A WEST Devon woman has been featured in the new issue of the national Slimming World magazine. Sarah Riley, 21, a former Tavistock College student, lost a ?whopping? five stone in eleven months after joining Slimming World with her family last September. The article on Sarah in the November and December edition describes how Sarah joined Slimming World with her family, after witnessing her friend lose weight while still being able to tuck into a bacon sandwich every morning. Sarah, from Roborough, attends Tracy Horton?s Slimming World group in Tavistock, and has found that her new shape and weight has enabled her to accomplish things she normally would not have been able to do. Now, Sarah can go running and enjoy long walks with her boyfriend Sam and her family whereas before she would have struggled. But most importantly Sarah has obtained a new job in law, an achievement which she said she owed to her new-found confidence. Sarah said: ?When I first joined Slimming World I was 15stone and 3lbs, but was reassured by my consultant that I would never weigh that again ? and she was right. ?I stuck to food optimising to the letter and lost 7lbs in my first week. ?I recently went for an interview as a paralegal and I?m sure my new-found confidence helped me to get the job of my dreams.? Tavistock?s group meets on Thursday at the United Reformed Church at 10am, noon, 4.45pm and 6.30pm.
