Meet Helen one of Wishaw Bowling Club's 2025 Target Members and inspirational addition to our Slimming world community.
The first picture was taken at my daughter’s engagement party in November 2024 and the only picture of the evening that I am not hiding behind someone or only in a head shot. I, from here envisaged her beautiful wedding day and the mother of the bride trying hard to hide away in an expensive outfit bought to hide the lumps and rolls I hate so much - my motivation to change!
Joined slimming world in February 2026 (for probably the 10th time) and fully embraced the plan with the support of my slimming partner (my sister) and the group in Wishaw. My losses were consistent and I went 26 weeks without missing a weigh in and more often than not stayed to class getting encouragement and support from Eileen and the other members. I reached my first target around September 25 and went on a 2 week all inclusive holiday feeling fabulous and having a new holiday wardrobe to show off. Shopping for clothes with a body your happy with is much more pleasurable and is also cheaper !! It’s now Christmas 2025 and having brought my target down slightly have achieved this and still maintaining within my target threshold. My husband and I joined the gym and go twice a week and are now actually enjoying it. One of my biggest non-scale victories was running on a treadmill for 30 minutes! Never ran in my life n never thought I would start at 54 !! Now working towards participating in race - perhaps a 10k that’s the 2026 challenge.
Looking forward to maintaining my loss with the new refreshed plan and perhaps I might drop a wee half stone off my current target and add that to my to do list for 2026. Thanks Eileen for your support and thanks too to the lovely members at your Wishaw class for encouragement and support I couldn’t have done this otherwise 🥰
