Support group was the key to successful weight loss regime

TWO Tavistock women have managed to achieve a seven stone weight loss between them — even though they both work with food every day. Elaine Davies and Jenny Carter, domestic staff at Mount House School, were both unhappy about their weight and decided to join Tavistock Slimming World class every Thursday. Although both women work around food all day there is still a vast choice of healthy food available to them — giving them a chance to lose weight. Jenny said: 'I joined Slimming World because I didn't want to be fat at 50! I was fed up with huffing and puffing when I walked, I have been overweight for 25 years and was determined that this time it would work.' Elaine, who is now a target member, said: 'We have such a laugh during Image Therapy with like minded people, and get recipe ideas and inspiration from friends we have made in the group. 'I joined because I wanted clothes to fit me better and feel good in what I was wearing. Now I'm a target member I can still attend the group free and just top of the motivation I need to keep me at target because I know now that this is a lifestyle.' The Tavistock groups meet at the United Reformed Church on Russell Street at 10am, 4.45pm or 6.30pm.
