Pain in Abi's joints, in particular her hips left her having sleepless nights prior to joining Slimming World. Abi had spotted on her works internal intranet system an offer for a workplace referral scheme and made the decision to join her local group with Vicky in Harlescott on Thursday mornings. 

"What I love about Slimming World is I can eat real food without restrictions on portion size. It is food that me and my whole family can enjoy. I love a chicken and vegtable casserole for evening meal and cheesy minestrone soup for lunch. During group  I learnt all about the food I could enjoy without feeling guilty and going hungry and I use the Slimming World app to give me inspiration with recipe ideas so I never got bored with food."

Abi has lost 5 stone 7lb in just over a year and is feeling healthier, happier and fitter than ever, and says: "I had to give up running prior to losing weight due to the pressure and the pain in my joints, now I am back to running twice a week and faster times than ever.
