I became my Slimming World group’s Woman of the Year after losing five stone
A South Shields Slimming World group has helped a lady transform her weight.
Kate Morris is celebrating rediscovering her confidence, self-belief, and pride after she joined Slimming World and lost five stone in the process.
The 29-year-old started her weight loss journey at the Slimming World group at South Shields Indoor Bowls, on Horsley Hill Road, in January 2025 in order to “feel like herself again”.
Over the course of the year, Kate showed consistency and determination to transform her weight and eventually was named ‘Woman of the Year’.
Sharon Simpson, Kate’s Slimming World consultant, has praised her for her efforts reaching her target weight over the course of 2025.
She said: “The journey wasn’t easy.
“Kate openly acknowledges the struggles she’s faced with her weight and body image, making this achievement all the more meaningful.
“Week after week, she kept going, and in doing so, surprised even herself.
“That perseverance was recognised when she was named Woman of the Year, a moment that marked just how far she had come.
“For Kate, reaching target isn’t the end of the story, it’s proof of what’s possible with support, resilience, and self-belief.
“Her journey stands as an inspiring reminder that change doesn’t happen overnight, but when you show up for yourself consistently, extraordinary things can happen.”
