KEEP FIT Get healthy with Slimming World

DID you know that 62% of adults in Ireland are currently overweight or obese? There has never been a more crucial time to tackle this challenging health problem. Slimming World are celebrating their 50th anniversary this year and have been helping Irish men & women to lose weight and stay slim for life for almost 10 years.

Meet two local consultants who have teamed up at Eire Og GAA Club, Greystones to support people in Greystones and the surrounding area to lose weight and get healthy once and for all in 2019.

Patrica Byrne, a typical yo-yo dieter, lost 2 stone on her own journey with Slimming World. After breaking her leg and being told by doctors she may never walk again, she summoned up the courage to join her local Slimming World group and with the support and encouragement of like minded members & her consultant, she reached her target, remaining completely mobile thanks in part due to her weight loss. Three and a half years ago, she went on to become a consultant herself and currently has groups in Kilcoole & Greystones.

Penny Roche joined Slimming World in 2014 after seeing an unflattering photo of herself at a friend’s wedding. Having tried all sorts of diets over the years with limited success, she had heard amazing things about the Slimming World plan and decided that this was it....she had to tackle her weight once and for all. Amazed and delighted at how easy Food Optimising was, she went on to lose over 6 stone, while never ‘dieting’ or going hungry. She became a consultant herself in 2017 with her group Greystones.

Patricia and Penny are living proof that the Slimming World Food Optimising Plan is THE easiest and most delicious way to lose weight. “We eat all our favourite meals like curry & chips, burgers, lasagne and it works beautifully with our families too, who all enjoy the same food.” If you are looking to find out more or join one of their groups, you will find these inspiring ladies at Eire Og Gaa Club, Mill Road, Greystones on Tuesday evenings at 5.30 & 7.30pm, Wednesday mornings at 9.30 & 11.30am and Wednesday evening at 7.30pm.
