WHEN Linda Woodfield found herself struggling to do up her seatbelt on a flight abroad, she decided enough was enough.

Returning from holiday, the 42-year-old from Chepstow, joined her local Slimming World group and has now recorded an eight stone weight loss.

"The warm welcome I received made me feel at ease straight away. Everyone, members and the consultant alike, were so friendly, I felt like I had finally found somewhere to start my weight loss journey.

"Being married and having a busy full time job meant that I had little time to bother with fussy recipes so realising I could eat normal foods such as roast dinners, spaghetti Bolognese and curries was fantastic and even my husband has eaten the same paella and salmon dishes I have eaten and lost weight too.

"Losing eight stone has made my life more exciting and rewarding. My husband and I walk between 4 and 6 miles regularly whereas before we were couch potatoes. On a recent flight the seat belt even had to be shortened!

Consultant, Debbie Campbell, who has also just lost two stone at the group, is relaunching the Chepstow Slimming World next Monday (September 5). To find out more get in touch with Debbie on 01594 529183 or Mobile Phone 07724 081630.
