A SLIMMER who transformed her life by losing six stone is now using her success to shape a whole new career helping others to achieve their weight loss goals too.

Cassie Shields joined her local Slimming World group in Monmouth four years ago and dropped from a size 20 to a size six and has maintained her weight for just over a year.

Now, she has trained as a consultant for Slimming World at their national training academy in Derbyshire and takes over the Coleford group on January 2, 2017.

She said: “When I first joined Slimming World as a member, I never dreamed that I would end up helping other people to lose weight but now I just can’t wait to get started. After losing six stone and completing my training, it’s a privilege for me to be able to pass on the experience, insight and understanding that helped me, so that I can give my members the support they need to get to target.

“Like a lot of slimmers, I had tried to lose weight before by following different diets but they were never sustainable. I thought I was destined to struggle with my weight for the rest of my life, but when I came to Slimming World it was different. I never felt like I was on a diet.

“Slimming World isn’t just about changing what you eat. Becoming more active is important too. ”

Cassie’s Slimming World group will be held at Forest Hills Golf Club every Monday at 9.30am and 7pm. For more information call Cassie on 07967186147.
