Slimming marvel Hazel Milligan pledged to boost her clients' self-esteem after a jaw-dropping plunge from size 18 to 10 within a mere six months. The Scottish weight loss guru joined East Kilbride's Slimming World outfit in April 2024, and astonishingly shed over two stone, powering through embarrassment about gaining back earlier losses.
"I had a very bad ankle and could hardly walk and was taking Naproxen from the doctor to relieve the pain", Hazel shared about her challenging start. Yet, it was the collective journey with her husband that turned things around: "I rejoined our local group to support my husband on his weight loss journey and it's changed my life too! " Enthusing about the weekly meetings, she added, "I love attending group every week for support, motivation and food ideas plus it feels great to know I am not alone.".
Her personal victory - shedding seven pounds in one week - reinforced her belief in the programme. With her Slimming World consultant providing unending support, Hazel knew she wanted to pay it forward: "The group is always warm and friendly and there's loads of buzz and banter too. My consultant always listens, is understanding and so supportive. I knew I wanted to be that for others too and be that support and motivation for them.".
Understanding the obstacles imposed by overweight based on her experience, Hazel promises undivided support for her members on their path to their target weight, reports the Daily Record. She further explained: "Setting targets, sharing recipes and other ideas, and working together as a group to overcome challenges and celebrate success is so important to a successful journey. That's why, at my Slimming World group, there'll be tons of support, encouragement and fun as well as recipe ideas to help people still be able to socialise, have their family favourites and never miss out.".
