Lillian celebrates 25 years helping others
A Washington great grandm o t h e r i s c e l eb rat i n g a n impressive milestone after spending a quarter of a century helping and supporting others on their weight loss journey.
L i l l i a n D r u m m o n d , 74 , joined Slimming World in the mid 1990s when she decided she needed to lose some weight.
And after shedding five stone on their programme, she decided to help others and became a consultant in September 1995.
Over the course of 25 years, Lillian has helped countless people improve their health and self confidence through
Slimming World – and says she has loved every minute of it.
Now, a quarter of a century later, Lillian is reflecting on
her time supporting various groups but has no desire to stop just yet.
She said: “If you had told me when I first joined I’d still be doing this 25 years later I would have never believed you. I suppose it’s just because I simply enjoy helping others. Over the years I’ve seen some amazing results and seen how lives can change for the better.
"I have no plans for slowing down. I want to continue doing this and continue helping people until my body stops letting me.”
Du r i n g h e r 2 5 yea r s a s a consultant, former office worker Lillian has seen Slimming World move from paper, to digital, to virtual classes earlier this year during the coronavirus lockdown.
L i l l i a n , wh o i s a g re atg r a n d m o t h e r, r u n s h e r classes every week at the Millenium Centre in Washington and currently has over 150 members on her books.
