A Wishaw duo have charged into 2025 like new men following their dramatic weight loss.
Grahaeme Hughes and Hugh Boyd have lost a combined 10 and a half stones between them and have never felt better.
Grahaeme has lost 6.5 stone since joining Slimming World.
He had tried so many different weight-loss plans before joining his local group in Wishaw. He has more energy and feels less breathless.
He said: “At first, I was so surprised at the variety of food I can eat and I’ve found group is the best place for advice, recipes and hints and tips on where the best offers are.”
Hugh, who has lost four stone, added: “My consultant Lian and the other members in group were so friendly from the get-go and we had such a laugh.
“Each week, I look forward to seeing how everyone’s got on and I know people care about my success too, which is lovely.”
Slimming World consultant Lian McCulloch is delighted with Grahaeme and Hugh’s success.
She said: “Our friendly Friday morning group has achieved some phenomenal results over the last year with a record number of members achieving their target weight and some brilliant life changing results for many members including Grahaeme and Hugh.
“Hugh’s wife Ann is also a lifetime target member of our group. There’s no better place for support to help put you in control than a Slimming World group, where there will be absolutely no judgement.
“Just understanding, trust, friendship, community spirit and lots of fun and laughter. We eat real food, get real results and offer real support.”
With new year resolutions inspiring many to start losing weight, Lian who runs the Friday Morning group in Wishaw’s Beltane Outdoor Bowling Club, is hoping to welcome others to her group.
She added: “Unsurprisingly, losing weight on a budget has been a hot topic in Slimming World communities in recently.
“I’m always amazed by what a treasure trove of useful information our Slimming World group is.
“Members share low-cost recipes and top tips for saving money, as well as tracking down bargains and special offers, so it’s easy to know where to go for the best deals locally.
“We often pop them on our closed Facebook group too.”
You can pop along on a Friday morning at either 9am or 10.30am at Beltane Outdoor Bowling club in Alexander Street, Wishaw, or contact Lian on 07748 845684.
