MORE ABOUT ME

🌟 On Tuesday 25th March 2025, in my 10th year as a Slimming World Consultant, my Castlereagh groups officially became GOLD GROUP STATUS! 🌟

That means we’re now one of Slimming World’s top-performing groups — with over 200 amazing members attending each week and achieving real, life-changing weight losses together 💛

It’s been a long, rewarding journey to get here — and I want to tell you how it all began…

From as far back as I can remember, I’ve always been overweight. Now, this isn’t a “woe is me” tale (don’t worry, no tiny violins needed 🎻😅) — it was just my reality. But deep down, I always carried this quiet wish to be slimmer, to feel more confident in my own skin.

Over the years, I tried it all — Weight Watchers, Atkins, the Cabbage Soup Diet (we don’t talk about that one 💨🤣), calorie counting, gym bunny life — you name it, I’ve probably done it in Lycra. And like many of you, they all worked… for a bit. But the weight always crept back, and often brought a few extra pounds along for the ride. 🙄

Then something shifted. My 40th birthday was creeping up (hello midlife panic!) and I thought, “If not now, then when?” It was February. My birthday was in October. And that’s when I made the decision that changed my life — I joined Slimming World.

I still remember that first night walking into group on the Ravenhill Road. The room was buzzing, filled with chatter and warmth, and the Consultant welcomed me like an old friend. She told me I could eat anything I wanted — pasta, spuds, rice… and I genuinely thought, “She’s off her rocker.” 😂 But I’d tried everything else, so I gave it my all — and never looked back.

That first week I lost 4lbs, and while some folks were losing 6 or 8, I was thrilled. Because for the first time, I wasn’t starving. I was eating real food, living my life, going out, enjoying myself — and still seeing the scales go down.

Week after week, the pounds melted away. By the week of my 40th, I’d lost 5 stone — and I was handed that shiny certificate just days before celebrating in a custom Armani suit, feeling like an actual celebrity. (Darling, even the lining was fabulous ✨👔)

Soon after, I was asked if I’d consider becoming a Consultant myself. It was a no-brainer. I wanted everyone to feel the joy I’d found — the confidence, the freedom, the second chance.

I started with one group in Fourwinds. Just 30 members on the first night… but within four weeks, over 130 people were through the door. I ran groups in Castlereagh, Mountpottinger, Duncairn, Belvoir Park — all while holding down a full-time job (and drinking A LOT of coffee ☕😂). At one point, I had over 300 members a week — and every single one of them mattered.

I’ve always believed that Slimming World works best when it’s got heart. My group isn’t just about weight loss — it’s about belonging, support, laughter (usually at my expense!), and making every member feel like the star of their own story 🌟

And now, here we are — a Gold Award-winning group in my 10th year, still buzzing with excitement and filled with the most incredible people. I feel so proud, and so lucky.

So that’s my journey… now I’d love to hear yours 💛



Whether you’ve got a little to lose, a lot, or just need to feel like you again — come along, grab a cuppa, and join the most supportive, sparkly, and slightly bonkers group around ✨😉

Let’s do this together.
