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 🎄💫

What an incredible November it’s been in group! This Christmas, together we’ve raised a fantastic £500 for Stroke Association Northern Ireland — and I honestly couldn’t be prouder of our amazing Slimming World family 💜 Last week our morning group turned into a little winter wonderland with a mini craft fair , where talented members brought in their gorgeous handmade bits and bobs. Add in an extra-big raffle (with prizes donated straight from your own cupboards, craft rooms, and kind hearts!), and we had a morning bursting with generosity 🎁✨ And the kindness didn’t stop there! Our lovely evening groups also jumped in with additional raffle prizes and personal donations , showing once again that our community spirit shines just as brightly at 5pm and 6.30pm as it does at 9am 😄💕 We might all come together with the goal of losing weight, but as we know… Adrian’s Slimming World is so much more than a slimming club . We’re a community of people who look out for one another — and for others. Sadly, stroke has touched many families, and especially at this time of year we’re reminded just how vital it is that charities like Stroke Association NI are there to support survivors and their loved ones 💜 This latest fundraising boost has taken our total donated over the years to an incredible £2,400 . Honestly, you blow me away. Your kindness, your care, your laughter, your 5p donations every week — it all adds up, and together you have made such a meaningful impact. Thank you, each and every one of you. You make this group special. You make a difference. And you do it with heart ❤️✨ Here’s to a Christmas filled with joy — and a community filled with love 🎄💫

December is almost here — the lights are twinkling, the celebrations are starting, and the food… well, it’s everywhere! 🤣🍫🍷 And with just a few weeks left until Christmas, it’s totally normal to have that little voice whispering, “Maybe I should stop now and just come back in January…” But let’s be honest — stopping now can be disastrous for your weight, your confidence and your sense of control. And the amazing news? You absolutely DON’T need to give up! 💪🌟 🎁 You Don’t Have to Be Perfect — You Just Have to Be Present This time of year is busy, sociable, sparkly and full of temptations. You probably won’t be on plan 100% — but that’s completely normal and expected! Between shopping days, Christmas markets, family meet-ups and party nights… life gets lively! 🎉😅 But here’s the uplifting truth: when you actually list out your festive commitments and compare them to the full December calendar, you’ll likely discover you have FAR more days where Food Optimising is totally doable. And those days can make a massive difference to how you feel going into the New Year. Imagine stepping into January without a gain — or even with a little loss! 😍🎯 🎄 If You Loosen the Reins a Little — Don’t Panic! If you decide to enjoy a few festive treats or have a night off here and there, that’s absolutely OK. You’re human, it’s Christmas, and you deserve joy! 🎅🥂✨ The MOST important thing — the secret ingredient — the magic sprinkle — is this: KEEP COMING TO GROUP. 🎯 It keeps you accountable 🎯 It limits any damage 🎯 It reconnects you with your goals 🎯 It surrounds you with support, ideas, laughs and understanding One off-plan day is nothing. Group is what keeps you grounded, steady and feeling in control. 💛 A Kind Word If You’re Thinking of Stopping If life is feeling overwhelming and you’re considering taking a break… your choice will always be respected. But please know — stopping completely is a very risky decision. You might gain weight quickly, lose confidence, and find it difficult to return. But whatever happens — the door will always be open to you. You’ll never be judged. You’ll always be welcomed back. Just make a promise to yourself that if you do step away, you will return — because you deserve that fresh start. 💛🌟 ✨ Group Is More Important Than Ever at Christmas Right now, group is buzzing with festive energy — tips, tricks, ideas, recipe swaps, support, giggles and inspiration. It’s honestly the BEST time to come along! 🎄😄 You’d be missing out if you stayed away — and more importantly, you’d be missing out on the support that can carry you all the way through the holidays feeling confident and proud. ⭐ Let’s Do December Together Whatever your December looks like — totally on plan, mostly on plan, mindfully flexible or with a few twinkly treats — don’t do it alone. 🎄 Come to group. 🎄 Stay connected. 🎄 Stay supported. 🎄 Stay proud. You’ve worked so hard — let’s protect those results, boost that confidence and walk into Christmas feeling fabulous. 🎅✨💪 Adrian

Review Stars: ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Picture the scene, there I am, sitting in my car in the car park, thinking, will I go in or just go home, coming back to group after an absence of a few months was a difficult decision, but contrary to belief, I can't do this on my own. So coming back was the only way. Walking through the doors I had nothing yo worry about, the first thing I got was a massive hug and a welcome back from Adrian, after restarting my membership with the lovely social team, then taking a deep breath and stepping on the scales, I was back, coffee, hugs from group members and it was as if I'd never been away. So if you're thinking of coming back to group DO IT, that shame, that "here we go again" is all in your head, you've got nothing to lose only the lbs.
