From Reversing Diabetes to Inspiring a Community — Jane’s Slimming World Journey
For decades, Jane battled her weight, losing and regaining in a cycle she thought would never end. Six years ago, everything changed. With her type 2 diabetes soaring to an HbA1c of 98 despite maximum medication, she faced the threat of starting insulin—and the fear of not being around to watch her granddaughter grow up. Determined to change her future, Jane committed to a healthier lifestyle. Within months, her weight dropped, her medication reduced, and her hope returned.
Through setbacks like knee surgery, lockdown, and later a family Covid outbreak, Jane kept going. Consistency, walking, and a newfound routine helped her not only lose weight, but completely reverse her diabetes, bringing her HbA1c down to 35 with no medication at all. It was a transformation she once thought impossible.
A defining moment came the day she nervously walked into her first Slimming World group—late, flustered, and unsure. Consultant Alison’s warmth and the buzz in the room instantly put her at ease. The group became her anchor: a place where she felt supported, encouraged, celebrated, and understood.
Slimming World’s Food Optimising plan quickly clicked for Jane. It’s a flexible, accessible approach that can be tailored to all dietary needs and all budgets, making it sustainable for anyone. With no calorie counting, plenty of satisfying foods, and options the whole family can enjoy, Food Optimising became a lifestyle she could genuinely live with. And the group experience—the laughter, the shared ideas, the accountability, the celebration of every win—became just as important as the plan itself.
Today, Jane is not just a member—she’s a leader.
For the past three years, she has proudly been a Slimming World Consultant in Poynton and Hazel Grove, helping others achieve life-changing results. Her empathy, lived experience, and understanding of the real challenges people face make her a consultant who truly connects.
Her purpose now is clear:
to empower others to believe in themselves, embrace healthier habits, and discover the confidence, health, and freedom she found.
Jane’s story proves that no matter your age, stage, or starting point, change is possible—and with the right support, it can be life-changing 💕
