A weight has been lifted for slimmers in Galway city and county as they are an incredible 142 stone 6lb lighter since the beginning of the year. They refused to let lockdown stop their slimdown and they have lost weight while eating delicious, satisfying, family-friendly, meals. Slimming World’s flexible healthy eating plan, Food Optimising, makes losing weight easy and enjoyable. There is no calorie counting and no tiny portions — just healthy, everyday, foods that can be found at the supermarket.
With the current restrictions set to continue until at least March 5, some people may be worried that their Slimming World group is currently closed. However, a spokesperson from Slimming World said: “While our in-person groups are temporarily suspended due to the Covid-19 restrictions, we're delighted to let you know that we can still bring you all the support, friendship, and inspiration in our Slim from Home groups, which you attend from the comfort and safety of your own home. We’ll help you make changes to how you shop, cook, and eat, so you’ll lose weight without ever feeling hungry or deprived. These small, easy, changes will benefit your health, help you slim, and amaze you with the results they bring.”
These Slim from Home groups have proved to be a lifeline to many people who really struggled with their weight since the start of the pandemic. Roisin, who joined one of Maura’s groups just four weeks ago and has already lost 9.5lb said: “Like a lot of people, I found 2020 challenging and gained a few extra pounds. As a front-line healthcare worker, I am very aware of the impact of excess weight and associated health risks including Covid-19. I wanted to make a fresh new start to the New Year and take my health into my own hands. I’m delighted that the healthy changes I’ve made over the last few weeks are already making a difference.”
To help members get off to the best possible start to their weight loss journey, Slimming World has a free gift of a new Fresh Start booklet for every new or re-joining member. It contains 28 days of meal plans and recipe ideas. It also has an offer launching on February 14 where every member who commits to a six-week countdown will receive one week’s membership plus a copy of the latest recipe book, Slimming World’s Passion for Pasta, completely free.
