Sandra’s just a Diamond!
ASLIMMING class leader has been awarded the rare Diamond Coach status for the eighth time.
Sandra Hales has helped hundreds of residents in both and Ormskirk and Orrell towards a healthier lifestyle. Now she has been recognised for her outstanding service to Weight Watchers members in the community.
Last month, Sandra was awarded Weight Watchers Diamond Coach status at her Green Lane Guide HQ meeting in Ormskirk.
The award, which celebrates a coach’s exceptional support to their members during their s journey, is only given out to a select group of experts across the country.
Sandra continuously encourages her members to enjoy food with freedom, teaches them to adopt healthy eating habits and equips them with the skills to help shift their mindset on what really matters during their new healthy lifestyle and weight loss journey.
In 2017 alone, Sandra helped her members lose approximately 438 stones.
With a plan personalised to each member’s age, gender, body mass index and lifestyle, coach Sandra – who has been at her goal weight for 21 years – has been committed to helping every member achieve their goal.
Orrell meeting member Chris said Sandra’s accolade is very well deserved.
“Sandra is a real inspiration to me and the other members in our meeting. She always provides great tips, tricks and support to help us achieve our weight loss goals and develop healthier habits. I have lost 98lbs with Sandra and I’ve never felt better!”
After receiving the award for the eight time, Sandra said: “I’m so proud of my members and what they’ve achieved; it has been a fantastic year and to receive this award for doing something I love is amazing!
‘‘It’s great to see my members enjoying the food they love and jumping off the scales feeling happy.
“Unlike fad diets and quick fixes, Weight Watchers Flex is the most flexible and liveable programme ever.
‘‘It gives people more freedom to enjoy food after expanding its zero Points foods to a list of more than 200 delicious foods. No food is off-limits and you get even more flexibility by rolling over up to four unused SmartPoints a day!”
Sandra runs three meetings a week at Guide HQ in Ormskirk, St Lukes Church, Orrell as well as at Clifton street Community Centre in Wigan.
