What a beautiful evening to get back out walking again 😍🌄

A little nudge from a little person was just what I needed. A wee detour along the way had us attempt the bales 😂 I can safely say I didn't make it up on them 🙈 mabey next time 🙄

Fresh air and good company does the heart good in more ways than one 💞

We have set ourself a 30day challenge to build better habits, so let's see how it goes 🤞

Changes to our Buncrana evening groups from this week.

Our evening sessions will now be at 5.30pm and 7.00pm and from Tuesday 27th of August we have a wonderful new consultant Marie taking over 😍

Starting July on the right foot 💪

Making lifestyle changes as well as food changes is top priority this month. Getting moving and more active always makes me feel better and eat better 😁

Yesterday we went swimming with the kids, today its walking. Doing what you can when you can and working it into your every day life makes exercise enjoyable and more likely to become an intrinsic part of our life.

Shiney stickers make it all that more enjoyable though so I have restarted my silver body magic award on the Slimming world app and will be picking up my certificate at the end of the month 🥈🏆

Mens health week

💫Meet our members💫

Stephen attends our 6pm group in Buncrana on a Tuesday evening. Havig been crowned Man of The Year last month in group, this week he picked up his 4 stone award and the one we all want that Target award 🎯🏆
He is always so positive and supportive to the other members in group, especially his wonderful wife Mary, a real dream team.
Below are some questions I asked Stephen about his journey and his answers.

What were your reasons for joining slimming world?
Mainly it was to support our Daughter who had previously had great success with SW and was keen to get back on track. I (we) had gained a lot of weight during the Covid pandemic and something needed to be done. When I walked in to my first session, I was quite sceptical. I’d been trying for a long time to lose the weight through exercise alone and figured if that wasn’t working then nothing would.



What changes have you made since joining?
I’ve become much more conscious of what I’m eating, it’s totally changed my relationship with food. Where I would have reached for a biscuit, I’ll now automatically reach for some fruit instead. I’m much more disciplined when shopping too.

What do you enjoy about slimming world?
I was made to feel welcome right from the start, no judgment whatsoever, just encouragement. Everyone there is on the same journey. Our consultant is brilliant, keeps things moving at a pace, always a bit of craic to be had. It’s a nice approach to have someone tell you what you can have instead of what you cant, and the syn system means that nothing is forbidden, you can still enjoy what you like.


What are your favourite meals?
Okay, so I love food, always have, the great thing about SW is that no matter what your favourite food is, there are SW alternatives so you never feel “cheated” and certainly don’t feel like you’re on a diet. Looking through all the recipes on the app, you’ll find something. Favourites include “burger in a bowl” and anything seafood based – I love a nice piece of Cod with mash and peas, just cooked in a healthier way than I would have before.

Does slimming world fit into your every day life?
It did take a few weeks and I think menu planning and being prepared is key but yes, it does fit very well into everyday life

Did you face any health issues before joining?
No (thankfully) but heading towards 60 and overweight it’s only a matter of time till there would have been.
I did have a “bad knee” from an old injury which has improved drastically since loosing the weight.



What is the biggest benefit to your weight loss so far?

I feel great, it feels like the years are coming off as well as the pounds! Exercise has become fun again instead of a slog
The complements are nice too 😊

What would you say to someone wanting to lose weight and thinking about joining group?
When I joined I was a little embarrassed about having joined a sliming club, male pride I guess, now I proudly should it from the tree tops. It works, anyone asks how I did it, I’ll tell them exactly how I did it and tell them where our group meets.

Men's Health Week

💫Meet our members 💫

Davey attends our 8am class in Buncrana on a Tuesday morning. So far he has lost over 10% of his body weight and got our well deserved Man of the Year award last month. Over the past few months Davey has made changes not only to his eating habits but also to his attitude. His determination to reach his goal is amazing and when he cant attend his regular group he makes sure he attends another to keep him on track.

Heres a bit of his story ⬇️⬇️

My reason was joining slimming world because I had no confidence in how I looked, my clothes always felt tight and uncomfortable. As someone who does coaching I felt like I was wrong person to coach anyone, my weight and how I looked held me back.

One day I was playing in garden with my boy Joseph and he is mad about football and I couldn't keep up with him, I was out of breath and struggling. I knew then it was time to make a change and get weight off and start to feel better.

It was time for change and I started by getting back to gym and joining slimming world. I feel great going to the gym, the activity is great for any kinda stress and really helps me to feel good.
With Slimming world my eating habits have massively changed i now watch what I eat and especially when I am on night shift.
Rather than reaching for high calorie quick fixes I could be found eating a chicken salad at 4.30 in the morning, it helps me to stay on track.

What I love about Slimming World is how many actual meals u can have without over thinking it. There are so many fee foods to eat without having to think about it makes it easier.

One of the thinks I changed was my cheeses intake before I use to just fire on a lot a cheese .. now i can have 40g cheese has healthy A choice and its unreal how much that is, it's more than enough for any meal, it's just being aware and watching.

I love all kids of food but one of my favourite meals is a pitta bread filled with chicken all kinds off salad and cheeses toasted in a george formman grill. It's really tasty and filling.

Slimming worlds eating plan fits into everyday life, I do night shifts and it can put u off and make you wonder if it will work but by making changes and thinking about what your eating you can lose weight. If I can do it anyone can.

Before joining Slimming World I had high blood pressure and i suffered with bad headaches but since joining I have had no issues with any off that and feel so much better.

The biggest benefits to me since joining Slimming World are I am eating better, getting a workout in 3 maybe 4 times a week , I am feeling better and definitely have more energy. I have also been sleeping better.
As well as all these benefits the inches are coming off and the clothes I bought over a year and half ago now no longer fit.

As a man walking into slimming world seeing all woman was hard, I felt I wasn't going to last long, but to be honest all the woman in group and especially annemarie makes things easy and make you very welcome.

If any women or men ask me about slimming world and say they are thinking about joining I would say join, it's best thing u ever do in your life because it works and it helps with weight loss, gets you more energy, you feel more comfortable and confident, and most importantly u making new friends, trust in yourself you are making a life changing decision and you wont regret it:)

Meet our members.

Meet Patrick, he attends our Buncrana group at 11am every Tuesday morning.

Since joining he has lost almost 3stone, was our groups Man of the Year, and is a real asset to our 11am group. He is always so enthusiastic and encouraging to other members and the other members love to see him do so well every week.

He has made amazing changes to his diet and now loves walking and cycling with his fitness growing weekly. He has also inspired other members to join group as they watch his amazing transformation.

Watching the transformation in Patrick has been wonderful to watch and I cant wait to see him lift his target award.

Here is what he has to say about his journey so far 😍

My name is Patrick & I joined slimming world in January because my sister is getting married in August and I want to look my best.

I have always been shy about talking about my weight and I never had any real interest in losing weight before.
Now I love it. I love going to my classes every Tuesday and having a chat with people the same as me, trying to lose weight.

I'm not shy about it anymore, I love when people say to me about how great I look and how well I am doing. I feel healthier and fitter. It is not only great for my body but for my mental health too.
