SUPER slimmers in Michelle Kemp’s group in Matchborough have lost a whopping 56.5 stone in weight.
The 100+ members, who attend the group every week, follow Slimming World’s Food Optimising eating plan which encourages them to fill up on satisfying foods such as pasta, rice, potatoes, lean meat and fish, pulses and fruit and veg.
Michele Hayward has lost 1st 2lbs to drop a dress size. She said: “Before I joined Slimming World I thought losing weight meant going to the gym and counting calories. But now I know it’s about making healthier choices about food and becoming a bit more active.
“Reaching this milestone as a group just proves the huge change we’ve all made to our lives.
It’s brilliant to celebrate together as well because that’s how we’ve been losing weight – together. Every week we support and encourage each other and share tips and recipes, and on top of that we have a lot of fun.
“The support and inspiration we get from Michelle has also been integral to our success. Because she’s lost weight herself, she understands the ups and downs of slimming and can offer us help and advice based on her own experience, without her I don’t think we’d have achieved nearly as much.”
Michelle said: “Slimming has never been more important. There are 65.9% overweight and obese adults in Redditch and I just want to help even more people to make real changes for life – there’s no better job satisfaction than that.”
Michelle’s group is held at Christ Church every Wednesday at 5.15pm and 7.15pm. For more information or to join call Michelle on 07557 522365.
