From struggle to strength: local women inspire weight-loss success

Thu, Sep 04, 2025

In a culture that often favours quick fixes over lasting change, two local women, Tanith O’Brien and Susan Grehan, are proving that real transformation stems from belief in yourself, supportive networks, and the right tools. Together, they’ve lost more than 10.5 stone through Slimming World in less than a year — and have now trained as consultants to guide others on their journeys to health and confidence.

For Tanith, the decision to join Slimming World was about more than weight loss. Facing mobility struggles, pre-diabetes, perimenopause, and declining self-esteem, she sought a way to rediscover herself. A full-time carer to two beautiful daughters, she found not just a food plan but also a community. The results have been life-changing: now 6 stone 2lbs lighter, she no longer needs blood pressure medication, her blood sugars are back to normal, and her energy has transformed. Remarkably, she has even taken up running — once unthinkable. Her message is simple yet powerful: “You are worth it.”
