Ashington Slimming World - With Lisa

💥Meet our fabulous member Debbie💥

Who is one of our Woman of the year AND Slimming world Icon winners. Debs is absolutely amazing, her determination, honesty and support for others is just fantastic. She picks members up with warmth when they need it, always offering advice, a friendly shoulder and often a joke to make us all laugh. We are all super proud of you.

A few words from our double winner: Deb Robertson current weight loss total: 3st 7lb

"Hi I am Debbie and I am 46 years old,
I work as a Learning Cafe Manager aswell as running my own catering and event planning buisness.
I have always had a problem with my weight and always felt that I was just made to be the size I am.
However approx about 2 years ago I decided that enough was enough and I couldn't carry on being so tired, health problems, sluggish and just so uncomfortable.
I used to eat alot of bread, crisps and cheese. They were my go to. However no good for me.( I still eat the above foods by the way.)

When I decided to lose the weight I wanted to attend a group that I had not been to (tried them all) and I walked in to the Monday night club into Lisa's class
I was so nervous about going for the first time, but my friend Jo came with me and has been a fabulous support.
I was greeted with the lovely Lisa and was immediately made to feel welcome.
The social team were fabulous.
Then I faced the scales- THIS WAS NOT GOOD AT ALL

I STEPPED ONTO THOSE SCALES AND I WAS MORTIFIED.

Biggest I've ever been.
I cried infront of people I didnt even know and was comforted.
My first week I was so determined to change my way and the next week I stepped on thise scales and lost an amazihg 10.5lb in weight! In a week!!!

I cried real tears at the fact I had done this and Lisa and the team were just amazing. Class went well but I was so emotional I literally had everyone crying.
This gave me so much more determination and will power as I wasn't the only one around of me.

I carried on losing the weight and the awards just kept coming in. I had so much more confidence.
I was joining in with group chats and the support was second to none. I am now over 3 and half stone down and I feel fab. People are commenting daily and although I hit a bit of a rocky few weeks I still feel confident that I am going to lose the weight I aim to lose.
I havent yet set a target as im just not sure. But I have never been pressed to do this.
You have to keep focus to keep yourself on track and I really am a great believer that you stick to plan and stay at class and it gives you the motivation, tips and ideas. It is not a diet it is a change of lifestyle.
Its a journey not a race and a better way of life.

I actually won woman of the year and Slimming World Icon this year and I really was not expecting this!
It was a huge shock but I felt amazing.

If your ever in doubt about joining slimming world dont be it really is the best thing ive ever done.

It is a life change for the better but you have to remember to life is for living but you can absolutely do this on plan."

💥MEET THE MEMBER!💥

Today's fabulous members is the gorgeous Michele Ridgway, who has lost an amazing 4st 4lb! I Couldn't be happier to see her confidence grow and see her achirve her goals. You are absolutely smashing it Micehele and we are all super proud of you.

"I joined Slimming World to feel more acceptable to begin with I guess.. then to be healthy and comfortable day to day, as I felt sluggish and tired.
Before Slimming World I used to graze.. at work, at home. Not eat at regular times.. just generally eat badly with the odd takeaway for convenience with my busy lifestyle.

The first night that I joined, I went alone, and felt at home straight away. My group are now my friends.. and its a non judgemental completely safe space.. purely my time

Food optimising has changed how I eat, I eat much more veg and fruit.. for me less red meat (purely my choice) lots of chicken, turkey and pork.. low fat options wherever possible. Food optimising offers so much flexibility with loads of recipies and healthy lifestyle changes.

Originally I joined in 2012.. got to target in 2013 but made the age old error of leaving class thinking I knew it all. I didnt. Since attending the Thursday 7pm session I have achieved my 4 stone award! 😀

I feel so much better now, I can buy clothes easier now.. I can take selfies in one shot instead of choosing the best one out of 20. 😅
Food optimising helps to save money as well. With tasty recipies to cook at home rather than buying in. Fakeaway instead of Takeaway

I feel great now.. BUT getting used to a smaller me is a work in progress. Sometimes you forget how much youve changed."

Michele is the best story teller and we always look forward to see what she has in store for us. 😅 so upbeat, bubbly and supportive of others.
