Mo Dodd, a Slimming World Consultant in Bangor and Menai Bridge, lost six stone and transformed her life and she is now dedicating her time to helping others with their weight loss journeys.

“I never imagined I’d be the one writing this story,” says Mo, the Slimming World consultant for Bangor and Menai Bridge. “A little over two years ago, I weighed over 16 stone, was chronically unwell, and couldn’t leave the house without help. Now, I’m 10 stone 3 pounds and helping others achieve the same life-changing success I did.”

Mo’s journey began during one of the most challenging chapters of her life. Chronic ill health left her wheelchair-bound and, at times, bed-bound. She rarely left the house, struggling with confidence and feelings of isolation. “My only connection to the outside world was through the internet. It was the one place I felt safe—where no one could see me. Having my husband as my carer was a source of embarrassment, even though I was incredibly grateful for his support.”

Diets hadn’t worked for her in the past; they left her starving, miserable, and feeling like failure was inevitable. “When I read about Slimming World, I couldn’t believe it could work. You’re telling me I can eat real food and still lose weight? I was skeptical, but also desperate. I decided to attend a group, even though I was terrified.”

That first group session was eye-opening for her. “I saw people who were genuinely happy, eating satisfying meals, and celebrating real results. I thought, ‘Okay, if they can do it, maybe I can too.’ I filled my plate with free foods (which are unlimited on the Slimming World plan), trusted the process, and by the end of my first week, I’d lost 6 pounds!”

The weeks that followed brought not just weight loss, but also a transformation in confidence and mindset. “Being surrounded by people on the same journey made all the difference. It wasn’t just about losing weight; it was about learning to love food again, without fear.”

Now, she uses her own success to inspire others. In September 2023, Mo became a Slimming World consultant. “Slimming World is for real people, eating real food, and getting real results. I knew I had to share that message with as many people as possible, which is why I started my groups in Bangor and Menai Bridge.”

However, there’s still work to be done. “Did you know that 62% of the Welsh population is overweight or obese? That’s more than half of us. There are so many people who need to know that losing weight doesn’t have to mean going hungry or feeling miserable.”

So, what’s her message to someone who might be where she was two years ago? 

“COME TO SLIMMING WORLD. This could be the key to your success. If you’ve tried everything else and nothing has worked, give this a chance. It worked for me, and I’ll be here to cheer you on every step of the way.”
