Two Slimming World members lost 3 stone each, transforming their lives and inspiring them to become Slimming World consultants themselves. A er a disastrous ski holiday where Tracy was stretchered o the mountain, she decided if she didn’t lose weight she wouldn’t have a life to live. Tracy weighed just over 15 stone and was a size 22. Tracy says: “Slimming World has literally changed my life. I’ve lost 3 stone and I am now a size 16. I haven’t reached my target weight yet, but I am well on my way” Bex struggled to lose weight and had tried every ‘diet’ and fad out there. A er her third child Bex decided enough was enough and joined Slimming World. Bex explains: “I lost weight nearly every week while continuing to eat the food I loved and I was never hungry! When I achieved my target weight loss of 3 stone I was thrilled. I can’t wait to help Tracy tributes Slimming World as ‘Literally Life-Changing’ A win-win for Bex who lost weight whilst still enjoying all the food she loves Slimming World encourages you to eat lots of tasty, satisfying foods like pasta, potatoes, rice, lean meat, sh and eggs while lling up on all your favourite fruit and vegetables. And the best bit is that none of these need to be weighed or measured. You can even enjoy a full English breakfast as part of the plan!
