Let’s get one thing straight… a consultant is a member just like you. Yes — really! We struggle. We forget. We drift. We have those “I’ll just not count that…” moments 🙈 Some weeks we’re 100% on plan, smashing our Speed foods, tracking every SWIP… and other weeks? Well… let’s just say the memory isn’t quite as sharp 😅 But here’s the truth: That’s exactly why I’m the best person to support you. Because when you struggle — I’ve been there. When you feel in control — I’ve felt that buzz too. When you’re flying — I’m cheering the loudest 🙌 I get it. I live it. And I’m right there with you 💛 Day in My Life – Monday 27 April 2026 I decided to log a full day of eating — honestly, openly, and with zero “Instagram perfection”! I’m vegetarian, so my choices might look a bit different, but this just shows how flexible, filling and delicious this lifestyle can be. 🍳 Breakfast – Protein Power Start 2 Fried Eggs (Fry Light) → Free + Protein Birds Eye Potato Waffle → 2 Swips Mushrooms → Speed Food 🍄 Baked Beans → Free (Protein + Fibre) Chef Brown Sauce (small drizzle) → ~1 SWIP Tea with milk → Healthy Extra A Now listen… people always say “I don’t have time!” Waffles in the toaster ✔️ Eggs done in minutes ✔️ Beans… I’ll happily eat them cold 😂 Quick, filling, and keeps me going for hours — because protein is king 👑 ☕ Out & About – Real Life Temptations I had a meeting for my other job (yes… I do have one! 👀) with the Education Authority. Now THIS is danger territory… delis, sandwiches, pastries calling your name 😬 Instead: Americano → Free 250ml semi-skimmed milk (flask) → Healthy Extra A Preparation is everything. I went in armed and stayed on track 💪 🥙 Lunch – Quick, Filling & Flavour Packed Ainsley Harriott Moroccan Couscous → 2.5 Swips Vivera Shawarma Kebab (½ pack) → 1 Swip + Protein Onion (½) → Speed Food 🧅 Rocket → Speed Food 🥬 30g Cheese → Healthy Extra A Water → Free This is one of my go-to meals. Big bowl, loads of flavour, and seriously satisfying 😋 (Lactose-free cheese is a bit of a mission, but we work with what we’ve got!) ☕ Afternoon Pick-Me-Up Tea → Free Cherrylicious Hi-Fi Bar → Healthy Extra B 🍒 Honestly… this feels like a treat every single time 😍 🌳 Life Happens (and Steps Count!) By 4pm I’m out with the dogs 🐶🐶 — fresh air, sunshine, a good dander. Then into the garden, pottering about the greenhouse 🌱 This is real life — movement, not punishment. 🍲 Dinner – No Excuses, No Rules About Time! Finished in the garden around 7pm… and it’s EASY to think: “Too late… I’ll just grab rubbish.” Nope ❌ There is NO rule about what time you can eat! So I made: Tesco Stew Veg Pack → Speed Food 🥕🥬 Richmond No Chicken Pieces → Free + Protein Stock cubes → Free Tomato paste (2 tbsp) → Free Garlic & herbs → Free Worcestershire sauce splash → Free Normally I’d throw in gravy… but when I’m focused, I keep it as Free as possible 😉 Big pot. Hearty. Filling. Zero guilt. 🍓 Evening Treat (Because Why Not?) Not even that hungry… but fancied something sweet: Weetabix Choc Chip (1) → Healthy Extra B or ~3 SWIPs Raspberries & Grapes → Speed Food 🍓🍇 Remaining milk → Healthy Extra A A perfect little chocolate fix without going off track 😍 ✅ Daily Summary Healthy Extras Used: A: Milk + Cheese B: Hi-Fi Bar (+ optional Weetabix choice) Speed Foods: Mushrooms, onion, rocket, stew veg, fruit 🍎 Protein: Eggs, beans, Vivera kebab, Richmond pieces Total SWIPs: Approx. 7 Estimated Calories: ~1800. (I know we wouldn't normally mention these, but just to prove how filling and low in calories our fab Slimming World food is!) 💭 Final Thoughts That’s a LOT of food, right? No hunger. No deprivation. No guilt. Just real, filling, everyday food 🙌 And here’s the key bit… Weight loss comes from a calorie deficit — roughly: Ladies: under 2000 Gents: under 2500 But did I feel like I was “on a diet”? Not one bit 😌 💛 From Me to You I’m not perfect. I forget things. I drift sometimes. But I always come back. And I’ll help you do the same — with understanding, compassion, and maybe a wee laugh along the way 😄 Because this journey isn’t about perfection… It’s about progress. And I’m right here with you every step of the way 💛

One of the most powerful things about Adrian’s Slimming World at Castlereagh isn’t just the weight loss (although wow… what results 👏), it’s the people behind those journeys and how they lift each other up every single week. Yes, we celebrate pounds and stones lost — but we also celebrate confidence found, habits changed, friendships built, and lives transformed 💫 Greatest Losers… and Greatest Inspirers 🏆 This week, we were delighted to celebrate our Greatest Losers — quite simply, the members who achieved the greatest weight loss in group. A huge round of applause please 👏👏 for: Sally from our 9.00am group, now a fabulous Target member David from our 5.00pm group , who is just starting his journey to a fantastic new him Steven