Tina returned to the Slimming World group in Swanage after taking a break to begin using the weight-loss medication Mounjaro.
Since 2023, she has lost four stone.
Tina said: “The food noise reduced, the cravings weren’t there and I wasn’t snacking between meals anymore.

“But I also realised I wasn’t eating properly.
“I wasn’t focusing on having a healthy, balanced diet and I knew that wasn’t something I wanted long term.”
Encouraged by a friend, she returned to Slimming World for additional support and has since lost another stone, averaging around 1lb per week.
She said: “I wanted the accountability of group and the support to make sure I was looking after my health properly.
“I knew I needed to change my mindset and focus on eating a healthy, balanced diet.”
She said her story shows that while medication can help reduce hunger, building sustainable habits and learning how to eat well remain essential for long-term health and weight management.
