Height: 5ft 5ins Starting weight: 13st Weight now: 9st 1½lbs WEIGHT LOST: 3st 12½lbs Caroline attends Linda Blair’s Slimming World group in Tidworth at the Community Centre. As I walked into a Slimming World group for the first time, my nerves were jangling. My daughter, Effie, was four months old and I felt ready to get back into my pre-baby clothes. I was so fed up with wearing baggy, shapeless outfits – but would I feel comfortable trying to lose weight alongside a load of strangers? I’d been eight months pregnant when I’d moved to Devon with my husband, Matt, who is in the Army. My friends and family were hundreds of miles away and, feeling lonely, I’d been comforting myself with daily cream teas and cake. Now, as my bubbly Consultant Lisa chatted away during her welcome talk, I listened, then said: ‘Hang on, are you telling me I can eat pasta, rice and potatoes and still lose weight?’ She nodded. ‘Sign me up!’ I replied. Everyone started laughing and, suddenly, my nerves began to ease. We were all in the same boat and this was going to be so much easier than losing weight on my own. My only worry was whether I could fit the plan around a baby. That night, I planned my dinners for the next week and wrote a shopping list. I remembered what Lisa had said in group and I bought everything I needed to healthier versions of all my favourite rice, potato and pasta dishes. Before, I’d always seen my big appetite as my downfall. So it took a bit of a leap of faith to fill my plate – could eating hearty meals really help me slim? I swapped oil for low-calorie cooking spray, used sweetener instead of sugar, cut the fat off all my meat and made sure I filled at least a third of my plate with salad or veggies. One of the biggest surprises was finding that cooking from scratch wasn’t as time-consuming as I’d imagined. Instead of skipping breakfast, I waited until Effie was napping, then cooked scrambled eggs with grilled lean bacon and two slices of wholemeal toast. If I was in a rush to get to a baby group, I filled my handbag with apples and tangerines, then had a proper meal afterwards, like a jacket potato with a portion of cheese and a bowl of home-made soup packed with veg. In my first week, I lost 3½lbs. Matt loved the meals we were trying and wanted to take a turn as head chef. From then on, Matt’s ‘Spag Bol Fridays’ were born. Other nights, I’d cook: cottage pie, chilli and rice… or salmon with home-made coleslaw and Slimming World chips. The number on the scales continued moving in the right direction and the group kept my motivation firing. All my past attempts at slimming had made me feel tired, anxious and trapped – whether I was spending hundreds of pounds on weight loss supplements, crash dieting, or just eating less and feeling miserable. Now I was cooking nutritious meals that I really enjoyed – and I reached my target of 10st 7lbs in May 2014. The first thing I did was head out shopping. Gone were the mumsy clothes I’d lived in since Effie was born. Being slim completely changed my morning routine. Instead of feeling stressed about what to wear, I just pulled something out of the wardrobe and slipped it on – from a selection of size-12 skinny jeans, pretty tops and fashionable dresses. I was feeling great about myself and I wanted it to stay that way. So when we moved to Tidworth in Wiltshire, I joined the local Slimming World group where I was warmly welcomed by my new Consultant, Tracey, and the other members. Just weeks later, I had some surprising news…I was pregnant. Matt and I were so excited. I had just one small worry. ‘I feel so proud of losing this weight, Matt,’ I said. ‘What if I put it all back on?’ With his encouragement, I mentioned it to my midwife. Knowing that Slimming World works with the Royal College of Midwives, she said she’d be happy for me to follow Slimming World’s guidelines for mums-to-be. Next, I had a chat with Tracey, who gave me guidance on how to continue eating healthily when pregnant. Just like before, I could eat to satisfy my appetite and, I was mindful of including some fish and filling up on a varied diet with lots of salad, fruit and greens. My midwife was delighted with my iron levels, 2 as well as my steady and sensible weight gain. I felt brimming with health and really enjoyed my pregnancy. Our son, Gene, arrived just before Christmas 2014 and I couldn’t wait to show him off to Tracey and the other members. After a lovely Christmas, I took him along to group with me to find out my post-baby weight. When I stepped on the scales, I couldn’t believe it – I’d lost 17lbs. Tracey turned to me and said: ‘Caroline, take a bow.’ And as I did, the room erupted into applause. I couldn’t stop the tears from flowing and neither could my friends. I’d just had a gorgeous, healthy little boy and I felt better than ever. With Tracey’s support, I set myself a new target of 9st. I wasn’t going to put any pressure on myself, but I was excited by the thought of maybe being a size 10 one day. Just shy of five months later, with my baby fast asleep in his buggy next to me, surrounded by my friends at my group, I learned I’d reached my new target. With a toddler and a new baby in tow, I hit the shops. I didn’t have time to try things on, and came home with bags and bags of clothes. When I put them on to show Matt, he couldn’t help but laugh at how big they looked. I realised my mind hadn’t caught up with my new, slimmer body. I went back and swapped everything for the next size down, which fitted me perfectly. Before joining Slimming World, fashion had been about what disguised my shape – now I was just choosing whatever I liked the look of! With my confidence soaring, I posted my weight loss transformation on Instagram and dozens of messages pinged through. One girl said: If I can do half of what you’ve done, joining will be worth it. I sent her pictures of my meals, showing her how much I was eating, and she joined straight away. We kept in touch and she’s since lost 7st! Then something happened to bring more happiness into our lives – I was expecting again. This time, I knew I had all the tools I needed to get back to target once our new baby boy arrived. When I was six months along, we moved to Warminster and I joined another Slimming World group.

