AMAZING Ashley Noble (38) of
Macduff is feeling and looking
“flab-u-less’ after losing three
stones with Slimming World in
Banff.
Things for Ashley came to a
head at the end of last year when
she felt at an all-time low about
her weight and decided enough
was enough.
Along with feeling really
unhappy about the way she
looked, Ashley dreaded going
shopping for new clothes so was
turning down invtations to social
events, was short of breath and
felt ashamed and guilty at not
having the energy to do the things
she wanted to as a mum with her
three young sons.
After struggling with her weight
for almost 13 years, Ashley took
the bull by the horns in January
and walked nervously in the
door of her local Slimming World
group and, since that first night,
hasn’t looked back.
Nine months into her journey,
Ashley has transformed her life
and her eating habits with the
support of everyone at her local
Slimming World group and feels
sensational!
She has much more confidence
and finally feels good about
herself. “I feel smarter, fitter
and, most importantly, so
much healthier and happy,” she
declared.
Ashley also suffers from
asthma and, since losing the
weight, her persistent cough has
gone. Feeling much fitter, she
now feels ready to go back to her
exercise classes and has a new
bounce in her step without ever
feeling hungry or deprived.
“In the past, I’ve tried other
weight-loss methods but none of
them fitted with me and my busy
family life and so I could never
stick to them,” Ashley recalled.
“Why didn’t I find Slimming
World sooner?”
Now a trim three dress sizes
smaller, she is enjoying life as she
always imagined it to be.
”I’m running about and
playing with my kids without
getting out of breath or having
to sit down and watch from
the sidelines and, now, clothes
shopping no longer fills me with
fear. It’s now a fun day out with
my mum or friends.”
Now close to her target weight,
Ashley loves how her husband
and kids not only have their
gorgeous wife and mum back,
they have all effortlessly picked
up her good eating habits and
the whole family sits down and
enjoys all their family favourites
– prawn curry, shepherds pie and
traditional roast beef, gravy with
Yorkshire puddings and all the
trimmings on a Sunday. Ashley
says she still meets up with pals
for a coffee and cake and enjoys a
few glasses of wine on a night out.
“Losing the weight has come
so effortlessly as I never miss out
on all the foods and treats I enjoy
and that, to me, has been key,”
she said.
“Going to group meetings and
having my ‘me’ time, sitting with
a cup of tea to relax, meeting
new friends, sharing support and
encouragement every week and
sharing tips and fab recipes is
fantastic and I love it,” she said.
“It wasn’t easy for me to walk
in the door on that first night and
seeing the fab results, for not just
me, but everybody else in group,
has kept me coming back, so
much so that I never miss a week
and when the chance came for
me to train as a consultant, I leapt
at it encouraged by the rest of the
group.
“I have just finished my
training and I’m very proud that,
as of this week, I will be the new
Slimming World consultant for
Banff.
“So if you would love to make
a change to the way you look
and feel in a supportive, fun
environment, why not come and
join us?”
