Bourne groups incredible
weight losses B
ourne Slimming World members lost an incredible 1384 stone in 2019, the approximate equivalent of the four vehicles shown in the photo, kindly supplied by Anglia (UK) Ltd.
Members have reversed diabetes, improved mobility, started IVF treatment and even regulated heart conditions - all due to their incredible weight losses across the Bourne groups. Weight loss expert Dana Petherick, a Slimming World Consultant who runs the Monday evening group, says that if people want to lose weight for good this year then they need to walk through the doors of their local Slimming World group and soak up all of the support available to them. Dana, who lost 4 stone herself, says “As someone who had struggled with my weight for many years, I had tried lots of different diets in the past. Life would always get in the way at some point and I would go off track. It would knock my confidence and I would feel like a failure. Since Joining Slimming World, my outlook changed completely”. Tori Martin, who runs Tuesday morning and Thursday evening groups says “We are all human and the important thing is that we are able to forgive ourselves when we go off track and move on. Being a member of a Slimming World group offers amazing support, encouragement and friendship with likeminded people. The support of a group is so important, as
sharing problems and solutions with others helps you to pick yourself back up when things haven’t gone to plan and carry on with your weight loss journey”. Lesley Thornalley-Grey, the consultant for the Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning groups says “Joining your local group will allow you to realise how you can lose weight and still enjoy your favourite meals - even eating out isn’t a problem with Slimming World as nothing is off limits. You get meal ideas, recipe swaps and tonnes of motivation every single week in group. You are never on your own”. The Bourne groups, run by Dana, Tori and Lesley are open 52 weeks of the year - simply take a look at the Slimming World website to see which days and times suit you best.
