Two members of a local Slimming World have celebrated success. 

Charlotte Troup dropped the equivalent of a bag of spuds and posed for a picture beside one to celebrate. In 25 weeks, Charlotte shed 3 stone.

On the secret to her success, she said that: “My meals haven’t changed much, but I have discovered so many foods that I never thought I’d eat. I’ve always struggled with fruit and veg, but I’m finding more and more ways to enjoy them every week. Small changes to ingredients in my favourite meals means I can still enjoy them, and lose weight.”

Phill Earl lost 1 and a half stone in 12 weeks. The local husband and dad joined the Rockwell Green Slimming World group with his wife.

Together they were determined to reach their target wights – a feat Phil pulled off in just three months. 

On the benefits of the weight loss Phil said: “My clothes are fitting better, I have more energy and I love feeling confident in maintaining a healthy lifestyle! Not only that, but it’s fitting in with the whole family, and we still enjoy family favourites every day including bacon and egg sandwiches for breakfast, and a warming Chilli for dinner”.
