Sophiya, age 33, knew she needed to make a change back in September 2023 and made the decision to join her local Slimming World group in Ashmore Park, Wednesfield, with her brother Chris and her husband, also called Chris. 

This life changing decision has seen Sophiya transform her and her family's life over the last 12 months. Sophiya got to her personal achievement target in September, losing 6 and a half stone, her brother Chris also has reached his target losing 6 and a half stone too. 

Making it a family affair has made it easier to follow at home, enjoying their favourite meals like steak and chips with cheese and mushroom sauce. Sophiya's husband Chris has lost 3 and a half stone to reach his target weight and put their success down to the help, support, and inspiration from their group in Ashmore Park and their Consultant Debbie Turner.

The family have all embraced Slimming World's physical activity programme, Sophiya increased her walking making the school run on foot much easier, and her brother Chris is a massive fan of the Insanity workout and has also joined the National Trust, travelling all over the country and enjoying the walks. 

Sophiya and Chris recently had their first family holiday to Turkey and both felt incredibly confident and healthier since losing the weight. 

If you would like to make that change in 2025 you can find your local group online.
