SUPER slimmer Helen Ward has lost 5st 7lbs to reach her Personal Achievement target since joining Slimming World in January 2008.

She said: “When I walked through the doors at Slimming World I really didn’t think that my weight loss dreams could come true.

When my consultant, Lulu asked me what I would love to lose, I never imagined it would be possible.

I learnt that I could still enjoy normal everyday foods including pasta, rice and potatoes by following Slimming World’s Food Optimising plan and I could eat as much as I wanted to fill me up.

“Since losing weight I have lots more energy and love walking.

"Just moving a little more than usual all counts!

"If anyone is thinking of joining Slimming World this January I would just say "go for it!"

"You can absolutely do it.

"The belief the group showed in me was amazing.

"I instantly knew there was no need to be scared.

"Now I’m a target member I attend group each week for free.

"I love to go along to get tips, motivation and support.

To join Lulu’s Slimming World group which is held every Saturday at 9am at the Crediton Arts Centre - either pop along or give Lulu a call on 07727 693099.
