🏆✨ CRAGHEAD’S 2026 WOMAN OF THE YEAR! ✨🏆
I honestly don’t think I could have chosen anyone more deserving… 🥹💚
Please join me in giving the BIGGEST congratulations to our incredible Kayleigh, who this week was crowned Craghead Slimming World Group’s 2026 WOMAN OF THE YEAR! 👑🎉
And if you’ve ever wondered what can happen when you finally decide to believe in yourself… THIS is it. ❤️
When Kayleigh first walked through our doors, she weighed 16st 4.5lb.
She was a busy mam of FOUR, working TWO jobs, 7 days a week, with life constantly on the go. Food had become about convenience crisps, toast, biscuits, grabbing whatever was easiest and finishing the kids’ leftovers. She would joke that she was “fat and happy” or “bulking up for winter”… but deep down, she knew she wasn’t happy at all. 💔
Then one morning, aching knees, feeling heavy and completely lacking motivation, she had a word with herself…
“Sort your life out.”
And she did. ❤️
She walked through our group doors, not knowing just how much her life was about to change.
Her first week? 4lb OFF! 🎉
And look at her now…
🔥 3 STONE 9.5LB LOST! 🔥
She is now only around 5LB away from her target weight! 😱👏
But honestly, the number on the scales is only a tiny part of why Kayleigh deserves this award.
Look at what she has changed…
✨ No more relying on fast food
✨ Meal prepping to stay on track
✨ Swapping crisps and biscuits for healthier choices
✨ Preparing breakfast the night before
✨ Taking lunches and snacks to work
✨ Walking everywhere and tackling that HUGE bank to Stanley rather than getting a taxi! 😂💪
✨ Setting herself targets and smashing them
✨ Learning to prioritise HERSELF
✨ And most importantly… learning to believe in herself ❤️
The girl who once struggled to see her own worth now openly talks about her journey, shares her experiences and supports other members.
And that confidence? WOW. 🥹
There have been harder weeks too, because this journey isn’t always easy. But Kayleigh didn’t quit. She reached out, she talked, she kept going and I was always there with the voice notes, calls and messages when she needed that extra bit of support.
Because that’s what our group is about.
You never have to do this alone. 💚
Kayleigh, I am SO unbelievably proud of you.
Not just for 3st 9.5lb…
But for the woman you have become along the way. ❤️
For your determination.
For your resilience.
For the example you are setting your four children.
For putting yourself back on your own priority list.
For proving to yourself that you CAN do this.
And for showing every single person sitting in our group that you don’t have to be perfect you just have to keep going. 🥹💚
You once walked through those doors hoping something would change…
YOU became the change. ✨
And now, as our 2026 CRAGHEAD WOMAN OF THE YEAR, I hope you realise just how incredibly special you are. 👑💚
Congratulations Kayleigh. You absolutely deserve this. 🥂🏆
And that target?
