πŸ’ƒβœ¨ Three Targets, Five Stone, One Fabulous Friendship! βœ¨πŸ’ƒ


Let’s take a moment to celebrate not one, not two, but THREE stunning ladies from group who’ve each reached their target weight – and in total have lost a fabulous 5 stone between them! πŸ‘πŸ’ͺπŸ’ƒ


But their Slimming World journey wasn’t just about the pounds they shed – it’s about what they gained along the way: confidence, health, freedom… and most beautifully of all – friendship. πŸ’–πŸ‘―‍β™€οΈπŸ‘―‍β™€οΈπŸ‘―‍♀️


In the latest pic shared from their fabulous day out to The Ivy Belfast (looking absolutely dolled up to the nines, might I add πŸ’„πŸ‘ βœ¨), these three amazing ladies radiate joy, health and the kind of friendship that can only come from truly supporting each other through life’s ups and downs – and food optimising! πŸ˜‰


At Slimming World, when you reach your dream weight – your own chosen Target – you become a Free Slimmer. That means you come to group each week, without charge, to help stay slim for life. And yes – life can throw curveballs (usually when there’s cake involved πŸ°πŸ˜‚), but our ongoing support means you never face them alone.


These three lovely souls are the heart of our group. πŸ’› Every week, they show up – not just for themselves, but for everyone else too. Their wisdom, experience, and encouragement is gold dust for our newer members just beginning their journey. They truly shine with a lightness of spirit and a gorgeous outlook on life. 🌟✨


As their Consultant, I (Adrian πŸ˜„) can honestly say:

“Everything I do is for my members. Every change I make, every idea I bring to life – it’s always with one question in mind: What’s best for my members and their weight-loss journey? That’s my Slimming World heartbeat.” πŸ’—


And I know these three lovely ladies feel the same – they live and breathe everything Slimming World stands for: freedom, flexibility, and the power to change your life.


Here’s to lifelong friendships, lasting weight loss, and knowing that with the right support – anything is possible. πŸ₯‚πŸ“πŸ’ƒ


🌈 Meet Cheryl – One of Our Rainbow Queens! πŸŒˆ

Cheryl has truly embraced the Slimming World lifestyle – from her go-to dish of pasta packed with veggies in a homemade tomato sauce πŸ…πŸ to her fabulous new wardrobe that’s bursting with colour (bye bye, all-black outfits! πŸ‘—πŸ’ƒ). She says, “When I struggle, I remind myself – today wasn’t great, but tomorrow can and will be better.” That positive attitude, along with staying to group each week, has helped Cheryl keep her weight steady and her spirits high. πŸ’ͺπŸ’• She calls it her “little social club”, where Adrian’s encouragement and the joy of shared laughter make all the difference. And those new friendships? They’ve been the icing on the low-Syn cake! πŸŽ‚πŸ’š “Everyone is made to feel welcome,” Cheryl says – “our group is full of success stories just waiting to happen.”


πŸ₯£ Lyn – From Elasticated Waistbands to Cavehill Queen! πŸ₯Ύ

Lyn’s Slimming World journey is filled with flavour, fun and oodles of laughter. Breakfast swaps between overnight oats  and poached eggs on Boxty with a triangle of Laughing Cow Light (a girl’s gotta have her cheese! πŸ§€). Her go-to dinner? Mushy pea curry – because it’s “easy peasssy” (we see what you did there, Lyn! πŸ˜‚). And when it comes to snacks, Quark with blue cheese on Ryvita keeps her going. But food’s only half the story – she now runs (well, “ungainly trots” 🀣) around Hydebank, climbs Cavehill, and rambles the Mournes and coastline with her walking group, filling her soul as well as her step count. πŸƒ‍β™€οΈβ›°οΈπŸŒŠ Gone are the elasticated waists – Lyn now fits into anything she desires! And when life wobbles? “Draw a line and start again – we’re only human. Life’s for living!” 🌟


