Couple loose six stone with Slimming World

Linzi and Steve joined Slimming World in March 2024 because their physical health was on the decline and they was on a downward spiral to morbid obesity and other weight related issues. They knew that they had to do something before it was too late. They are now seven months into their journey and we weigh in and attend Image Therapy every week and we both contribute towards the WhatsApp group which keeps us motivated for the week. We have now so far lost nearly six stone between us in just seven months. 

The couple said: "Physically it feels amazing, less joint pain, better mobility, more energy, more confidence to go out and enjoy ourselves and the ability to throw away old clothes and replace them with new much smaller clothes which does amazingly for their self esteem. 

"The group we go to is Karlton's Great Barr Group. The group is extremely friendly, supportive and we support each other to loose weight. Karlton has been extremely supportive and is very knowledgeable about Slimming World. He checks in during the week and we know he is there anytime we need him. The session is getting bigger and everyone is treated with respect. Karlton makes you feel so comfortable and even if we have had a gain Karlton will explore the reasons and helps the group plan for the week ahead. 

"I believe if we didn’t attend Karlton's group then we would definitely revert back to our old ways and easily put the weight on and more and this will lead to our physical health reverting back to the old ways." 

Karlton holds Slimming World sessions on Thursdays 5.30pm and 7pm at St Chads Church Hall Beechdale, Saturdays 9am at Great Barr Conservative Club, Newton Road, and Mondays 7pm at Rushall Olympic Football Club in Rushall.
