CREDITON slimming expert, Lulu Couchman, says aiming high and getting support is the key to success.

Lulu, is urging people who are starting a weight loss programme this month to have faith in aiming for their ideal weight, after a study found that people who set ambitious targets lose almost twice as much weight in 12 months.

As a Slimming World Consultant at the Crediton Arts Centre group, Lulu, is preparing for a busy January as many people vow to turn their New Year’s resolutions to make this the year that they achieve their dream weight.

She said: “All new members choose their own target weight when they join.

"We know how much more motivating it is when you’re aiming for a weight you dream to be rather than a weight you’re told you should be or think is easily achievable.

"The Group is about support, care, encouragement and fun – and I firmly believe that’s why we regularly see members achieve their weight loss dreams too."

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.
