‘Cut above the rest’ - Hairdresser loses weight with the help of a South Shields Slimming World group
A local hairdresser than dropped more than three stone with a South Shields Slimming World group.
Janet Simpson, 53, has transformed her weight by losing three-and-a-half stone with the help of a Slimming World group at the South Shields Indoor Bowls, on Horsley Hill Road.
Being a busy hairdresser, Janet works long hours and takes irregular breaks, which led to the temptation of quick fixes for food.
However she decided to not let her schedule define her and took control of her eating to the point where she has become a ‘Target Member’ at Slimming World.


Sharon Simpson, a Slimming World consultant, has praised Janet for the changes that she has made when it comes to managing her weight.
She said: “Janet has done so well, she looks amazing and has received some fabulous health benefits too.
“Her confidence shines just as brightly as the smiles she gives her clients, and her energy is a testament to what consistency and support can achieve.
“What makes Janet’s journey especially inspiring is how she’s embraced change beyond the scales.
“Socialising, once something that could feel tricky when trying to make healthier choices, has become a source of empowerment rather than pressure.
“Janet has learned that enjoying time with friends doesn’t have to mean compromising her goals — it’s about balance, confidence and making choices that truly work for her.
“We are so proud of you, Janet. You really are a cut above the rest.”
