Member Spotlight – Meet the fabulous Lynda Grigg
Lynda joined Sandra Kirkham’s Slimming World Preesall group back in February this year — and since then, she’s lost almost 4 stone
Before joining, Lynda was struggling with her weight, high blood pressure, pre-diabetes, hip problems and breathlessness. She says “just about everything wasn’t good.” That was the turning point — she knew something had to change. And walking through those doors to join Slimming World turned out to be the best decision she ever made!
Lynda loves that she can eat ‘normal’ food and still lose weight. Once she got her head around Food Optimising, she found it so easy to follow — and loves that she can still enjoy her favourite Slimming World meals from Iceland when life gets busy.
The hardest part for Lynda was walking into group for the first time, but she was welcomed so warmly by Sandra and everyone there that now she looks forward to every Thursday!
Since losing weight, life has completely changed. Her walking has improved, she’s more active, and her confidence has soared. On a recent trip to Blackpool Tower, she climbed right to the top — something she could never have imagined doing before. She even stood on the glass floor and took in the incredible views taking photos!
Lynda also attended a glamorous work event at the Tower, wearing a stunning dress she couldn’t fit into before - feeling confident, beautiful and “properly glammed up!”
Her weight loss has had a huge impact on her mental and physical health - she now feels amazing, full of energy, and loves living life to the fullest. At a recent family wedding, she danced the night away - something she simply couldn’t have done before her journey began.
One of Lynda’s favourite hobbies is sea dipping, and her lovely dipping friends have noticed the difference too! She’s no longer puffed out climbing the steps, and their support has meant the world to her.
As her Consultant, Sandra couldn’t be prouder of everything Lynda has achieved. Every certificate and award brings a huge smile - and her story inspires everyone in group. So much so that she was voted our 5.30pm Woman of the Year 2025!
Lynda even brought in her old work trousers to show just how far she’s come - and the whole group couldn’t stop cheering!
