Mark at St Helens RC Church

At 18 stone, I felt trapped in emotional eating and self-doubt. Then, I discovered Slimming World—a supportive community that helped me take control of my health. With my group's encouragement, I made small, sustainable changes, lost 5 stone, reached my target weight, and reclaimed my life. Slimming World didn’t just change my health—it changed my destiny. Through sharing my journey online, I connected with someone who understood my struggles and shared my vision. As we embraced married life, old habits and weight crept back on. Yet, Slimming World taught us that setbacks aren’t failures—they’re opportunities to restart. Together, we rejoined Slimming World and recommitted to our health and happiness. I'd love to welcome you to my group.
