Slimming world is for men too

Slimming world is for men too.

Jamie decided to join Emma’s Slimming World group in Portsmouth after attempting to put his bike bag on ready to go out on his mountain bike ride and he couldn’t do it up, he had already suffered with his cholesterol and definitely had to keep checks on it , being a man, joining a group like Slimming World always seemed a bit daunting. Jamie says ‘how wrong was I, I was put at ease and was made to feel very welcome and I quickly realised it was for anyone who needed some help and support with not only weight loss but overall health too.

Looking after your Health is so important and it’s often something men tend to ignore. Jamie was told he had high cholesterol and after doing some research realised high levels of LDL cholesterol can lead to plaque buildup in the arteries which can then increase the risk of heart disease and stroke. Jamie was ready to do something about this.

Regular exercise can also help lower cholesterol and at Slimming World they have there own unique activity programme called Body Magic by just doing that little more movement every day and increasing it slowly makes a huge difference.

I’ve learnt to cook from scratch and still enjoy my favourite meals like Currys and pitta pizza using pitta breads, roast dinner is still a favourite and just by learning to shop, cook and eat in a healthy way has changed my life. I have gone on to lose 1 stone and now I’m in a much better place for my heart and health and I’ve reached my target. I also won the slimming world icon competition in my group session which was an honour .

No matter what your reason is for wanting to get healthier or if you want to lose 7lbs or 7 stone Emma’s Slimming World group is there for you . I feel fitter, healthier and I now sleep with ease and it’s all down to the weight I’ve lost.

It’s changed my life I’m 55 this year and I have a 9 month old granddaughter who I want to be around for as long as possible, so any man out there it’s not just for the ladies it’s for us too.

Emma says Jamie was my first member that got to target and it makes me so proud, to see the changes he’s made and the difference in the way he feels.If you need Emma’s help pop along toPortsmouth rugby club every Thursday come rain or shine at 5.30 pm or 7.00pm Give her a call on 07935060521 .
