A thriving Slimming World group in Eaglesham is celebrating remarkable achievements after helping members lose an incredible 1,981lbs since opening its doors in September 2025.
Run by Slimming World Consultant Emma Johnston, the Eaglesham group has become one of the company’s standout success stories, achieving some of the highest weight losses across the organisation while supporting members to make lasting lifestyle changes.
The group, which meets every Monday at The Carswell Centre on Montgomery Street, has grown steadily thanks to its welcoming atmosphere, expert support and inspiring member success stories. To meet increasing demand, a new 5.30pm session has now been introduced alongside the existing 7pm group.
Since launching less than a year ago, the Eaglesham members have collectively lost an astonishing 1,981lbs, equivalent to more than 141 stone. During that time, 59 weight loss awards have been presented, recognising members’ dedication and commitment to achieving their goals.
Among the group’s many successes, one member achieved an outstanding 4½ stone weight loss in just five months, demonstrating the life-changing results that can be achieved with the support of Slimming World’s healthy eating and lifestyle programme.
Consultant’s Pride
Emma, who runs the group, said: “I am incredibly proud of every single member who walks through our doors each week. The achievements we’ve celebrated since opening in September have been nothing short of amazing. Watching members grow in confidence, improve their health and reach goals they once thought were impossible is the most rewarding part of what I do.
“Losing 2½ stone so far myself, I completely understand members’ mindsets and struggles on a weight loss journey. I truly believe it’s what helps me support people to lose weight since I can empathise myself.
“The introduction of our new 5.30pm session means even more people in Eaglesham and the surrounding areas can access the support, encouragement and motivation that our members enjoy every week. Whether someone wants to lose a few pounds or several stone, they’ll receive a warm welcome and all the tools they need to succeed.”
