A SUCCESSFUL slimmer is hoping to inspire others to do the same when she takes over a club in Northwich.

Carla Dalton transformed her life by losing a stone and a half eating her favourite family friendly foods such as hotpot’s and pasta is now using her success to shape a whole new career helping other people change their lives and achieve their weight loss dreams too.

The nursery leader, who lives in Tarporley, joined her local Slimming World group in Delamere just after Lockdown and has since trained as a consultant, and will take over a group at Northwich Cricket Club on Thursday, January 27.

She said: "Support is really the most important thing. It all starts with feeling that you’re not alone.

"As someone who has lost weight myself, I know the challenges people can face, which is why, along with the group, I will be there to support every one of my members all the way to their chosen target weight.

"Setting targets, sharing recipes and other ideas, and working together as a group to overcome challenges and celebrate success is so important to a successful journey.

"That’s why, at my Slimming World group, there’ll be tons of support, encouragement, and fun.

"Like a lot of slimmer’s, I had tried to lose weight so many times before by following numerous diets but they were never sustainable because I’d always get tired of restricting what I ate.

"I thought I was destined to struggle with my weight for the rest of my life, but when I came to Slimming World, it was different.

"I never felt like I was on a diet.

"The eating plan encourages you to eat lots of tasty, filling foods like pasta, rice, potatoes and lean meat and fish, you are never hungry, and no foods are banned so there’s no deprivation.

"I couldn’t believe I’d found a way to lose weight without starving myself.

"As a consultant it’s my role to create that warm, supportive atmosphere to get people sharing their ideas and experiences to help others - it’s going to be great fun."
