'This isn’t just a weight‑loss group — it’s a community,' says local organiser
When Michelle Carter stepped back into her wedding dress after 26 years, it wasn’t just a dress‑up moment — it was a victory. A moment that said, loud and clear, that resilience, support, and the right plan can change everything.
Her journey has been anything but simple. Two children. Working through the pressures of Covid. Facing breast cancer and surgery. A decade of diets that never quite worked. And 45 years of living with type 1 diabetes. Through every challenge, she kept going — and now she’s back in the very dress she wore on one of the happiest days of her life.
“I’ve done it. Never thought I’d get back in my wedding dress — and I did it with Slimming World,” Michelle says. But she’s the first to admit she didn’t do it alone.
Michelle credits a huge part of her success to staying to group each week. “Staying to group kept me going. Hearing other members’ ideas, getting their support, and knowing we were all in it together made the biggest difference,” she says. “I never felt judged — just encouraged.”
That sense of belonging, of being lifted up by people who genuinely understand, is at the heart of Slimming World. It’s where motivation grows, confidence builds, and members realise they’re not alone.
Another turning point for Michelle was discovering that Food Optimising didn’t mean cooking separate meals or spending hours in the kitchen. “Once I realised I could Food Optimise for the whole family, everything clicked,” she explains. “I was making one meal that everyone enjoyed — no extra faff, no separate pans, no feeling like I was ‘on a diet’. It made life easier, not harder.”
That’s the beauty of Slimming World: real food, real family meals, real life, and real results.
Now, Michelle is bringing her warmth, determination, and lived experience to her brand‑new Slimming World group:

Whether you want to lose weight, boost your health, feel more confident, or simply find a friendly space to start fresh, Michelle’s group is ready to welcome you. Her story proves that no barrier is too big and no dream is too distant.
This isn’t just a weight‑loss group - it’s a community. A place where you’ll be supported, celebrated, and inspired every single week.
If Michelle can step back into her wedding dress after everything she’s faced, imagine what you could achieve with her — and a whole room of cheerleaders — by your side.
