My Story & Core Mission
My Slimming World journey started in February 2016 when I joined as a member. I was an emotional eater, like many, and was gaining weight what felt like week after week. My health was starting to suffer and my self-esteem and confidence was at an all time low.
I joined a group in Rugeley and I really didn't know what to expect from a slimming group. I walked in nervously and was greeted with smiles from members and then the consultant came over to me and put me at ease.
I went on to lose 5 stones in weight, my confidence grew and I felt the best I ever had!
Now it wasn't all plain sailing, there were weeks where I didn't get the loss I wanted, I didn't "stick to plan" and there were weeks where I was so frustrated with myself that I could've easily given up. But there were plenty of weeks that I had a 2 or 3lb loss and I was happy with that.
In February 2018 I became a Slimming World Consultant myself and took over an existing group in Burntwood. I remember my first night, I don't think I could have been any more nervous! All the members were lovely, and I had 16 new members join that night too.
I then took over a group in Rugeley and also in Lichfield. I had just been made redundant from my full time job and as I loved my Slimming World role decided to continue doing something I love.
In 2021 I took the next step and became a Team Developer to look after a team of wonderful consultants in Cannock, and then a year later added a second team of amazing consultants in the North Wolverhampton area.
My mission is to help as many people in the Community with weight loss, supporting them through the tougher times and celebrating all the wins. I truly believe that everyone can reach their own personal goals.
