Rose Hendricks

Hi my name is Rose mother of one and have been a Slimming World consultant for 16 months after my own successful weight loss journey!

I have been overweight most of my adult life and have done many "diets" lost weight but as soon as I went back to what I was eating before. The weight went back on plus more on top!

My defining moment after joining my local Slimming World group in Bordesley Green Birmingham in September 2013 was that I was turning 40 the following year! It was now or never I wanted to get to my target weight before my 40th birthday!

I followed the food optimising plan and it was very straightforward. It was about eating plenty of free and speed foods and not going hungry or feeling deprived-there was literally nothing I couldn't have in moderation. The odd glass of wine or two or a packet of crisps was fine.

I went on to lose 4 stones in 12 months and I was hooked!!! I've been at target for a year and a half now and honestly say it's the best thing I've ever done!

Going from a size 20 to a size 14 meant I could shop in "normal" clothes shops not only in plus size clothes shops anymore. It was and still is a fantastic feeling!

As I am so passionate about Slimming World I went and got a job there! I've worked for them now just over 6 months and I absolutely love it! I'm forever posting pictures of my meals on Instagram (rose_hendricks_sw). Why don't you take a look at my page x
