Super slimmer shares secrets after his six-stone weight loss

- SHIRLEY BARTYNEK

A Hamilton man has avoided knee surgery and achieved his dream weight after losing six stone.

And now Slimming World consultant Colin Macmillan, 62, is sharing top weight loss tips with people at his own slimming class in the town.

Colin had initially lost

4st 13lbs and fell in love with Slimming World, their company ethos and their Healthy Food Optimising lifestyle, and this led him to progress through into the consultant role in 1994.

He explained: “I knew I wanted to help others with their relationsh­ip and behavioura­l changes surroundin­g food, and activity”.

Colin has been a Slimming World consultant in the Hamilton team for 27 years and has helped many members achieve their dream.

Only recently, after becoming aware that his weight was slowly increasing and he was experienci­ng knee pain during activity, Colin made the decision to finish the journey he had started.

Colin said:“the knee pain was constant, and the operation planned, but I knew I had to take charge and focus on my own weight.

“I knew that returning to group I had nothing to fear, although I was apprehensi­ve being a consultant, and knew deep down that my colleague, Sharon Mcmullen, would welcome me in, as she does every new member, and that’s exactly what happened.

“I lost 9.5lbs in my first week and given Slimming World’s new research, I knew I could be successful and finally finish my journey.”

Colin’s knee pain has completely gone, he’s claimed all his Body Magic awards for activity and he’s gone from a size 48/50 waist to a 38/40 and from a four XL to XL in shirts.

Colin added: “Six stone gone for good and loving life. Slimming World is like my second family and if you want to lose weight don’t hesitate, do it now. Don’t put your life on hold.”
