure, reduced risk of chronic diseases like heart disease and type 2 diabetes, and improved mood and mobility 😁

Well done Mel - keep on setting those goals right up until you're dream weight 🥰

🥣 Baked Oats 🥣

Such a simple and delicious recipe 😋

💕1 egg
💕40g oats
💕2 tbsp of fat free natural yoghurt
💕 Vanilla essence or another flavouring
💕 An optional tsp of sweetener

I put mine in the air fryer for 20 minutes on 180°, but you can use an oven

Mine is topped with Greek fat free yogurt, apple, and cinnamon 👌🏼

Thank you so much to Tony for letting me share his incredible before and after photos 🤩

Tony joined our Slimming World group at Dunston Activity Centre in April 2024, and he has so far lost 17 stone! He inspires members every single week with his determination and motivation, and his incredible ability to pick himself up after a slip up. We recently heard about the difference this has made to his life in our Slimming World Icons competition where Tony was one of our winners 🏆

He says he couldn't have done it without the support from group 🥰

Proof that anyone can achieve anything that they put their mind to if it's important to them ❤️

It's been a privilege to support Tony, and see the changes he's made. And he's not stopping until he's at target 🎯 💯

So proud of my member Lisa Davidson who was selected to attend the Slimming World semi-finals for the Woman of the Year competition! She has so far lost 6 stone 5lbs following our generous food Optimising plan, and has incorporated activity along the way. Read her story here, and see what Rugby legend James Haskell had to say about her achievement: 👇🏼👇🏼

Two women say they now feel great on the inside and out after losing 12st 7.5lbs between them to reach the semi-finals of a competition to find the Slimming World’s most inspiring female members.

👩🏼‍🍳 Batch cooking 👩🏼‍🍳

I'm so impressed with some of my members batch cooking and prepping efforts recently! There's nothing like feeling ready to have a great week with fridge and freezer packed full of healthy food 😋

Just a small selection of some of the incredible food my members brought in to share for our taster last week. Thank you for all the effort, it was amazing 🥰

Everyone knows I love a taster - I always leave with loads of ideas! 💡

🍕 SLIMMING WORLD PIZZA🍕

I love making an on plan pizza, and the winner of this week's raffle prize at Dunston Activity Centre gets the ingredients to make their own. I did try and get my hands on the Slimming World wraps, but there were none in stock. They are better because they make bigger pizzas 🤩

Some Slimming World chips and a side salad, and you've got a delicious fakeaway 😋
