Woman of the Year in group is such a special time for us 💖. It’s our chance to shine a big, bright spotlight on everything that makes our women amazing. We celebrate: ✨ Those with incredible weight losses ✨ Those who show up week after week ✨ Those who share ideas, tips and recipes ✨ Those who are always there to support a fellow member ✨ Those who’ve overcome personal hurdles with courage and strength ✨ Those who inspire others to keep going, even when the going gets tough 💪 It’s not just about weight loss — it’s about the woman in group who inspires you most 💕. And here’s the best bit… the winner isn’t picked by me, your Consultant. It’s chosen by you, the group 🙌. The week before the final, members select their finalists. I then count up the votes and, on finals week, we have the absolute honour of crowning our Woman of the Year and our finalist. (We call them finalists because, in our eyes, they’re all winners 🏆.) On the big night, members hear the stories of these incredible women — the food they love to eat 🍲, the challenges they’ve overcome, the new life they’re leading, and the ways that losing weight with Slimming World has changed their world for the better 🌈. It’s such a feel-good week — a week where everyone leaves group walking 10 feet tall, thinking “I can do this. I can get to my dream weight and stay there for life!” 💪✨ Just look at some of the inspiring things our members said when nominating… Member quotes: “She motivates me every week.
