On October 15, 2008, Lesley Edwards opened the doors to her Slimming World group in Dogsthorpe. From that very first session, she dedicated herself wholeheartedly to helping people transform their lives.

Over the past 17 years, Lesley has been instrumental in guiding thousands of members to achieve their dream target weights, building not just a group, but a true community of support, encouragement, and friendship.

Lesley’s warmth, determination, and unwavering belief in her members have made her a much-loved figure in Dogsthorpe. Her group has been a place where goals were celebrated, challenges were overcome, and lifelong habits were built.

Now, after years of inspiring others, Lesley has taken the brave and heartfelt decision to retire, choosing to spend more precious time with her family. While her presence will be deeply missed, her legacy will continue to shine through the lives she has touched and the community she has nurtured.

We wish Lesley every happiness in her retirement and thank her for the incredible impact she has made.

And for members old and new—rest assured, the Dogsthorpe Slimming World group will continue to thrive in the same place, at the same time, under the guidance of Consultant Debbie Harris, who is ready to carry forward the spirit and success that Lesley built.
