Bronze award for Heavitree slimming group
A weight-loss expert from Exeter has won a brilliant bronze award for the exceptional work she does in helping 170 people in the area to lose weight every week.
To celebrate this achievement Lyndsay is opening a new day time Heavitree group.
The new group will open at 10am on Tuesday 10th November at Heavitree Social Club to enable more local slimmers to reach their dream weights, improve their health and change their lives.
Lyndsay, who already runs Heavitree and Whipton Slimming World groups, has been given the ‘Bronze’ status by the national slimming club because of her success in supporting local slimmers.
The accolade is awarded to Slimming World Consultants who successfully build a vibrant and dynamic group of around 50 members, and when the service they provide is so good that members keep coming week after week because they’re losing weight beautifully and wouldn’t miss their weekly friendly fun supportive group for anything. It’s the 3rd time Lyndsay has been awarded the prize since becoming a Consultant in 2009.
She says: “I am delighted to have received the ‘Bronze’ award again on behalf of the Heavitree group. I feel passionately about helping people to transform their lives by losing weight in the same way that I did when I lost 4st with Slimming World in 2008. Losing weight made me feel happier and healthier and gave me so much more confidence. I became a Consultant because I wanted to share that feeling and help other people to achieve the same success I had myself. I enjoyed being able to eat all my favourite foods in a slimming way and never go hungry while having great results - check out Spice N Tice for slimming recipes. Seeing the members in my groups – mums, dads, grandmas and young people too – reach their target weight is so rewarding and receiving this award is just the icing on the cake.
“This award belongs to the Heavitree group’s 120 members. They’re the ones who make the groups the success that they are, with their fabulous commitment, the wonderful support they give each other every week, and, obviously, their impressive weight losses while following Slimming World’s Food Optimising eating plan.
“The Heavitree and Whipton groups have really put healthy weight loss on the map in Exeter. Together, they’ve lost an amazing 434 st this year. Obesity is at record levels everywhere and with 69 per cent of adults in Devon being affected, lots of people here are suffering a range of weight-related health problems from diabetes to heart problems and feelings of low self-worth that impact on their working and personal lives every day. So anything that helps people to lose weight by adopting healthy eating habits and becoming more active is making a difference – both to themselves and future generations of children, too.
To join the new Heavitree group, which will be held every Tuesday at 10am at Heavitree social club, East Wonford hill, Exeter from 10th November- either pop along for a warm Friendly welcome and a cuppa tea or give Lyndsay a call on 07816 223803 .
