About the Episode

 My special guest today is someone who has a special energy and heart of gold. A midwife, weight loss consultant and a person who radiates a feeling of positivity and optimism.

 Although for Abby, it has not always been this way. At only 23, she has already accomplished so much in terms of her approach to tackling life and creating the best for herself. Today Abby shares her journey that took her from a very low point in her life through to today where she is in many ways a different person.

 Abby explains that she has had an issue with her weight for a number of years, but when starting university to become a midwife Abby became more self conscious and self aware. In addition to that, in a short space of time Abby also gained more weight leaving her feeling insecure, unhappy, and extremely self-conscious. It began to impact her social life and became a source of anxiety and unhappiness for her.

After taking a decision to join Slimming World and managing to build the courage to take that first step of walking through the door of her first session, this is when the amazing changes began for Abby.

After setting a target to lose 3 stone (42 lbs/19kg) Abby was able to lose 5lbs in her very first week by following the plan correctly. This came as an amazing shock, spurring her on to keep going and within 1 month had already lost a third of the weight she wanted to.

Listen to the amazing journey that Abby embarked on and how this has had such a positive impact in shaping the life she has today.

When people talk about weight loss being life changing, I think today’s episode is a great example of what can be possible with a small amount of self-belief and courage to start your own weight loss transformation.
