Slimmers from Ross-on-Wye are aiming to make an annual month-long healthy food festival the biggest and best yet!

‘Love it, cook it, share it’ is the motto of Slimming World’s Free Food February, so to mark the launch of the 2018 campaign members of the Ross-on-Wye and Tudorville Slimming World groups will be creating a delicious healthy feast to enjoy together.

From 28th January to 3rd March, slimmers will celebrate how they’ve all lost weight without hunger and discovered (or rediscovered) a passion for tasty, filling ‘Free’ food. The festival, which is in its fourth year, also marks the publication of Slimming World’s latest recipe book Little Book of Menus*.

Following the big feast and throughout Free Food February, the slimmers – who’ve lost more than 1,000 st between them during 2017 – will also be challenged to pass on their new-found love of healthy food to their family and friends in a bid to ‘love it, cook it, share it’ with the whole local community. Everyone will be using #FreeFoodFeb to share their mouth-watering meals on social media, too.

The launch party also includes the groups annual Young Slimmer of the Year competition and on Monday 12/2/17, local Slimming World Consultant Debra says she is delighted to announce that Slimming World’s National Couple of the Year, Mark and Amanda Gibbon (who between them lost nearly 11.5 stone) will be visiting her 5.30pm and 7.30pm groups which are held at the Larruperz Centre in order to share their stories and hopefully, inspire and motivate others to do likewise.

Debra says “I am delighted that Mark and Amanda have agreed to come along to our groups in Ross and I would like to invite anyone who is interested (whether a current member or not) to come along and hear their inspirational stories. They truly are an amazing couple. You could be amazing too!”
