Some people have told me recently that I’m an inspiration. That’s a bit of a grandiose title for someone that up until a few months ago cared very little for the way he felt both physically and emotionally.

I’ve really just done what I should have done years ago but it wouldn’t have been possible until my friends helped me go to my local Slimming World group.

Losing the weight has been a tough run. There have been some blips along the way but the benefits literally outweigh the negatives. I feel healthier and stronger than I have done for a long while.

The important thing for me is the support that you get from the group and the consultant. Jennie has been absolutely amazing. She’s genuinely interested in you. In everyone. 

She wants to support you in your journey. She wants to know where you felt that you went wrong and always has a word of encouragement or an idea for the next week to bring it around and help get that loss back on track.

She’s inspired me and I have no doubt that she’ll be able to help you too. If you’re feeling like I was. Needing to shift a few pounds then why not join me and the gang at The Thornhill Church Centre at 7.30pm next Thursday.  If you can’t do Thursday, then there are sessions on a Wednesday too.
