Woman Loses Four Stone and Celebrates by Paragliding

Caroline Woosnam, a 60-year-old from Tuffley, Gloucester, has achieved a remarkable transformation by shedding four stone, completely changing her life. Once feeling destined to battle with her weight forever, Caroline found new hope and vitality through Slimming World. Now, she’s channeling her success into a rewarding new career as a Slimming World consultant, determined to help others reach their weight loss goals.

Working at a petrol station, Caroline recently completed her consultant training and is excited to launch her own Slimming World group in Gloucester. Her journey reached a thrilling milestone when she celebrated her weight loss by paragliding—an adventure she never imagined possible before.

“When I first joined Slimming World, I never expected I’d be supporting others, but now it feels like a true privilege,” Caroline shared. “Losing four stone and gaining confidence has been life-changing. It’s not just about changing how you eat; becoming active at your own pace is vital. I even joined a gym, which was unimaginable for me before.”

Caroline’s story is one of perseverance. Having tried many diets before, she found Slimming World offered a fresh perspective—no restrictive starving diets but a plan filled with satisfying, tasty foods like diet cola chicken, salmon, new potatoes, and plenty of vegetables. “I never felt hungry or like I was missing out,” she explained.

She emphasizes the power of support in her journey. “The encouragement and understanding from my Consultant and group made all the difference. Knowing you’re not alone is key to success. Having lost weight myself, I understand the challenges and will be there to guide every member through theirs. We share recipes, ideas, and celebrate every success together.”

Caroline’s Slimming World group meets every Tuesday at 6 pm at Old Cryptians Rugby Club. Interested individuals can join her on June 24th or contact her at 07748 303500 to start their own journey toward a healthier life.
