A SLIMMER from Delamere is proud to show off his amazing weight loss success after losing six stone in just 30 weeks.

Before starting the Slimming World sessions at Delamere Community Centre, John Brooker was prediabetic and taking tablets for high blood pressure.

But thanks to the help of the group, he has seen a vast reduction in his medication and enjoying the benefits of a healthier diet and lifestyle.

“Being told by the doctor that I was prediabetic gave me the kick I needed to do something about it,” John said.

“I tried doing it on my own but found it too difficult, and I needed the support, encouragement and advice that the group can offer.

“My energy levels are now fantastic and I feel a lot healthier, so I was made up when the doctor told me I was no longer prediabetic and that he was halving the dosage of my blood pressure tablets.

“One of my biggest problems was snacking late at night and I don’t do that anymore, so I wish I’d have started at the group sooner.”

Tanya Wady, Slimming World consultant for the Delamere group, added: “In just 30 weeks, John has managed to lose an amazing six stone to reach his target weight.

“In doing so, he lost four pounds each week and even went on holiday and still came back with a weight loss.

“Since becoming a consultant two years ago, I have lost three and a half stone through Slimming World and I am currently optimising food while pregnant.

“Even this week I have managed to lose three pounds while working with NHS midwives, so the plan is great for pregnant women and members with diabetes too.”

The Delamere Slimming world group meet every Wednesday between 5.30pm and 7.30pm and from 9.30 am to 11.30 am on Thursdays at Delamere Community Centre.
