Review Stars: ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Picture the scene, there I am, sitting in my car in the car park, thinking, will I go in or just go home, coming back to group after an absence of a few months was a difficult decision, but contrary to belief, I can't do this on my own. So coming back was the only way. Walking through the doors I had nothing yo worry about, the first thing I got was a massive hug and a welcome back from Adrian, after restarting my membership with the lovely social team, then taking a deep breath and stepping on the scales, I was back, coffee, hugs from group members and it was as if I'd never been away. So if you're thinking of coming back to group DO IT, that shame, that "here we go again" is all in your head, you've got nothing to lose only the lbs. Group Attended : Castlereagh Morning Date : Nov 2025

It’s been an absolutely incredible year for Adrian, the Slimming World Consultant at the Royal British Legion on Montgomery Road, Castlereagh — where he runs three thriving Slimming World sessions every Tuesday at 9am, 5pm and 6.30pm . And what a year it’s been! Adrian hasn’t achieved just one… or even two… but THREE major Slimming World awards in 2025 — and the year’s not even over yet! 🏆✨ 🥇 Gold Group Award – and 10 Years of Changing Lives! Back in March, Adrian’s Castlereagh group achieved the prestigious Gold Status — a huge honour in the Slimming World world. This accolade is reserved for groups that consistently go above and beyond, offering outstanding support, care and motivation week after week. Gold Groups are known for their vibrant atmosphere, fantastic weight losses and the strong sense of community that keeps members coming back with a smile. This year’s achievement was made even more special as Adrian also celebrated 10 incredible years as a Slimming World Consultant 💕 — a full decade of helping hundreds of members transform their health, confidence and happiness. To mark both milestones, Adrian proudly attended the glamorous Slimming World Oscars in Birmingham in June, where Consultants from across the UK came together to celebrate excellence, passion and dedication. 💎 Diamond Group & Community Impact Award – October 2025 Just last week, at the end of October 2025, Adrian was invited to Slimming World Head Office in Alfreton, Derbyshire , for a very special Gold Celebration Day — an invitation-only event for the UK’s top-performing Consultants. It was a day of pride, passion and celebration, where those leading the most successful and supportive groups shared ideas, experiences and a few emotional moments too! During this inspiring event, Adrian’s Castlereagh group was awarded Diamond Group status , a mark of true excellence that celebrates long-term success, sustained growth and the incredible results of members who continue to lose weight and maintain their achievements over time. And as if that wasn’t enough, Adrian was also incredibly privileged to receive the highly regarded Community Impact Award – an honour that celebrates Consultants and groups making a real difference in their communities, helping to make people happier, healthier and more confident every single day. ❤️ “I’ve always believed Slimming World is about more than weight loss – it’s about belonging, confidence, and rediscovering joy in life. Every smile, every pound lost, every new friendship formed in our group is what keeps members inspired week after week.” – Adrian, Slimming World Castlereagh 💕 A Community Like No Other Every week, Adrian proudly welcomes over 200 members across his three sessions – members who come together not just to lose weight, but to gain confidence, support each other, and celebrate every success. Whether it’s your first visit or your fiftieth, you’ll be greeted with warmth, laughter, and genuine encouragement. If you’re ready to start your own journey towards feeling happier, healthier and more confident – there’s a place for you at Adrian’s Slimming World, Castlereagh . 👉 Join today or find out more at: www.adrians-slimmingworld.com/new-member-short ✨ Your journey could start right here… and who knows where it might take you! 💫

