A WEIGHT loss group held its annual competition and rather than one, ended up with three winners.

Leyburn Slimming World’s contest for their woman of the year usually sees a popular member crowned winner from each of the 3 sessions held in the small market town.

Having reached and maintained her target weight for over a year the early group winner is 60-year-old Lesley Taylor from Newbiggin who is also diamond target member. The teatime group winner is 46-year-old Sarah Alderson from Reeth who has lost over 4 stones and very close to her ideal target weight. Gemma Calvert from Hawes who is 25-year-old attends the evening class she reached her reached her target after losing more than 3 stones.

The group’s consultant is Anette Wing and is very proud of her three winners. She said: “Our highly effective approach to weight loss is empowering and enabling; it is based on a deep understanding of how you feel and a passionate desire to help you achieve your personal weight loss goals – and maintain them for life.”

The Leyburn groups meet Wednesdays: 9am, 5.30pm and 7.30pm at The Old School House. Annette can be contacted on 07879559336 or visit www.slimmingworld.com.
