Slimmers in Ross-on-Wye were visited by Slimming World’s National Man of the Year 2017, Tony Westaway and his wife Gail recently.

Tony explained that he had joined his local group in Exmouth back in 2015 and lost an amazing weight loss of 13st 4.5lbs in just 18 months and was maintaining his weight with no intention of putting his weight back on again.

Tony said that he was initially nervous about joining the group but because his weight was putting his heart at risk, it was something he knew he needed to do.

According to Tony, his local group helped him find the focus and determination to succeed and he encourages all members to join their local Slimming World group and stay in the group whenever possible to get that all important IMAGE therapy i.e. Individual Motivation and Group Experience. Members who attended the class said they found his visit inspirational, thought provoking, motivational and fun!

Tony says that Slimming World has changed his life. If you would like to join in, lose weight and change your life, please call 0344 897 8000 or visit slimmingworld.co.uk to find your nearest group.
