New Slimming World consultant says less really is more

SLIMMING WORLD’S brand new consultant is ready to help Saddleworth residents follow in her footsteps to help them achieve their weight loss dreams too.

Mum of two and food lover Allison Slingo always struggled with her weight until discovering the group and losing 1st 11lbs in five months – while still eating all her favourite foods.p16 slimming world allison

It had taken three attempts for Allison to pluck up the courage to join a group but she has not looked back after receiving such a friendly and supportive welcome.

Allison said: “Everyone was there for the same reason, I found it was easy to relate, and now my new friends are a big part of my life. I couldn’t imagine not going to the group.”

Amazed she could still eat her favourite foods and lose weight, Allison dines with her family and can regularly be found tucking into burger and chips, curries and steak pie.

Allison, who admitted she even enjoys a few cheeky vodkas, added: “I never have to feel hungry and it’s easy to make my favourite meals.

“Since losing the weight my confidence has come back. I go out watching my husband’s band regularly but used to feel embarrassed about how I looked, which meant I drank more to stop me thinking about it.

“Prior to weight loss, I couldn’t walk up Pots and Pans with the family and they would go without me. Now my asthma medication has halved I can do everything with them again.”

And now Allison is looking forward to becoming a Slimming World Consultant for the Greenfield Group to help others achieve the same positive results.

She said: “I’m looking forward to introducing people to the great food, group and helping others achieve their weight loss dreams.”

The Slimming World Greenfield Group meets at Boarshurst Band Club, Greenbridge Lane, on Tuesdays at 5.30pm and 7.30pm.
