A CREDITON Slimming World Consultant is celebrating a successful first year helping members lose 172st between them.

Lulu Couchman has been running the Saturday morning sessions since last September and said it was "amazing" to see people in her group achieve their goals.

Lulu became a weight loss consultant after dropping three stone herself.

She said: "To see so many people achieve their weight loss goals and to gain so much more off those scales with added confidence, self belief and to reclaim so much more in life has been fabulous."

Lulu puts the impressive weight loss of 2,410 pounds to her members motivating, planning and following the weight loss groups Food Optimising plan.

Lulu added: "With a 20 per cent increase in weight losses over the past 12 months and a group that has grown from 19 to 50 members, who know what’s in store for the future."

The group meets every Saturday morning at 9am in the Arts Centre and Lulu can be contacted on 07727 693099 for more information.
