A REDDITCH woman has been dubbed a ‘double diamond’ for her work in helping residents of Redditch and Bromsgrove lose more than 500 stone in one year.
Debbie Onions, from Riverside, has helped thousands of Redditch residents towards a healthier weight and lifestyle over the last 15 years – and this month Debbie was awarded Weight Watchers Diamond Coach status.
Debbie was presented with her award at her meeting in Oakenshaw Community Centre this week but it is extra special for Debbie because it’s the second time she has been selected for her outstanding service to Weight Watchers members in the area.
The award, which celebrates coaches who have provided exceptional support to their members during their weight loss journey, is only given out once every two years to a select group of Weight Watchers experts across the country, and Debbie said: “It’s a very unique job and I absolutely love it. “I’m so proud of my members and what they’ve achieved. It has been a fantastic year and to receive this award for doing something I love is amazing.
“Research shows that with Weight Watchers meetings and online tools, you could lose up to seven times more weight than on your own and I’m looking forward to continuing to prove that stat right.”
54 year-old Debbie joined Weight Watchers first as a member and quickly became part of the team as a way of keeping her weight down.
She is currently the only Weight Watchers coach in the area and runs eight meetings a week in Redditch and Bromsgrove.
