MEMBERS of a Yeadon slimming club are looking forward to a leaner future after losing 410 stone between them.
The impressive weight loss – averaging more than 2.5 stones per person – was achieved by local members of Slimming World during 2014.
The figure was described as “staggering” by Yeadon consultant Glynis Balshaw, who runs the club at LA Fitness.
She said: “Most people who embark on New Year diets start to struggle within days or weeks because they follow plans that are too restrictive and leave them feeling hungry or deprived so they’re impossible to keep up. At Slimming World we’ve been helping people to lose weight for decades so we’ve learned a thing or two about supporting slimmers to achieve their dreams, including how important it is to their success to have weight loss as well as be able to enjoy everyday food.”
