The super slimmers group in Rodbourne have lost 3150.5lbs in weight since January this year.

All together the members of the Rodbourne Methodist Church Slimming World group are now 225 stones lighter than they were when Consultant Sammi Lamb took over the group in January - that’s 22.5 stones lost each month.

The 65 members, who attend the group every week, follow Slimming World’s Food Optimising eating plan created by the organisation’s team of expert nutritionists. The plan which encourages slimmers to fill up on foods such as pasta, rice, potatoes, lean meat and fish, pulses and fruit and veg.

The Rodbourne consultant, Sammi Lamb said: “Reaching this amazing weight loss as a group just proves the huge change that every single member has made to their lives, some people who’ve lost big amounts of weight have probably even saved their lives.

"It’s brilliant to celebrate together as well because that’s how we’ve been losing weight – together. Every week we support and encourage each other and share tips and recipes, and on top of that we have a lot of fun.

"I am so proud of every single person that walks through our Slimming World doors and the fact that they’re losing weight so beautifully week on week is testament to this amazing plan, not to mention their determination to make a difference to their lives”.

Swindon has the highest rates of obesity and excess weight in adults in the South West whereby 71% of Swindon adults in 2016 were considered overweight. Sammi is determined to make sure this number reduces.

Sammi added: “I am so excited to announce that from Tuesday 14 November, I will be opening another group in Rodbourne to help support even more of the local (and not so local) community to achieve their dream weight. Plus, with it being a brand new morning group, I hope we can cater for even more of the community who struggle to make the commitment of an evening group.

"I love my job so much and seeing how this incredible combination of unlimited Free Food, increasing activity and the dedication of support, love and help from everyone involved, results in members changing their lives forever”.

The new group, run by Sammi, will be launching at Rodbourne  Methodist Church, Rodbourne Road, on Tuesday 14 November at 9.30am.
