It’s easy to focus on the saving – and yes, free membership in these national papers means you save £5 and only pay £5.95

But this really isn’t about the money.
It’s about choosing you.
It’s about having more energy, sleeping better, moving more easily and feeling comfortable in your own skin again.

It’s about learning how to eat well without hunger, guilt or cutting out the foods you love.
It’s about building habits that actually last — not quick fixes that leave you back where you started.

When you join, you’re not just getting a plan.
You’re getting:
* Support every step of the way
* A flexible, realistic way of eating
* Motivation to move more (in ways that fit real life)
* A group of people who get it and genuinely want you to succeed

The saving is a bonus.
The real value is in feeling healthier, stronger and more confident now and for the long term.

If you’ve been thinking “I’ll start soon”… this is your sign.
Pop along, bring the voucher, and let’s get you feeling great.

Still have a fridge full of festive leftovers 😋?

Why not make the most of your leftovers by creating a turkey-topped jacket potato… you could even add veggies, gravy and pigs in blankets

What's not to love especially If it's stacked on a spud and covered in gravy, w👀 – let me know what you’re doing with your leftovers 👏!

I don’t want to spark any arguments, but when it comes to Slimming World, it’s easy to be critical. However, you can’t deny that a nutritionally balanced plan is genuinely good for you.

If you’ve ever felt let down by Slimming World, I believe it’s not the company at fault, but rather individual experiences. Margaret Miles-Bramwell, the founder, had values that were second to none, and that ethos still underpins the company. We don’t always get it perfect—after all, we’re all human and we all make mistakes. I’ve let people down at times, not out of ill intent, but simply because I’m human too.

Food Optimising is about nourishing your body and achieving a balanced diet, which supports both health and weight loss. Beyond that, the support and community structure are invaluable, even though we might not always get it right.

So, if you’ve ever felt let down, it’s likely due to a person, not the program itself. And sometimes, the person we let down the most is ourselves. It’s all about perseverance and self-compassion.

Together we can make things happen

When is enough, enough!
Is it when your about to go pop, as your trousers are so tight you can't breath in them!
Is it when you cant sleep, as your worried your not going to wake up the next day!
When you can't bend your knees to sit down and you fall, as they cant support you!

That was me nearly two years ago. Unhappy with the way I looked and felt I was consently tried.

Now roll on those 2 years. 7 and a half stone lighter, (I lost 3.5lbs Christmas week to achieve that award and still had a cracking Christmas).

I'm happier, a hell of a lot fitter, enjoying life and doing things I could only ever dream about doing. And I go to bed and no longer worry I am not going to wake up.

I now make that time for me, I have 4 to 5 hours a week soley dedicated to myself. I go to the gym and I stay to my group. Not only do you get support from fellow slimmers, they become an important part of journey. You share your stories with them through the good and bad.

It's your journey, theres no right or wrong way to do it. There's just results. And oh my, I never dreamt I would be here. There may of been a little cheer on Saturday when I hit the 7 and a half stone mark.

What my consultant says
"If you asked me yo describe Michelle Turner I'd say she is bloody brilliant, firstly shes an amazing mum who wants to give her boys the best life experiences and to live it with them she's energetic, determined, honest and reliable.
As a member her determination shines through,, she encourages others in her own down to earth supportive way.
As I said she's bloody brilliant.

Don't put your life on hold, dont miss out on your family adventures, come along to our Saturday morning group and make a start on living your best life.

Michelle is at our 7am group but if that's a tad too early we have one at 8.30 too.

With all the supermarkets offering cheap veg I thought it would be good to start a thread of ideas on how to store it and how to use it.

Ready steady...go

We started the day dry 😆

Being out and about in the local community is always great fun. We get to meet some real characters along the way. Today, however, was very wet, so our appearance definitely sparked a few comments!

On a more serious note, as self-employed sole traders we’ve been part of this local community for over 30 years. The support we receive from fellow traders—especially when it comes to promoting one another—is genuinely heartwarming.

Keep an eye out over the next few days as we shine a spotlight on some of the stars of who’ve been supporting us.
