BelfastWhy did you decide to join WeSlimTogether?
I needed to change lifestyle habits which could impact on my health and well-being.How has WeSlimTogether changed you?
I have become more determined to get fitand healthy and the WST plan suits me and my lifestyle. I am doing this for me, and I am so happy to see the results achieved so far.For you, how does WeSlimTogether differ to other groups?
When I reflect on my experience of other groups I have joined over the years, I noted that they talked about syns and cheat days. This compounded the feeling of doing something I should not be doing if it was not on plan. Whereas WST encouraged me to think about my success over the week and allow myself pleasures and treats. Not just edible treats but being good to myself and taking care of myself
. Not feeling guilty about indulging in foods which are not on plan,but planning how I would enjoy my treats each week. This has been instrumental in keeping me focused. Also the individual and group support has really spurred me on and not having to talk about individual weight loss means that there is no fear of shame or guilt as the emphasis is on getting healthy and developing good lifestyle habits and supporting each other.Anything else you would like to share about WeSlimTogether?
I never would have believed that seven months since joining I would have achieved three and a half stones off. I am determined to keep going. I know that with support from Catherine and my friends at the Skegoneill group and within the wider WST family I can and will keep going and lose more weight. -

GreenislandWhy did you decide to join WeSlimTogether?
I decided to join because I was gaining far too much weight and needed to put a halt to itHow has WeSlimTogether changed you?
WeSlimTogether has helped me to not only stop the weight gain but loss weight tooFor you, how does WeSlimTogether differ to other groups?
It differs because it's private, I'm not weighed in front of other clients and my gain or loss is not called out in group, no one knows my weight change unless I decide to tell them. I also think the group differs because I was able to set my own weight goal which I know suits me and would definitely be to heavy for other groups The information we receive every week is always helpful. I Also learn about the reason we need certain food groups and how they work in our bodyAnything else you would like to share about WeSlimTogether?
My consultant and team make me feel very welcome and comfortable every single week, me consultant is very encouraging even on my bad days & is aware I'm vegan and always points out an alternative for me and encourages me to share my food ideas within the group I have met some beautiful people and even when I get down to my own goal I'll continue to attend group. -

LarneWhy did you decide to join WeSlimTogether?
I trained 3-5 times a week but couldn't seem to control my eating.How has WeSlimTogether changed you?
I have always struggled with anxiety and depression and a lot of it was down to appearance and never being happy. Then because I was down I ate and it became a vicious cycle of weight gain. At 20 years old I looked around at everyone my age and felt absolutely awful. Everyone went out and looked fab and I felt like a big beached whale. I knew I had to make the change and started to train a lot and managed to lose almost 2 stone but felt it was time to get my eating sorted so came to we slim together! Now I'm losing weight, gaining confidence, learning about my food and what's best for my body, feeling happier and healthier and making friends!For you, how does WeSlimTogether differ to other groups?
I have never tried any groups due to being such a fussy eater and the fear of not being able to stick to the plan and the fear of large groups of people. We slim together is a plan for the fussy eaters like me! It was so friendly and easy to fit into the group!Anything else you would like to share about WeSlimTogether?
The consultants and other members are so friendly and have made me feel so welcome and the support is fantastic! I can't wait to continue on my journey and for once in my life reach my target!