from our 6.30pm group , who is now at target and has successfully maintained his weight for many, many months 🎯💪 David reminds us all that every journey starts with that first brave step, while Steven shows us what’s possible when consistency and commitment become part of everyday life. Different stages. Same inspiration. ❤️ A Journey Measured in Stones… and Impact 🌟 And then there’s Sally from our 9.00am Morning Group — a woman with an incredible story and a wealth of experience to share. Sally has lost over 10 stone with Slimming World 😲👏 She began her journey with Slimming World Gilnahirk, and we are endlessly proud of everything she has achieved. But Sally’s impact goes far beyond the scales. She’s a cherished member of group and a dedicated Social Team Member , bringing passion, encouragement, and yes… very high standards 😂 to everything she does. Her pride and joy each week is our famous “Table of Interest” — making sure it’s beautifully stocked and bursting with all the amazing foods you can enjoy on our Food Optimising plan. (PS… she is sooooo fussy about that table — which is exactly why you should come along and have a browse! 😉🍓🍝) Why Group Works 💞 What makes our groups special is how members share their journeys openly — the wins, the wobbles, the lessons learned — and in doing so, inspire others who might be just starting out. From those taking their very first steps, to those maintaining their success long-term, everyone has something valuable to offer. That’s the magic of group ✨ We are inspired every single week by David, Steven, Sally , and by all our members who show up, take part, support each other, and believe in what’s possible. If you’re thinking about starting your own journey — or restarting it — you’ll never do it alone here. We’re stronger together 💙😊

As 2025 draws to a close, it feels like the perfect moment to pause, reflect and smile at just how much this year has held — for me, for my groups, and for the very special Slimming World community we’ve built together at Castlereagh 💚 Food, Food… and More Food! 🍽️ 2025 was an exciting year for food lovers, with lots of brilliant new products landing in the Slimming World at Iceland range. The wraps in particular have been an absolute game-changer — versatile, tasty and used in just about every possible way in my kitchen 😄 We also welcomed a hugely successful new Hi-Fi bar this year, with another brand-new one already on the way for 2026 👀✨ And there’s even more to look forward to as Slimming World continues to expand the range next year. Gold Group Glory 🏆 Without a doubt, the highlight of my year was taking my groups to Gold Group status — such an incredible accolade and a true reflection of the commitment, kindness and determination of my members 💛 This achievement brought celebrations galore, from official recognition at Head Office to a massive party in group. The biggest celebration of all was attending the Slimming World Oscars in Birmingham 🎬✨ Standing on stage, dressed up and absolutely chuffed to bits, is a moment I’ll treasure forever (and yes… the celebrations were wild 😂). I’m incredibly lucky in my Slimming World family to have the constant support of my District Manager, Sharon , who encourages, motivates and supports me every step of the way. We’ve built a strong working relationship rooted in trust and kindness, which makes all the difference. I’ve also been lucky to share many of these celebrations with Ashleigh and Jo from the East Belfast team — thank you both for the laughs, the ideas and the support. We genuinely hold each other together and keep each other going ❤️ Community at the Heart of Everything 🤝💚 At the very heart of everything I do is community , and what we have at Castlereagh is something truly special. From the moment members walk through the door, it’s about so much more than weight loss — it’s about belonging. Our group is a warm, welcoming space — literally and figuratively. From a cosy warm room with music playing, to fabulous bean-to-cup coffee ☕, a comfortable environment and welcoming smiles, it all helps create a place where people want to be. Over time, real friendships are formed, support flows naturally, and members lift each other up week after week. That sense of community is what makes the magic happen. When people feel safe, supported and understood, confidence grows — and with it, successful and sustainable weight loss . Castlereagh isn’t just a Slimming World group… it’s a community, and I couldn’t be prouder of it 🌈 The Countdown That Broke Records ⏱️📚 This year’s 12-Week Countdown was the most successful we’ve ever had — and for good reason! Members signing up didn’t just get one… or two… but three cookbooks completely free 🤯📖📖📖 The buzz, commitment and results that came from that countdown were simply phenomenal. A Year of Sadness and Strength 💔💚 The saddest moment