What a Year!! As 2025 comes to a close, I just want to take a moment to look back at what we’ve achieved together across Benson, Berinsfield and Wallingford and honestly, it’s nothing short of phenomenal.

Total weight lost in 2025: 8,349lbs, that’s a jaw-dropping 596 stone! Let that sink in… nearly 600 stone of weight gone forever in 12 months.

Every single pound lost represents determination, resilience, laughter, tears, triumphs and those “I did it!” moments that make our Slimming World family so special.

This year, we have together:

• Smashed targets
• Hit new milestones
• Gained confidence
• Overcome setbacks
• Supported each other every week
• Welcomed new members and cheered returning ones
• Shared recipes, tips, struggles and victories
• Built something truly powerful

Whether you lost 1lb, 10lb, 5 stone or simply kept showing up when life felt heavy… you’ve contributed to this incredible total.

2025 wasn’t just about weight loss.

It was about belonging.
It was about community.
It was about rediscovering YOU.

And as your Consultant, I couldn’t be more proud, grateful or inspired. Thank you for trusting me, confiding in me, laughing with me, crying with me (and there has been lots of tears along the way) and allowing me to walk this journey alongside you.

2026 is going to be even bigger.

A brand-new food optimisation plan.
Fresh books.
More support than ever.
And your goals, front and centre.

Here’s to another year of change, courage and celebrating every win, big or small.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making 2025 unforgettable ❤️

Over the next few weeks, Ill be launching the brand-new Slimming World plan, sharing all the exciting changes and setting you up for a confident, supported start to January.

This morning was one of those moments that reminds me exactly why I’m so proud of our Slimming World family. ❤️

A huge thank you to every single member who donated items to the Wallingford Food Bank. Your kindness, generosity and thoughtfulness will genuinely make a difference to local families who need a little extra support right now.

What you brought wasn’t just food, it was care, compassion and community spirit. Seeing the donations come together was incredibly moving, and I know they’ll be truly appreciated.

Thank you for showing, once again, that our group is about so much more than weight loss. It’s about people supporting people ❤️

Raffle Prize Appeal – Can You Help?

As many of you know, a Slimming World group is all about community, connection and supporting one another.

I'm looking to put together some lovely raffle prizes over the coming weeks, and I’d love to support local businesses at the same time. If you (or someone you know) run a business and would be happy to donate a raffle prize, whether that’s a voucher, product or experience, I'd be incredibly grateful

In return, I’ll happily give your business a shout-out in group and on our socials, and you’ll be supporting something that genuinely makes a difference to local people.

If you’d like to get involved, please pop me a message or comment below or tag a local business who may be interested.

Thank you, as always, for the support

I’ve been reading a book that is very close to my life, "My Name Is Why" by Lemn Sissay, and one thing hit me hard, the power of reclaiming your identity and choosing not to wait for someone else or some perfect moment to give you permission to change your life.

Lemn’s story is about courage, ownership and saying, “This is who I am, and this is who I’m becoming.”
And honestly, that’s what so many Slimming World journeys are about too, including my own.

We often tell ourselves “I’ll start in January”, as if a date on a calendar magically makes change easier, but, Lemn’s message reminds us of the importance of ensuring you matter.

You don’t have to be perfect.
You don’t need the “right” time.
You don’t need everything figured out.

You just need now.
A small step.
A little belief.

And a supportive group around you, cheering you on, walking beside you, and helping you reclaim the version of yourself you deserve to feel proud of.

Your change, your peace and/or your confidence can begin today.

You’re not starting alone. ❤️
