“I’ve found myself again”
Meet my inspirational member Kirsty, from my Cheadle Slimming World group
"After being diagnosed with cancer, I made the decision to change my life — and I’ve now lost 7 stone with Slimming World.
Three and a half years ago, I was diagnosed with cancer, and it completely changed how I saw my life and my health. It was a wake-up call — I knew I had to do something about my weight if I wanted to give myself the best chance of staying healthy and strong.
In January, I joined Slimming World, and it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Walking into group for the first time was nerve-wracking, but the warmth, kindness, and encouragement I received made me realise I wasn’t alone.
Since that day, I’ve lost an incredible 7 stone, and I feel like a completely different person — more confident, more energetic, and truly happy in my own skin. This year, I was honoured to be chosen as my group’s Woman of the Year, which meant so much to me and reminded me how far I’ve come.
Slimming World hasn’t just helped me lose weight; it’s helped me rebuild my life, my confidence, and my belief in myself. I would definitely recommend it to friends and family — it could change their lives too."
