When dinner’s this good, you’ll want to share it with those you love 💕! Our Food Optimised lasagne looks indulgent (and truly is!) it’s easy, healthy, no-fuss, uses everyday ingredients (including lots of veg 🍅🫑🧅) and is ideal for all the family. It’s just one of hundreds of family-friendly recipes available to Slimming World members, and if you join my Hopwood group, you might not be the only one who benefits. In our research, 77% of members said within three months of them joining group, even their kids were eating more healthily than before!

True or False – it costs you more to eat healthily? False 🎉!

Research from Slimming World’s Health & Wellbeing Study found that members cook from scratch more and eat less takeaways than the general population!

This leaves members more in control of their food choices and their budget ⚖️💰! Tempted to find out more? Slimming World’s blog post: ‘5 budget-friendly meal ideas’ will give you a taste of ideas we share in group, leaving you feeling full and satisfied, without feeling any guilt or breaking the bank account!

Meet Sophie. Before joining Slimming World, she was struggling with emotional eating when she felt stressed or tired. In her group, Sophie found the support she needed to tackle her triggers and put a personal plan in place to make healthier choices. Now she’s 9st lighter, is in control and full of confidence ✨!

We understand that losing weight is about so much more than just food – it's about getting to the core of our challenges around eating, recognising them, and finding ways to overcome them, together 💕.

Our Food Optimising eating plan is an easy to follow, effective and enjoyable way to lose weight. And compared to restrictive calorie counting, our members find that Food Optimising helps them feel more in control of their food choices, which makes it much easier to achieve the weight loss results they want.

Message me or comment below to find out how Slimming World can support you on your slimming journey. My Hopwood group is waiting to welcome you!

Did you know… Food Optimising is more effective than calorie counting! Research by the University of Leeds shows that after 14 weeks of Food Optimising, Slimming World members lost nearly 13lbs, compared to calorie counters who lost just over 7lbs (over the same period of time!)

Changing the way you shop, cook, and eat really could change your life – just like it did for Mary Downs, 57, from West Lothian, who’s lost more than 11st by embracing Food Optimising, Slimming World’s unique eating plan. “I went from relying on ready meals to cooking delicious family dinners each night, from jambalaya to diet cola chicken,’ she says. ‘And as I dropped dress sizes my health improved, too. My blood pressure and cholesterol levels fell back into the healthy range, and I was even able to come off my diabetes medication!”

In fact, a review by the British Nutrition Foundation found, on average, Slimming World members ate more healthily than the general population, and making meals from scratch using Slimming World recipes likely led to them eating more veg, another great health booster. Discover Food Optimising for yourself at my Hopwood group and put a spring in your step, just like Mary!

👨‍👨‍👧‍👧 At Slimming World our eating plan, Food Optimising, and activity programme, Body Magic, are founded on everyday food and activity that fit beautifully with everyday family life. They can be easily personalised for you, your family and your family’s lifestyle – they help you to lay healthy foundations that will last a lifetime.

🍇 The principles of Food Optimising – filling up on nutritious, filling, naturally lower energy dense foods and cutting down on the less healthy, less filling, higher energy dense foods you eat – make it a healthy eating plan that’s perfect for the whole family.

🚲 Meanwhile, our activity programme, Body Magic, is brilliant to inspire the whole family to get active. By introducing the benefits and fun of activity to children, you’re embedding healthy habits for them to build on as they grow up, giving them the very best chance of maintaining a fit and active lifestyle for life. How about a round of crazy golf, hiring bikes for the day or taking the kids to the local play park? You’ll be making memories along the way too 💛 Message me to find out about my Hopwood group and how we learn about cooking delicious, healthy meals that the whole family can enjoy.

📣📣📣 NOT BEEN TO GROUP FOR A FEW WEEKS? LISTEN UP! 📣📣📣
It's that time again...

Remember December 31st? Remember January? Remember the start of 2022? Remember the fire in your belly that said 'this year is going to be MY year'? 🔥 Remember joining our Slimming World group? Remember setting your Target weight and promising yourself this time was going to be THE time?

⏩️⏩️⏩️ Fast forward twelve weeks...
Has the fire in your belly gone? Have you lost sight of your goals? Have you stopped going to group? Have I been chasing you up? I don't apologise because...
TRUST ME, I get it! We ALL feel like it at times. But I promised you I wouldn't give up on you. If weightloss was easy, we would've all done it by now.

BUT...
We NEED support, we NEED encouragement, we NEED people that 'just get it'... 💗
And that's what I PROMISE you'll get in our groups each week...
So maybe 2022 hasn't quite started the way you intended, maybe you're terrified to face another year not where you want to be, whatever it is... here's my invite for YOU to come back to group this week. No questions asked. A fresh start if you need it... ❤
Let's still MAKE 2022 YOUR year! 🙌

I too have been on a personal journey to change my relationship with food, to psychologicaly understand the relationship, to break bad habits and replace them with good habits, releasing the pressure and guilt and forgiving myself. The results are amazing and after 5 months i'm 1stone 7lb lighter and now a target member. Dreams really can come true. 💞
