Slimming World — January-February 2018

“““

T

here’s something about the promise and possibility of

a new year that makes it the perfect time for planning

goals and changes. It’s a reminder that the future is

a blank page, ready for you to write your vision of a healthier,

happier tomorrow. Sometimes, though, we find ourselves

flipping back to the past and deciding that we already know

exactly how our personal story is destined to run. So, what if

you could turn those previous setbacks and slip-ups into your

blueprint for a better future? In this issue of Slimming World

magazine we’re helping you to do exactly that, with strategies

for learning from experience on page 36. And to help keep your

slimming motivation firing well beyond the end of January, we’ve

also listed seven satisfyingly simple challenges that everyone can try (page 93).

Talking of motivation, I can’t wait for you to meet our real slimmers. With an

inspiring 72st gone, they’re living proof that weight loss can not only make you

look and feel better, it can have a truly transformative effect on your health.

We’ve plenty of practical ways to spur you on to success, too, including recipes

that will work for you and your lifestyle. From our everyday dinner solutions to

a curry feast that will spice up your weekends, you’ll find food to fall

in love with, now and throughout the year.

There’s a whole new you just waiting to

be discovered in 2018. Are you ready to start

an amazing new chapter of your story?

Your bright future starts today

Aged , I didn’t want weight-loss surgery

in the future. I discovered a healthier

way to eat and it’s set me on a path that

I never dreamed was possible.

It was the most amazing feeling to walk

into a heart specialist’s office and be told

I’d given myself an extra  years to live.

And boy am I living!

Tony, 

, lost    st lbs – p

I used to think fit, active mums were from

another planet. After a few weeks of

slimming, I stepped trembling into a gym

class...and soon that active mum was me.
