Ben Muscroft lost 15st 8lbs and is Slimming World’s Man of the Year 2019

Life was tough without me even
realising it was tough to be honest. I had difficulty rolling over in bed,
but I just thought that was natural. I had difficulty bending down
to put my shoelaces on, and my work was a nightmare. I couldn’t walk five minutes to
Hillsborough from my house. But I just thought this was all
natural because I was big. The Great Wall of China – amazing,
world icon – can’t wait to get there. The minute I got there,
I took one look at the steps and thought ‘I’m not
gonna make it up them’. So I officially have been
to the Great Wall of China but I couldn’t walk on any of it,
which is such a shame. My dad and sister asked me for
years to go to Slimming World and I kept putting it off and eventually
they managed to get me down and that first weigh-in I lost 10lbs,
and never looked back Everyone was super-friendly,
Christine’s an amazing Consultant, really made me feel at home. And I’ve just met a
bunch of, I’d say friends but they’re more like family aren’t
they, Slimming World members? the best thing about
Slimming World’s food plan it’s just varied and wide, and
it is tasty. It’s not just salads. You can have whatever you want. The only limitation is
your imagination really. Body Magic has played an amazing
part in my weight loss journey, like I say, I couldn’t walk
for more than five minutes and then I started walking every day,
getting further and further and further, and that started adding to a little
bit of running involved as well, now I run every day,
I do weights, I do yoga. Slimming World has changed my life
so much, not just health benefits, the way I feel, but because like
I said, I’d given up on love I thought nobody would ever like me. So to find Karen, amazing honestly. If somebody was thinking about joining
Slimming World and losing weight, Do it. Don’t talk about it, because
you’ll do it for 20 years like I did. It’s the best decision I’ve ever made
and I wish I had done it 20 years ago. Get to it, get to Slimming World.
