Livingston slimmers have taken charge of their health journey after feeling dissatisfied with their wedding day photos. Shannon and Robyn Owens decided to make a change after feeling sluggish and unhappy with their appearance prior to joining a Slimming World group. After just two weeks of being part of the group, Shannon and Robyn were pleasantly surprised at how smooth the transition had been for them.
The duo found themselves enjoying the food, exploring new recipes, and eagerly anticipating the weekly group sessions. Shannon expressed her previous skepticism about diets but now believes in the effectiveness of Slimming World’s Food Optimising plan, which allows for lifestyle changes without feeling hungry. Robyn shared their pride in losing 1st 8lbs and 2st 0.5lbs since joining in August 2024, achieving their Club 10 award and reaping the health benefits of their progress.
Despite facing challenges along the way, Shannon and Robyn remained committed to their goals with the support of their group. They highlighted that socializing and dining out is a significant aspect of their lives, and they have learned to navigate these situations while still losing weight. Their dedication and positivity led them to be voted Slimming World Icons 2024 by their peers in recognition of their contributions to the group.
Gaye Malcolm, the Slimming World consultant, commended Shannon and Robyn for their commitment, honesty, and positive impact on the group. She praised their progress and expressed anticipation for their accomplishment of reaching their target weights. The group sessions led by Gaye take place weekly in Geddes House, Kirkton North Road, Livingston, on Thursdays at 5.30pm and 7pm and Saturdays at 8am and 9.30am.
Shannon and Robyn’s journey is a testament to the power of perseverance, support, and self-belief in achieving health and wellness goals. Their determination to make a change in their lifestyle and embrace healthier habits has not only transformed their physical appearance but also boosted their confidence and motivation to continue their journey towards reaching their target weights.
