THREE super slimmers have been awarded the title of Diamond Member of the Year for inspiring others with their incredible long-term weight loss.

Sue Lawton and Lee and Jenny Cullen are all members of Warrington Slimming World groups, ran by consultant Sarah Jones, which meet every Monday at Stockton Heath Primary School and every Friday at The Fairfield and Howley Neighbourhood Project.

Slimmer Sue, who joined the Fairfield and Howley group after being diagnosed with type-2 diabetes, has been received the award after losing three stone and changing her life around on the programme.

She has now been taken off all of her diabetes medication thanks to leading a healthier lifestyle and can now enjoy time with her grandchildren.

She said: "My consultant Sarah and the other members in the group helped me to pick up new ideas and recipes every week, and to help me to get to my target weight, and 12 months later I’m still at my target weight.”

The Diamond Member of the Year award recognises members who have reached their target weight and continue to inspire other slimmers in their group, like Lee and Jenny Cullen.

The pair, who joined the Stockton Heath group in 2017, lost 12 stone collectively in their first nine months of slimming and have managed to maintain their weight loss since.

Lee and Jenny recently won the couple of the year competition, as well being named the group's Diamond Member 2018 which is awarded to the most inspirational member of the group who has lost and maintained their weight.

Slimming World members who achieve their target, which they set themselves, can continue to attend their group every week for free as long as they stay within three pounds either side of their target weight.

The couple continue to attend the Stockton Heath Slimming World group and believe that without the unwavering support from its members, they would have struggled to keep their weight off.

Consultant Sarah said: "I’m so proud of the members and the inspirational way in which they maintained their weight loss. It’s always great for new members to see just what’s possible at Slimming World – after we’ve explained why someone so slim is in the group in the first place, that is.

"I know they inspire other people too and helps them to recognise that with Slimming World you really can be slim for life. If you’ve been inspired by these members come along to a Slimming World group and start your own ball rolling to living happy."
