SUPER SLIMMERS GET IN GREAT SHAPE
Hard work pays off
Members of Rutherglen and Cambuslang slimming groups have got a weight off their minds recently.
Figures have revealed they lost 3.948 stones in weight over the last 12 months – the equivalent of 15 average family sized cars.
The Slimming World members, who attend groups every week, followed an eating plan created by the organisation’s team of expert nutritionists called ‘food optimising’, which encourages them to fill up on satisfying foods such as pasta, rice, potatoes, lean meat and fish.
Member Colette Stephen lost three stone to drop from a size 16 to a size eight, and has just trained to become a Slimming World consultant herself.
She said: “Filling up on lots of satisfying foods means you’re never hungry so I never felt as though I was on a diet.
“Before I joined Slimming World I thought losing weight meant going to the gym and counting calories.
“But now I know it’s about making healthier choices about food and becoming more active.
The other consultants, all of whom are from the local area, are Yvonne Boyd, Lynn Hughes, Kirsty Gibson, Chris Johnston, Aleksandra Lennon and Helen McGregor.
Local Slimming World manager Carrina McGovern said: “I’m delighted that our members have lost weight so beautifully.
“It has made a big difference to their lives and to their whole families’ lives, and all of them are happier and healthier now. Slimming has never been more important. Approximately 65 per cent of adults in Scotland are classed as overweight or obese, and our team of Consultants just want to help even more people.”
