TWO Slimming World consultants from Northwich have been celebrating their groups’ successes by meeting chat show host and comedian, Alan Carr.

Alan, a well-loved TV personality, co-hosted the annual Slimming World Awards alongside the organisation’s founder and chair, Margaret Miles-Bramwell OBE.

Attending the event was Michelle Meenan, who runs Slimming World groups in Castle and Winnington, and Sally Riley, who runs groups in Lostock Gralam and Knutsford.

And the pair were delighted to get the chance to meet Alan in what was the perfect end to a fantastic year.

“The members at our group make me burst with pride,” said Michelle.

“Not only have they seen big changes on the scales, but many have improved their health and completely changed their lives too.

“Watching people grow in confidence each week and take on things that they didn’t think possible before losing weight absolutely amazes me.

“Alan was also left in awe of the difference Slimming World makes to people’s lives too.”

Alan, who presents comedy chat show Chatty Man on Channel 4, said it was great to meet both Michelle and Sally at the event held at Birmingham’s International Convention Centre.

“I met so many people who had transformed their lives, and it was clear how much the support they received from their ‘Slimming World family’ meant to them,” he said.

“Every one of them spoke passionately about how they couldn’t have made those changes to eat more healthily and become more active without the support of consultants like Michelle, Sally and their group every week.

“I left the awards feeling so uplifted and positive, I wish I could’ve bottled that Slimming World feeling.”

Sally added: “Last year was our 50th year, which was full of celebrations and successes.

“We’ve supported more people than ever to achieve their dreams and we’re so excited about what 2020 has in store.

“For anyone thinking of taking that step to lose weight and improve their health this New Year, I truly believe that joining a local Slimming World group is the best way for people to learn new habits and make long-term healthy changes.

“At the groups, they’ll discover a whole world of support to help them achieve their dreams and stay slim for life – with lots of fun along the way too.”
