Mel celebrates 10 years of helping others on their weight loss journeys
A weight loss expert from Sandwell is celebrating her 10 year anniversary having helped hundreds of people in the area to lose weight every week.
Mel Warburton, who runs the Smethwick & Rowley Regis Slimming World groups, is celebrating 10 years with the UK and Ireland’s leading weight management organisation supporting local slimmers to reach their dream weights, improve their health and change their lives.
Mel says: “I’m delighted to be celebrating 10 Years, my passion for helping people to transform their lives has never waivered, even during the tough Covid months when I had to take groups online”.
Mel herself lost nine stone with Slimming World in October 2014. “Losing weight made me feel happier and healthier and have me so much more confidence. I became a consultant because I wanted to share that feeling and help others to achieve the same success I had myself. Seeing the members in my Smethwick and Rowley Regis groups reach their target weight is so rewarding and receiving this award is the icing on the cake”.
“This milestone has been achieved with the help of the members. They’re the ones who make the groups the success that they are, with their fabulous commitment, the wonderful support they give each other every week, and, obviously, their impressive weight losses while following Slimming World’s Food Optimising eating plan."
The Smethwick and Rowley Regis groups have put healthy weight loss on the map. Together, they’ve lost an amazing 423lb this year. Mel says: “The number of people living with obesity is at record levels and in Sandwell, it’s estimated that 69.8 percent of adults are living with obesity. As well as the emotional difficulties this causes, obesity is linked to many serious health conditions such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease, strokes and several types of cancer. So I’m extremely proud to be supporting people in our community each week to lose weight be eating more healthily and adopting a more active lifestyle for the long term.
"The healthy influence of Slimming World stretches right across families too, with 75 per cent of members reporting that they have influenced their family and friends to make healthier choices”.
