Margaret Miles-Bramwell's death comes just weeks after she was named one of the most influential people in the UK
A weight-loss boss who lived her life with a "generous spirit" and "passionate conviction" has been remembered fondly following her death aged 76.
Back in November, the brand said it had 3,500 consultants across the UK and more than 700,000 members, showing the impact Margaret - who remained chairperson until her death - still had on people, 56 years after founding Slimming World. Speaking on January 16 after being named in Top 100's list, Margaret, who was raised in South Normanton, said: "I’m truly honoured to be recognised in this way.
Since 1969, Margaret has supported millions of people – and their families - to lose weight with a revolutionary and flexible eating plan and a highly-developed group support system to facilitate healthy changes in behaviour for long-term success, as well as a popular app. In 2009, she was awarded an OBE for both her services to slimmers across the country, as well as for the company's work for charity - having raised more than £2 million at the time.
She added: "Seeing people achieve their weight loss goals really does make it the best job. I have made so many friends along the way, and I will look back on those difficult years now with a new mindset, knowing they made a stronger me. Even though I am a new consultant, I will still continue to attend my group. They are the most supportive, beautiful people in my life and I couldn’t have done it without them.
John said that the support he found at his Slimming World group was key to his success - something that would never have been possible without Margaret's lasting impact. Slimming World confirmed the tragic news of her death on Sunday, February 3, prompting an outpouring of grief.
