Slimming World Basingstoke in Chineham with Faith

What a wonderfully creative and moving Woman of the Year final we had in our 8am Chineham Slimming World group ❤️

A huge congratulations to our very deserving winner, Wendy, and to our inspirational nominees Tracey, Mandie, Liz and Linda – although Mandie was away enjoying her holiday when we celebrated 🌟

The ladies brought their stories to life so beautifully through poems, photographs and clothing – including an outfit that gave everyone such a powerful visual reminder of how far one member had come. Their creativity, courage and honesty made the final incredibly moving and inspiring ❤️

Woman of the Year celebrates so much more than weight loss. It celebrates the determination to keep going, the confidence that grows along the way and the kindness and encouragement members give to one another each week.

These special moments show exactly why group support matters. When someone shares their story, another member often hears just what they need to believe they can take their own next step too ❤️

Please help me celebrate Wendy and all our wonderful nominees by leaving them a ❤️ below!

One of my absolute favourite meals – colourful, satisfying and so simple 😍

Sticky rice topped with salmon, edamame beans, grated carrot and cucumber ❤️

It’s a gorgeous combination of protein-rich Free Food, plenty of Speed Free Food, sticky rice and my Healthy Extra Fats choice. It keeps me satisfied and proves that Food Optimising meals can be every bit as delicious as they look!

You could add soy sauce, chilli, lime, pickled ginger or fresh coriander to change up the flavours too 🙌

Which ingredient would be the star of this bowl for you – salmon, sticky rice or all those crunchy vegetables? Tell me below 👇

Meet three very special women from our Chineham Slimming World groups ❤️

A huge congratulations to Vikki, one of our 2026 Woman of the Year winners, and to our wonderful nominees, Nickie and Lucy 🌟

Woman of the Year isn’t simply about a number on the scales. It celebrates the qualities that make our groups so special – courage, determination, kindness, honesty and the willingness to support and inspire others.

These three women have continued to show up for themselves while also sharing ideas, offering encouragement and helping the people around them believe in what’s possible. I couldn’t be prouder of them ❤️

This is what being part of a Slimming World group is really about: being surrounded by people who understand, celebrate your successes and support you through the more challenging weeks too.

Which quality do you value most in someone who supports you? Let me know below 👇

Meldon Reservoir adventures 💜🥾🐾

4.67km completed today and what a beautiful walk! 😍

Stunning views, plenty of hills, three very happy dogs, a fair bit of wind and the odd spot of Dartmoor rain thrown in for good measure 😂🌧️

One of the things I love about being away is how easy it is to get that Active Lifestyle up without it ever feeling like “exercise”. We were just out exploring, chatting, laughing and enjoying those views… and suddenly we’d clocked up 4.67km! 🙌

And despite that rather impressive cloud cover ☁️😂, Sun Day SPF50 was still firmly on! UV rays don’t disappear just because we can’t see the sun, so SPF is very much part of my everyday routine — especially when we’re outside for hours.

Now the important question…

What gets YOU moving without it feeling like exercise?

🥾 Walking
🐾 Dog walks
🌳 Exploring somewhere new
💃 Dancing
🏊 Swimming
🏋️ Gym/classes
❤️ Something else?

Tell me below — I’m looking for ideas! 👇

Last weekend, hubby and I stayed in a beautiful shepherd’s hut, and this was our breakfast outside in the sunshine 😍☀️

Fresh fruit, yogurt and coffee, surrounded by gorgeous countryside – it felt like such a treat!

It was also a lovely reminder that you really can Food Optimise anywhere. Being away doesn’t mean putting your weight-loss goals completely on hold. With a little planning, we can still make choices that support us while enjoying every moment of the experience ❤️

What’s your favourite Food Optimised breakfast when you’re away from home? Share your ideas below 👇

A huge congratulations once again to Gaynor, our wonderful 5.30pm Woman of the Year ❤️🌟

Gaynor first began her journey as an online member before taking the brave step of transferring into our group for the extra support, encouragement and connection that she felt she needed.

It has been an absolute joy to watch her confidence soar since joining us. The friendships she has formed are wonderful, and she has become such a valued and much-loved part of our 5.30pm group ❤️

Gaynor, your fellow members chose you because they see the courage, warmth and inspiration you bring to the room. You’re a beautiful reminder of what can happen when we open ourselves up to support and discover that we don’t have to do this alone.

Please leave Gaynor a message below and tell her what you enjoy, admire or appreciate about having her in your group 👇