  • Addendum to School Places Strategy 2017-2022 – Explanation of the Differences Between Wiltshire Community Areas and Wiltshire School Planning Areas
    Addendum to School Places Strategy 2017-2022 – Explanation of the differences between Wiltshire Community Areas and Wiltshire School Planning Areas This document should be read in conjunction with the School Places Strategy 2017 – 2022 and provides an explanation of the differences between the Wiltshire Community Areas served by the Area Boards and the School Planning Areas. The Strategy is primarily a school place planning tool which, by necessity, is written from the perspective of the School Planning Areas. A School Planning Area (SPA) is defined as the area(s) served by a Secondary School and therefore includes all primary schools in the towns and surrounding villages which feed into that secondary school. As these areas can differ from the community areas, this addendum is a reference tool to aid interested parties from the Community Area/Area Board to define which SPA includes the schools covered by their Community Area. It is therefore written from the Community Area standpoint. Amesbury The Amesbury Community Area and Area Board covers Amesbury town and surrounding parishes of Tilshead, Orcheston, Shrewton, Figheldean, Netheravon, Enford, Durrington (including Larkhill), Milston, Bulford, Cholderton, Wilsford & Lake, The Woodfords and Great Durnford. It encompasses the secondary schools The Stonehenge School in Amesbury and Avon Valley College in Durrington and includes primary schools which feed into secondary provision in the Community Areas of Durrington, Lavington and Salisbury. However, the School Planning Area (SPA) is based on the area(s) served by the Secondary Schools and covers schools in the towns and surrounding villages which feed into either The Stonehenge School in Amesbury or Avon Valley College in Durrington.

    COVID-19 COMMUNITY GROUPS DIRECTORY updated 13 August 2020 1 DM20_295 ONLINE INTRODUCTION The communities of Wiltshire have risen to the challenge of COVID-19 to make sure people are supported through this very difficult time. The council has collated all the community groups we have identified so far so that those who need support for themselves or a loved one can make direct contact.

The council wants to ensure that everybody can access the support they need. If you make contact with a group and they cannot help or you do not get a response within the required timeframe, then please do not hesitate to contact the council by emailing [email protected] and we will ensure you get the support you need.

    Results of the National Childhood Measurement Programme for Wiltshire 2016 School Year Welcome We are delighted to be presenting this report on the results of the National Child Measurement Programme (NCMP) for Wiltshire as this year has seen a reduction in our local levels of excess weight in childhood. As one of the statutory public health functions of the council, the NCMP provides vital information on levels of childhood obesity that is used to inform service provision and enables us to monitor our progress in tackling obesity.
