A group of Slimming World Consultants celebrated their groups’ successes by meeting chat show host and comedian, Alan Carr.

Alan, a well-loved TV personality, co-hosted the annual Slimming World Awards with the organisation’s founder and chair Margaret Miles-Bramwell OBE.

The team, who run Slimming World groups in Wiltshire and Gloucestershire, were delighted to get a chance to meet Alan.

Joanne Stone, of the group, said it was the perfect end to a fantastic year for the groups.

She said: “The members at our group make me burst with pride, not only have they seen big changes on the scales, many have improved their health and completely changed their lives too.

"Watching people grow in confidence each week and take on things that they didn’t think possible before losing weight absolutely amazes me.

"I feel proud of the small part I play in supporting people to achieve their dreams and to celebrate alongside them when they do, so we were honoured to represent the Wiltshire and Gloucestershire groups at the Slimming World Awards. Alan was left in awe of the difference Slimming World makes to people’s lives too.”

Ola Zelazinska, also of the group added: “Last year was our 50th year, which was full of celebrations and successes.

"We’ve supported more people than ever to achieve their dreams and we’re so excited about what 2020 has in store.”
