A woman from West Lothian turned her health around after a scare with MS, losing over four stone and embracing a healthier lifestyle.
West Lothian: Susan Duffin faced a tough time when doctors thought she might have MS. She was feeling drained and sore, which led to a lot of worry about her health.
After some tests, it turned out she didn’t have MS, but it was a wake-up call. Susan realized she had been ignoring her health for too long. So, she decided to join Slimming World to get back on track.
Once she started her journey, she lost over four stone! Susan shared that she felt her health was slipping away, and she knew she had to take action. Hitting that four-stone mark gave her a real boost of confidence.
Having a supportive consultant like Nicola, who had been through a similar experience, made a big difference for her. It was great to have someone who understood what she was going through.
Of course, not everyone was supportive. Some people thought she had lost too much weight, but Susan knew what a healthy weight looked like for her. It was tough, but she stayed focused on her goals.
She fell in love with Slimming World’s food optimization plan and switched to a plant-based, vegan diet. Simple meals like mashed potatoes with mushroom gravy and broccoli became her favorites.
“Even though my meals are basic, they taste great,” Susan said. It’s proof that you don’t need fancy food to enjoy what you eat.
Not only did she reach her weight loss goal, but she also changed her mindset. Susan feels happier and more confident in her own skin, which is what really matters.
Nicola Brown, her Slimming World consultant, couldn’t be prouder. She praised Susan for her enthusiasm and how she supports others in the group. Susan’s positivity has been a huge boost for everyone around her.
