Slimming World couple lose total of 8 stone together NANCY BEFORE
A couple who say sharing the same healthy foods enabled them to lose a combined weight of 8 stone without ever feeling hungry has helped to make them Couple of the Year 2017 at the Dedridge Slimming World Group based at the Lanthorn Community Centre.
Tom O’Connor who has lost 4 stone 7lbs, says:“When we first joined Slimming World we couldn’t believe how much food we could eat and still lose weight. Making small changes to the way we cooked our meals meant we could still enjoy all of our favourite meals.”
“Slimming World’s Food Optimising eating plan allows slimmer’s to satisfy their appetite on filling foods that are low in energy density like pasta, rice, potatoes, fruit and vegetables, lean meat, poultry, fish and more – meaning they need never go hungry and are free to enjoy a treat every now and then without feeling guilty.
“We enjoy spending time in the kitchen together and love sharing our new recipes with family and friends – they taste so good and people can never believe we can eat all the food we do and lose weight. As we’ve lost weight we’ve enjoyed being more active too, which means we do more together like getting out and about and enjoying long walks.”
Nancy who is 3 stone 3lbs lighter since joining Slimming World, says: “In March 2016 recently retired having spent 20 years sitting behind a desk/wheel of car we were grossly unfit and overweight we decided to join Slimming World. Tom was very apprehensive thinking slimming groups were mainly for females but much to his surprise he found the group very welcoming and motivational. Kirsty has been very helpful and thanks to her and support from the class before the end of 2016 we were 8 stone lighter, healthier and fitter.”
In fact, it was the couple’s fellow slimmers who voted for them to represent the Dedridge Slimming World group in the Couple of the Year 2017 competition.
Kirsty Brown, who runs the Dedridge Slimming World group, says:“Tom and Nancy are living proof that slimmer’s are more successful when they lose weight together and get support and motivation from others along their journey. Seeing Tom and Nancy’s weight come down week after week has been a joy. They’re a real inspiration to the rest of the group, including me. I hope they’ll inspire everyone in Livingston area too.”
