A WOMAN who has been a pillar of healthy living in Chard has celebrated 30 years as a Slimming World consultant.
Jenny Curtis, who celebrated the milestone on May 11, stepped into the role in 1994 and has witnessed countless transformations, not just physical, but in confidence and overall well-being.
She said: "It all started with my own weight loss journey.
"Slimming World helped me develop a healthy relationship with food, and I knew I wanted to share that with others."
Over the years, Jenny’s Chard Slimming World groups have become a cornerstone of the community.
She also said: "It's not just about the scales.
"We celebrate every milestone, big or small. It's a supportive environment where people can share their struggles and successes without judgment."
The approach Jenny champions resonates with members.
Sarah, a long-time member, said: "Jenny creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
"Her guidance goes beyond food – she encourages us to be active and make sustainable changes."
Jenny has seen the landscape of weight loss evolve. She added: "The focus has shifted to a more balanced approach.
"We enjoy delicious, healthy meals without feeling deprived.
"I'm excited to continue empowering people in Chard to reach their goals and embrace a healthier lifestyle."
If you're looking for a supportive environment to kickstart your weight loss journey, Jenny’s Slimming World groups welcome all.
Contact details for the group can be found on the Slimming World website.