of 2025 was the sudden passing of Margaret Miles-Bramwell , an extraordinary woman whose vision changed millions of lives. Everything we do is rooted in her values, her belief in people, and her understanding that kindness and support create lasting change. Margaret, you are deeply missed and never forgotten 💐 Alongside this, we sadly lost some members during the year, and others faced illness and difficult times. These moments are never easy, but once again our community showed its strength — holding one another up, offering comfort and reminding us that no one ever stands alone. To those still unwell, you are always in my thoughts — get well soon 💖 A New Group Experience 🎤✨ One of the biggest changes this year came from Margaret’s recommendations, and it has been incredibly successful. Our groups now focus on a shared group experience , rather than individual spotlights. Members can join in as much or as little as they like — no pressure, no judgement. The atmosphere is uplifting, inclusive and empowering, and the weight losses truly speak for themselves 💪⭐ Celebrating Every Win 🎉 From Man of the Year and Woman of the Year to countless members reaching their ultimate goal — Target weight — 2025 was packed with celebrations. Every journey mattered, every success was cheered, and every milestone was recognised 👏✨ Growing, Learning and Giving Back 🌱📘 On a personal note, I’ve loved spending time in my greenhouse this year, growing Slimming World Free Foods like tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and herbs. There’s something very grounding (and tasty 😋) about growing your own. I also enjoyed a very special visit to Head Office for my annual two-day training. This time is vital to me — ensuring I’m always learning, evolving and delivering the very best service to my members. Excitement is already building for the new 2026 Slimming World member book , with fabulous enhancements and changes to our plan. Big things are coming… watch this space 👀✨ Gratitude From the Heart 💕 Helping people lose weight is a privilege, but running a successful business also matters deeply to me — and that simply wouldn’t be possible without the incredible members who walk through the doors each week. A very special thank-you goes to my social team — you honestly don’t realise just how special you are. You run the group with precision every single week and you are the foundation of the warm, supportive family atmosphere that defines our groups. A December to Remember 🎄 We ended the year in true style with a gorgeous December — our first ever craft fair , a wonderful group Christmas party , and an unforgettable evening celebration where over 90 members danced the night away 💃🕺 Even better, together we raised £500 for Stroke Association NI , bringing our total donations to over £2,500 — an incredible achievement and something we can all be proud of ❤️ Thank You, 2025 🌟 2025 was a year of growth, joy, reflection, laughter and community. I couldn’t be prouder of my groups, my members and the supportive, welcoming Slimming World family we’ve built together at Castlereagh. Here’s to everything we achieved — and to an even more exciting 2026 ahead 🥂✨

Even the most dedicated Slimming World consultant needs to recharge their batteries now and again 🔋💙 Each year around Christmas, I head off in search of a little rest, relaxation… and some guaranteed sunshine ☀️😎. Christmas really is the perfect time to step away from group for just one week . While I’m away, my amazing Social Team and my dear friend Aisling will be holding the fort 💪✨ — and honestly, I couldn’t ask for better people. They know Adrian’s Slimming World inside out, they know you , and they care just as much as I do. I’m beyond grateful to them ❤️. You’ll know that my group is open 52 weeks of the year (yes, I do love you that much 😆). And while I always encourage you to attend group every single week for your success… I’m going to need you to pop into group next week especially while I’m not there — purely so I don’t feel guilty while lying by the pool with a mocktail 🍹😂 Think of it as helping my wellbeing too… teamwork makes the dream work! 😉 I’ve promised to share a photo or two from the sunshine to let you know I really am resting and recharging — and because I love sharing life with my favourite people… my members 🌴💛. Thank you so much for understanding that I won’t be in group next week. I’ll be back the following week, refreshed and ready to go 💥  And to make life a little easier over the Christmas and New Year period, I’ve moved group to Monday — so you can get weighed, stay focused, and then get on with organising Christmas, food prep, presents, and everything else that comes with the season 🎁🎅. Wishing you the happiest of Christmases , full of joy, balance, and kindness to yourself ✨ With lots of love, Adrian ❤️ @ Adrian’s Slimming World 🎄💫
