Penny at The Venue

In July 2024 my daughter got engaged and the thought of looking at photographs of me on her special day for years to come filled me with dread. Over the years, I had slowly put on weight and I knew I had to do something about it. I'd seen a banner for a group in my village, so at the age of 57 I joined Slimming World for the first time. I was extremely nervous on my first day, but was soon welcomed into the group and started to learn a better way of eating. By the time the wedding arrived in 2025 I had lost 2st 7lbs and have since gone on to lose another 7lbs. I am now maintaining and want to help other people lose their weight in a sustainable way without any humiliation, but with total support.
