WHAT AN AMAZING JANUARY!!!!

I can't believe we're at the end of January already! We've welcomed over 50 new members this month and the weight losses have been just INCREDIBLE - over 350lbs in the past two weeks alone - whoop whoop!!!

I'm just back from head office, super-charged and raring to go!!! I was so thrilled to hear how busy and buzzing group was last week and I know the lovely Cathy did a terrific job looking after you all. I can't wait to see everyone this week. There were some amazing awards given out last week so I can't wait to celebrate them with you again and share your success!!!

This week we're celebrating our Couple of the Year which is a great excuse for everyone to bring in a food taster!!!! So bring in a sample of your favourite syn-free food or recipe so we can share some lovely food ideas. We have a few couples eligible so we can vote on the night to see who is worthy of the prestigious group title!!!

I am just so incredibly proud of you all and your ongoing commitment and I'm just thrilled to tell you that your group is on track to receive a prestigious SILVER AWARD in February. To do this - I need your commitment to continue to spread the word and continue to do the fabulous job your doing by coming to group week after week. I'm incredibly excited about this, I could actually spontaneously combust and can hardly contain myself!!!! I know you're all superstars so I know you'll support each other to ensure you're part of a Silver Group which will be just amazing - whoop whoop!!!!

We'll also find out this week who your Slimmer of the Month is for January - I might just about spontaneously combust with excitement this week!!!

A PAUSE FOR THOUGHT AT CHRISTMAS

Christmas comes but once a year
And when it comes it brings good cheer.
But what of diet I hear you say
Can I forget it for just one day?
But then there’s the build-up, the parties, the fun
All part of Christmas, am I to have none?
Can I resist the mince pies and cream
Or that Christmas cake looking a dream.
Glasses of sherry, trifle and crisps
Punches, peanuts and sin laden dips.
Am I to despair, is everything lost
Is it 10 syns a day at any cost?
Do not panic, help is at hand
Just stay calm and understand.
Everyone’s human, we want to have fun
Its just once a year, when all’s said and done.
One mince pie (or two) passing our lips
Won’t put 10 inches back on our hips.
Just be careful, and don’t go mad
To forget you are slimming would be quite sad.
Think how hard you’ve worked to get slim
(Remember Santa and the size of him!)
So when your’e full up and ready to pop
Make Slimming World your very first stop
A brand new you for 2011
With you having simply loads of fun.
Your Slimming World group will always be here
So Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

GOOD TIMES WITH JLC!

What a terrific guy Justin Lee Collins is - he spent hours having his photograph with hundreds of excitable Slimming World consultants. He was an absolute treasure, really empathised with our cause, not to mention having an amazing singing voice!!! He was deeply moved during the annual awards ceremony and hopefully enjoyed presenting the award to our amazing Woman of the Year who lost 15 stones. Whoop whoop!

FABULOUS MISS SLINKIES!!

Huge congratulations to all our nominees who took part in the Miss Slinky Group finalists. The winners were the lovely Leah in the first session, and the gorgeous Hannah in the second session. Both had such fabulous weight-loss journeys to tell, as did all of our lovely finalists. There were some amazing awards given out, including no less than FIVE CLUB 10 awards. With a total weight loss of 100lbs - and just 12.5lbs gained, you really are doing a fabulous job - huge praise to all of you. With just 5 weigh-ins to go before Christmas, there is so much that can be done - I have a small but very exciting early Christmas gift for everyone at group next week to keep that motivation strong!!!!

SLIMMING WORLD AWARDS 2010

I was honoured indeed to meet the amazing Margaret Miles-Brawell - our founder - at the Slimming World Awards last Saturday. What an inspirational and moving evening - to hear so many incredible weight-loss journeys from the 10 stunning finalists was tear-jerking indeed! They were all winners and I can't wait to share their stories in group.

Miss Slinky group final on 17th November - see you there!

Who will be Cambourne’s Miss Slinky 2010?

NOMINATIONS REQUIRED NOW!!!!!

Every Slimming World group has a Miss Slinky – so who will be Cambourne’s Miss Slinky 2010? There’s no minimum weight loss criteria at all -Slinkiness is a state of mind – it’s about how you feel!! We will be celebrating Miss Slinky in group on Wednesday 17th November so you now need to start thinking about who you would like to nominate to be in the final and let me know so that I can get in touch with nominees to get them on board for the final. There’s a fabulous £2,000 prize for the National Winner which is announced in January!!!!

I’ve got a fantastic fun night in group planned that evening with low-syn cocktail tasters. Why not glam it up for the night and really show off and accentuate your best bits? Wear something that makes you feel fabulous – with as much bling as you like – and that includes those gorgeous men amongst you!! It will be an ideal opportunity to find out how everyone is progressing in terms of your Christmas Wish pledges – don’t forget that everyone achieving their Christmas wish by 22nd December will qualify for the draw for a FREE 12 Week countdown which we’ll draw in group on 29th December.

So let me know as soon as possible who you want to nominate as your Sassy Miss Slinky – and also let me know if you fancy bringing syn-free or low-syn cocktails in that evening so we can raise a toast to Miss Slinky 2010!!!