But what really lights her up? That Tuesday morning buzz – “If we could bottle it, no one would need a GP again!” she says. It’s the laughs, the 101 ways toast is requested πŸ˜‚, and the friendships that make it magic. Once poked by her mummy for having a “solid” tummy, and told by her daughter Catherine she needed more friends… well, the weight is gone, and the friendships? Overflowing. πŸ’š


β›³ Elizabeth – Swinging into Target with a Smile! πŸ‘—

Elizabeth may not have had a huge amount to lose, but her just over a stone weight loss has made a huge difference to how she feels – especially when walking the golf course! 🏌️‍♀️ “No more sore feet slowing me down!” she says with a grin. Her go-to Slimming World meals include comforting classics like Spaghetti Bolognese and Chilli Con Carne πŸπŸŒΆοΈ – delicious, satisfying, and totally on plan. And now that she’s hit target? Clothes shopping has become a joy – she can pick pieces that fit just right and feel fabulous in them. πŸ’ƒ But best of all? She loves being part of Adrian’s Tuesday morning group, which she calls “the best social club there is!” πŸ’š A target member, a fashion queen, and a golf course goddess – Elizabeth, we’re so lucky to have your sparkle in group each week!


Join Slimming World Castlereagh Group on Tuesday at 9am, 5.00pm and 6.30pm.

What. A. Night. πŸ’« The Slimming World Oscars was nothing short of incredible – a sparkling celebration of everything we do in our wonderful Castlereagh groups and beyond πŸ’•. From the moment I arrived, I was made to feel truly special πŸ’› and so honoured to be recognised for the amazing journeys we’re all on together. The day kicked off with a rehearsal in the early afternoon – a wee practice to avoid any dramatic trips on stage (though I’m sure I could’ve styled it out! πŸ˜‚). That’s where I met my fabulous Oscars partner – 41R – while I was 41L, which meant we’d take to the stage side-by-side.🎭✨ Then came the first glass of fizz πŸ₯‚ (okay, maybe the first of many) at the glamorous reception. Awards collected, smiles wide, and even a professional photo taken πŸ“Έ – keep your eyes peeled for that one soon! Of course, a wee bite was needed before the main event, so off I went to Harvey Nics for a light lunch and… yes, a few more bubbles πŸΎπŸ˜‰. Then back to the hotel for outfit number two – time to sparkle for the evening gala! On arrival, another glass of fizz (feeling fabulously fizzy by this point πŸ˜…) welcomed us before the curtain lifted on the main event. And what an opening – stunning, dramatic music set the tone as we celebrated 55 glorious years of Slimming World magic ✨🎢. The awards began and before I knew it, I was walking through the shimmering red star ⭐️ and standing proudly on stage as a newly crowned Gold Consultant πŸ₯‡πŸ’›. It was surreal, emotional, and an unforgettable moment I’ll always treasure. There wasn’t a dry eye in the house during the beautiful and heartfelt tribute to our late founder, Margaret Miles-Bramwell πŸ’”πŸŒΉ – her passion and legacy will forever live on in the heart of every group and every member. Dinner followed – and my veggie dish? Delish! πŸ₯—πŸ˜ The fizz kept flowing, and just when you thought it couldn’t get more magical… the stars arrived 🌟. Yes, we were treated to sensational performances from the West End cast of Tina the Musical and Wicked! 🎀🎭 The night ended dancing away with my lovely District Manager, and her fabulous husbandπŸ’ƒ – with laughter, fizz, and a heart full of joy. We wrapped up at about 3am (yes, I was still standing! πŸ˜‚) and I headed to bed for a well-earned rest 😴. πŸ’« What an unforgettable day. What an incredible company. And what a privilege it is to be part of something that recognises the heart and soul we pour into every week, for every member – no matter how big or small the success ❀️. Thank you, Slimming World πŸ₯ΉπŸ’ƒπŸ’›
