A BRIDGWATER Slimming World group is celebrating a weight loss milestone for 2024. 

Members of the Tuesday evening group, which attend Morganians Rugby Club for their sessions, have collectively lost a total of 209 stone (or 1,327 kilograms) of weight in 2024.

It’s a milestone achievement for Iona Venn, a Slimming World Consultant from Bridgwater who runs the group that has motivated members to lose weight.
 

Iona marked the achievement by attending Slimming World’s annual awards ceremony in Birmingham. This year was a double celebration as the weight-loss company celebrates its emerald anniversary, marking 55 years of weight management expertise.

“I’m so incredibly proud of the members of the Tuesday evening group. Not just for the weight that they’ve lost – which is phenomenal – but for the changes that they’ve made too”, Iona reflected.

“Anyone who’s tried to lose weight before knows that it isn’t easy, it takes determination, motivation and commitment. My members inspire me every week, and it feels so special to know that the support provided in the group has helped them to unlock their weight loss dreams.”

Iona’s Slimming World group in Bridgwater has seen members accomplish a wide range of goals and ambitions for 2024, losing weight from 7lbs to 7 stone. Members range from the ages of 15 to 80, with all involved in a supportive and inspiring environment enabling their individual and collective success.

As well as attending the weekly group and having access to 1,900 delicious recipes, activity videos and a barcode scanner on Slimming World’s app, all members follow Slimming World’s healthy eating plan.

The generous, balanced and flexible plan is based on everyday healthy foods, helping members to lose weight without feeling hungry or having to cook and eat separate meals from the rest of their household. Slimming World also has a physical activity support programme that encourages members to become more active at their own pace, doing something they enjoy.

Iona added: “Seeing people discover that they can lose weight for good and that it doesn’t have to be a miserable experience is nothing short of magic. I truly believe I have the best role in the world. The support and training I’ve received from Slimming World has been second to none, and I’m delighted to be part of an organisation that’s been helping to change people’s lives for 55 years.”