A day of joy, inspiration, and recognition at Slimming World Head Office, Derbyshire. This weekend, along with Ashleigh Allen (Slimming World Gilnahirk) we had the absolute privilege of being invited to Slimming World Head Office in beautiful Alfreton, Derbyshire , for a very special event – the Slimming World Gold Celebration Day! 💛 Arriving bright and early for 9:30am, the welcome couldn’t have been warmer. We were greeted with delicious refreshments, friendly smiles from Head Office staff, and even treated to a professional photo shoot proudly holding our Gold Award 🏆. The morning began with a fabulous welcome from Lisa Salmon , Slimming World’s Managing Director, who set the tone for a day full of pride, passion, and positivity. We celebrated everything that makes our groups so special – the care, the community, and the commitment that helps our members achieve life-changing success 🌟. To our total surprise, Slimming World then announced that we were being presented with a brand-new accolade – the ‘Community Impact Award’ 🎉💖. This award recognises the difference our groups make in local communities, and I can honestly say it was such a proud and emotional moment. Adrian said ... "The most important thing in my Slimming World groups is our sense of community, we are one big Slimming World family at Slimming World Castlereagh" Ashleigh said… “For me, the magic of Slimming World is seeing members lift each other up week after week — we celebrate every win together and support each other through the tougher days too. It’s more than a group, it’s a family 💕✨” We toasted the achievement with a glass of bubbly 🥂 before enjoying a delicious, healthy Slimming World lunch in the stunning Head Office restaurant – talk about dining in style! 🍽️ After lunch, we had another photo shoot (we can’t wait to share those official photos soon 📸) and then were given an exclusive sneak peek into some very exciting developments. We heard about brand-new research focused on our younger members , and then… we were let in on a few secrets 👀 about exciting new Slimming World products and foods launching in January 2026 ! Trust me, you’ll definitely want to pop into our groups this week for a sneaky preview of what’s coming! 😍 The afternoon rounded off with a brilliant interactive session about how Slimming World will continue to evolve and grow over the next 1, 2, 5, and even 10 years – one thing’s for sure, we’re here to stay and ready to support every single member all the way to target 💪❤️. And just when we thought the day couldn’t get any better… we were both shocked and delighted to be awarded an additional ‘Diamond Award’ 💎. This award recognises consistency in supporting members and maintaining exceptional success across a 12-month period – something we're incredibly proud of and truly humbled by. For Adrian this celebration felt extra special as it also marked 10 years since I first became a Slimming World Consultant 🎊. A whole decade of helping members achieve their dreams, change their lives, and discover a brand-new confidence in themselves 💕. Over those 10 years, I’ve met the most inspiring people, shared so many laughs (and the odd happy tear!), and witnessed the power of what we can achieve together 🌈. What a day! From the warm welcome to the inspiring company updates and the recognition of all our hard work – it was a day I’ll never forget 💕. So, keep your eyes peeled in group this week for some official photos , sneaky previews , and maybe even a few celebratory surprises 🎈✨  Follow Ashleigh at: https://www.facebook.com/slimwithashgilnahirkandbraniel

Exclusive to Adrian’s Slimming World is our newly refreshed, newly jingly, newly fabulous Mr Snowtivator! ❄️💙 So… what is he? 🤔 He’s your very own little motivation snowman for the next 12 weeks — helping you stay on track right up until Christmas 2025! 🎁⏳ On his shiny Christmas wish tag, you’ll write down what you’d truly love to lose by Christmas. Maybe it’s a stone (or two!), maybe it’s to shimmy into that sparkly outfit for the big day — whatever it is, this is your wish, your goal, your moment! 🌟 And, as the Spice Girls once said… 🎶 “Tell me what you want, what you really, really want!” 🎶 (…and we’ll help you make it happen 😉). Each week, as you lose weight, you can write your loss on one of Mr Snowtivator’s 12 jingly balls — one for each week until Christmas! 🔔✨ Watching him fill up week by week is the perfect way to visualise your progress — and, let’s be honest, who doesn’t love a snowman that celebrates every little win with you? ☃️💖 This has now become a yearly tradition in our Castlereagh Slimming World groups — something we keep alive together each festive season. 🎅💪 It’s not just about the numbers on the scales; it’s about keeping your focus, celebrating your journey , and enjoying the sparkle of support that group brings every single week. ✨ One gorgeous member (the fabulous Patricia 💕) reminded us a few weeks ago that sometimes these little things — like a simple snowman sheet — can mean so much more. They’re not just paper. They’re a way to see your dreams take shape , one week at a time. Patricia used hers to stay focused for a family wedding… and ended up losing even more than her original Christmas wish last year! 🎉👏 So… grab your Mr Snowtivator this week, pop your wish on his tag, and let’s jingle all the way to Christmas with smiles, sparkle, and a little snowman magic! 💫☃️🎄 Because together, we’re not just dreaming of a white Christmas… We’re working towards a lighter one! 😉❄️💪

Every now and then, a member comes along who truly lights up the room – and for our group, that’s John! 🌟 John first joined Adrian's Slimming World back when he was running groups at Belvoir Park Golf Club . From the very beginning, he threw himself not just into his own journey, but into helping others too. He became an active member of our Social Team , arriving early every week to help set up the room, welcome members at the pay desk, and make everyone feel at home. His bubbly, jolly, and upbeat attitude was infectious – the sort of energy that lifts the whole group. But John’s contribution didn’t stop there. He regularly shared his food and snack ideas , and soon after, he discovered a brand-new passion – running . His enthusiasm for this new hobby inspired others to try it too, encouraging members not just to stay on plan, but to give Body Magic a go. (For those who don’t know – Body Magic is Slimming World’s way of celebrating every step of physical activity, from short walks to marathons, as part of your weight loss and wellbeing journey 🏅). John has now smashed through his Platinum Body Magic award with his weekly Parkruns, regular training, and commitment to staying active. And while he’s out there speeding ahead, the rest of us are cheering him on – from waybehind! (Go on John, save some energy for us at the back! 😂). John’s warm heart, non-judgemental encouragement, and friendly advice have helped so many members on their own journeys. He’s living proof of how powerful Slimming World’s food optimising and Body Magic can be when you embrace it fully – not to mention the support you get (and give) in group each week. John, we’re beyond proud of you – and can’t wait to see where your running shoes (and that big smile) take you next. 🏃‍♂️💨✨
