Janda at North East Essex Co-Operative Academy

In 2016, I was the biggest I had ever been. After losing my dad in 2013, I found myself stuck in a cycle of grief and comfort eating that's when I joined Slimming World. From the moment I started Food Optimising, the weight began to drop off. I lost 2 stone, I’ll never forget my Consultant’s advice: “Always put a rainbow on your plate.” That phrase has stayed with me ever since. Fast forward to today, I’ve been a Slimming World Consultant for nearly 2 years. Let me tell you, my group is something else. In my first year my group lost a staggering 379 stone. That number represents more than just weight—it’s a symbol of determination, support, and transformation. It’s the friendliest, most uplifting and safe space on a Saturday morning.
