Slimming World
Slimming World can change your life, have positive effects on your mental health and increase your confidence.
Local groups can be found throughout Dundee. The groups engage with each member, make it personal for you and support you on the journey to living a healthier life.
One of Slimming World’s success stories is that of 39-year-old single mum, Kelly Jolly. She was battling her health struggles while caring for her very sick child dealing with lymphoblastic leukaemia cancer at just five years old.
Visiting her local Slimming World class headed by group leader Stella Young, Kelly joined her welcoming group to start her journey to better health and fitness.
Through hard work and commitment, and with the support of her group leader and other members, Kelly has now lost over nine stone, which was more than half of her body weight.
